Hellooooo, nurse!
A black short haired cat is lying on his back on a bright green rug, facing up towards the camera. His forepaws are daintily crossed and he is looking at the camera with his green eyes, wondering why he isn’t being fed right now.

Car going in for inspection today and I get to find out how many other things are wrong too. Fingers crossed it’s all minor stuff.

We know about the part that got half-torn off in the tunnel debris at least. Sigh.
Image is a Toyota radiator support splash screen, basically a weirdly shaped piece of what is I swear an aluminum and tin alloy that is bent on one side and in the shadow you can see the screw still attached. It has a few other screw attachment points that oddly enough have no evidence of mounting hardware ever being near it.

I managed to get some nature snaps lately, here is a butterfly bush with a bee on it.
A fuschia butterfly bush, many of the flowers already fertilized and fading, but one clump has a bee hanging on the end.

And the dessert - maple delight sundae. Mmmmm.
A plastic cup filled with maple soft serve ice cream down one half of it, hot caramel on the bottom of the other half, and a hot glazed cinnamon roll on top.

The fall pilgrimage to Page’s starts :)
The front of Page’s Dairy Mart, a food and ice cream takeout place on Carson St in Pittsburgh. There’s a lit up ice cream cone up top and folks standing around on line and waiting for their order.

Eh, it was mixed. The enchilada sauce was good for the depth of flavor but not spicy at all, the stuffed fried chiles were decently spicy - not death, just enough to notice. Real pretty though.
A pair of large chili peppers are breaded and fried, resting in a round metallic takeout tray. They are a nice fried brown - not burnt, but not too light to be undercooked.

Guess what?!
A photo of a nondescript interior hallway. The relevant detail is the sign next to the closed door that says “Triage”. Yuuuuup.

Also swung by Scoops in Bloomfield and asked for a two scoop cone. I had to lick off some of the melting bit before I could take a pic but… I’m full and won’t need food again for a day or two. Red Velvet and Pittsburgh Pot Holes (chocolate fudge with chocolate chunks).
A giant two scoop waffle cone with seriously a lot of ice cream in the cone. Just it’s spilling out the top, this might have been a three or four scoop somewhere else. Red Velvet on top, Pittsburgh Pot Holes on bottom.

And there was a lovely bathtub planter out front, I couldn’t help but take a picture.
On a dark pea gravel bed, against a white concrete foundation, a magenta painted bathtub with a white railing is filled with dirt and multiple plants. There are white, pink, and yellow flowers and a couple of decorative vines. It’s very lovely.

In their new home and now we wait for sun and water to do their job. Thank you @punkademic.bsky.social, and I look forward to many batches of salsa this summer!
Close up of a orange deck railing planter, there are some cucumber leaves in the foreground, several scallion plants, the hand trowel used to plant things, and in the middle are two poblano plants.

Single pic of him ON his leash or in a harness. Gah, brain. I have pics of him, just not when he was out and about like that. Anyway, here's one of the few good pics of him I did get scanned. He was such a lovely cat.
A shorthaired black cat with green-gold eyes is sitting upright on a brown rocking chair, looking up towards the viewer. He looks very uninpressed with whatever you're doing, but is too nice to show disappointment or contempt. Clearly you should be picking him up and holding him instead of taking that picture.

Tree fell along the road. Still there, no power. Bet it’ll be like this all night. Grr.
A view of a road, there is caution tape across it because of a downed tree onto a power line. It pulled out from the ground and is pointed at the house to the left. The tree is sheared off. A closer view of the downed tree. It really just pulled up and fell down, only thing holding it up is the power lines.

I also recently had a hospital scare so I feel you on both accounts. Hope they figured out what was going on and it’s fixable. Midnight says hi and is enjoying early spring warmth before the rain comes.
A black cat is lounging in the sun on a black cushion, against the windowpane. He is belly up, head bent backwards to press his nose against the glass. His forepaws are tucked against him and he is stretched out with his back paws and tail curled in for comfort.

I have a doodle app on my phone! This is what I can do with just my finger! Hee!
A marker drawing of a dog’s head in profile of unknown breed (aiming for a hound of some sort with big perky ears) and a collar in grey, with the words Hippo B-Day J! above it in bright green marker and below it the word DAWG in blue.

My Saturday so far, how yinz doing?
A ciabatta loaf is resting on white parchment paper. It’s cut into 8 loaves, the middle four are a bit rectangular, the outer four are only square on the inside edges. They are golden brown with scattered flour over top.

We have floor registers and the cats cuddled near them, so some beds are adjacent now to save the floor. When I got heated inserts for all the beds though it was a game changer. Now they can sleep wherever they want. Midnight often overheats and has to sploot out to dump heat off.
A black short haired cat is stretched out against a cream carpet. He is chest down with his forepaws out in front of him, with his bellow stretched out behind him. His back paws are still inside the rim of the soft fleece bed he was inside, claiming it for when he finishes cooling off. You can just barely see a darker grey mat inside the fleece cup with a black cord coming out of it - that’s the heating pad. Midnight the cat is staring at the viewer as if to say what, I’m lying here.

Three images from Avatar: The Last Airbender. In each, Fire Nation Prince Zuko is talking to his Uncle Iroh. Both are dressed in a light apron over darker underclothes. They are holding tea cups. In the first panel, Uncle Iroh says "This tea is nothing more than hot leaf juice!" He is looking disparagingly at the cup of tea in his hand. In the second Zuko responds, "Uncle, that's what ALL tea is." His hand is up expressing his (wrong) opinion. Iroh is eyerolling at him. And finally, Uncle Iroh says, "How could a member of my own family say something so horrible?" Zuko looks a little annoyed at the comment, while Uncle Iroh clutches his hot leaf juice to his chest.

And we took a holiday photo for family a while back so, have a pic :)
Two people are pictured from the arms up, seated at a table. The right person is a white woman with long dark brown hair and bangs, her sweater is a black background with blue Daleks, white Weeping Angels, and sonic screwdrivers below them. The left person is a white man with brown hair drawn back, and a full mustache and beard. His sweater is dark blue with pixel art of Star Wars AT-ATs with a blue hat on top of the head and pixel fighters along the top. The wall behind them is white with various art pieces.

I managed to catch a sun dog while out walking with family this past week. Have a nice pic.
A landscape, in the sky the sun shines through clouds to the right. To the left of the sun is a reflection of the sun in the clouds, called a sun dog. There is a faint rainbow across the spot, which is almost as wide as the sun but much flatter. Below that is a tree lined horizon in shade with a few hills.

Would any Pittsburgh peeps like a vinyl Darth Vader mask? I got it a long time ago, found it again, and would hate to just toss it if anyone wants it. It’s a bit flattened but can probably be reshaped to not be an egghead.
A vinyl Darth Vader mask from the front. It’s squished in on the sides so looks not intimidating at all. Otherwise not damaged. Same mask from the side. It’s a bit pancaked but still looks like the Sith Lord. If he was run over by a golf cart I guess.

I grew up on these streets.

I made lunch.
A top-down shot of a small saucepan, filled with white ramen covered in cherry tomato halves, green peas, and two eggs just resting on top, not cooked yet.

Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa on Saturday Night Live's Black Jeopardy sketch, talking about a potato salad recipe. The quote on this image is: And she will probably add something unnecessary. Like raisins.
