Meme of two astronauts looking at earth from space, the further one is saying “the commanders are bad?” The closer one is holding a gun to the other one and saying “always have been”

Didn’t get a pic of the bus, but the BART subway cars are gorgeous and new with tons of space and open gangways. The cable car is touristy but a fun crosstown ride. And the driverless Waymo cars are disconcerting, but quite efficient and safe-seeming.

Saw this absolutely gorgeous barred owl on my street yesterday evening! I hear them all the time, but this was my first time actually seeing one.
A barred owl looks over its shoulder at the camera while perched on a branch surrounded by green leaves.

Find the berner 😂
You can barely see the black forehead, white center blaze, and brown eyebrows of a Bernese mountain dog in the middle of a large green yew bush.

Cotton candy sunset from College Park tonight
Pastel pink clouds in a pale blue sky as the sun sets with buildings, trees, and power lines silhouetted in front. Dark clouds with pink bottoms in a sunset sky with a road with cars with headlights on in the foreground.

I never posted pics from last weekend, but here were some of my faves that I saw at Dulles Plane Day!
A shiny blue ITA Airways airplane. A United jet landing with some smoke from its wheels. A rear view of a C-17 with its loading ramp open. A distant view of a Lufthansa 747 with a smaller Aer Lingus jet in front of it.

Two panels from Preacher, my all-time favorite comic book series, appropriate for today.
A comic drawing of the backs of a man with blond hair and a man with black hair looking at the World Trade Center twin towers with a comic bubble reading “That truly is somethin’.” A comic drawing of the backs of a man with black hair and a man wearing a red cap looking at the World Trade Center twin towers with a bubble reading “I fuckin’ love yeh.”
