I was driving dad to the office yesterday and we went past twin lakes. It was his first time out since we got him home from the hospital (he's doing better). He turns to me and says, "Did we just by a dick? Was that a giant dick?"
I wasn't sure what to make of it but apparently, yes.

Love that our news-monitoring anxiety options are:
a) take little sips of poison all day long, try to shake it off between doses
b) wait to chug a gallon of the stuff until end of day or in the morning
c) ignore it entirely and be surprised when Trump-branded tanks roll down your street oh no

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.
Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

I was able to do some important cookie research yesterday, thanks to two great @archive.org projects: the IA Lending Library and Bookreader Search.
It all started when we went to my parents' house yesterday for Christmas dinner, and my mom pulled out this handwritten recipe for Shape Cookies:

The literally knee-weakening relief of finding 5 obscure novels from the 1790s on Internet Archive, when my other options were a) pay the currently-wildly-overworked BL research services team for scan & send, b) pay £250 for POD versions via AbeBooks, or c) invent the rest of this thesis chapter.

Dramatic clouds over the bay this morning.

First bloom of the season in our little succulent garden! I've been transplanting as many different varieties as I can. This one was from Thornton Beach.
It's been a radiantly beautiful few days in the Bay Area.

The view of San Francisco from Mt. Tam. I managed to get above the haze today. With the still winter air and inversion, it was a high AQI day!
There were two eagles riding the ridge lift head of me.

Another use for our basement CR box / smoke season filter - drying persimmons! They are insanely abundant and delicious here this time of year. (Mostly Fuyu.) #corsirosenthalbox @Jimrosenthal4@mastodon.world CorsIAQ

Usually it shows up better with sunglasses. There’s another amazing video downthread of the post, a timelapse showing amazing dynamic clouds interacting with the same iridescent pileus effect.
