Oldest selfie on your phone
Me on the left. Hair messed up from rain. In a museum in New Orleans. Bust of someone from the 17th century. I am trying to mimic their expression which looks like resting bitch face

Niles whined and then jumped up onto the couch and settled in between my legs for a nap. He’s currently snoring #AdventuresInPetSitting #OtherPeoplesAnimals

Happy Half Priced Candy Day to all who celebrate! We didn’t have a lot of trick or treaters, so we have a lot of candy left. I always have to get some Russell Stover marshmallow thing in whatever holiday shape. The Sour Boogers looked to fun to pass up #DayAfterHalloween #HalfPriceCandyDay

Today, October 27th, is the Day of the Dead remembrance for the pets that have left us. This is Lucy. She was the first cat we got together and this was her last Christmas with us. Our joke was she was saying “Merry HISSmas”.
We still miss her terribly four years later
A tabby cat with VERY long whiskers is lying on a green and black blanket. There is a string of Christmas light by her and behind her is a Christmas tree with lights on but no ornaments. The cat’s expression is one of exasperation. She is just glaring at the camera

Opening act was Bayonne. @chucklebags.bsky.social said it best when he said it sounded like Voyager One mixed with Helio Sequence and Amusement Parks on Fire. Fog machine now deployed for headliners Minus The Bear

From Wagner’s opera Tristan und Isolde, it is famously unresolved until the final bars of the opera
