I landed a shot of this cloud that I thought bore some resemblance to the Hubble shot of "Pillars of Creation" (okay, it's a stretch but I still see it) from a Kroger parking lot years ago! 😃

Dow futures at the moment. My wealthy BiL thought T was a genius for tariffs in term 1, forcing BiL to go to Vietnam instead of China and got things more cheaply. Now there's a 46% tariff on Vietnam... 🤷♂️

This crazy one ran into my car a few years back (I was doing the speed limit!), knocking him out on the windshield. He puked but was still dazed, so I took him in the passenger seat and drove him back to the site. He seemed to be shaking it off when I left him.

Happy “Gotcha Day” to our dear friend Sputnik – eight years of having this wonderful critter under our roof (and feet)! The legendary “Jolene” inspired us to edit a version as a tribute to the perfectly engineered whine he deploys starting around 5:30 every morning... @realdollyparton.bsky.social

We get a pretty good crowd, but nowhere near that many! I like to graph them. We have started giving out ramen noodles, and it's a hit (we also have candy).
I think our biggest year was 175 kids or so, I can't imagine 700-1000! Stay strong during your onslaught! Stretch first and stay hydrated! 😄
