This is too good not to share, so here is the alt-text. If you've given up on Moby Dick, you might want to give it another go after you read @calebcrain.bsky.social's essay
!["[l]t's brilliant as a meditation on... the problem of having
a soul that's inside a body, and necessarily dependent on, and sometimes antagonistic to, other bodies, which apparently have souls inside of them, too, and of living in
a world said to have been created by a deity but doesn't have all that much in it in the way of the grace and mercy that a benevolent deity could be counted on to supply."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cqrtn67x4xlsflvr5wo3a4xa/bafkreid5ifgdtjkvfcvt2w4uujqf5ec24doafnhuckuk4uhwvesiqoqiqe@jpeg)

Years ago someone pointed out bands in the sky like this and explained what they are. That was a long time ago and I've forgotten the explanation, but here they are again! (This is facing northwest, early in the morning, so they are not sunbeams.) Can someone tell me again what's the dealio here?

This one from my kids' Gold Medal Flour cookbook was a family favorite. The dill pickles and pickle juice truly make the pie! I'd use cheddar cheese because cheddar and dill and beef together are somehow greater than the sum of their parts

An I-Dont-Want-To-Cook meal that turned out pretty good even tho or maybe because it required more cooking than I'd intended to invest:
Rotisserie chicken shreds
Pre-made roasted root veggies
Instant mashed potatoes
Improvised cornstarch gravy
I shoulda thrown in some frozen greens too

Our little town had a great turnout, 700 people! That's basically the whole town. We posted up on Hwy 101 waving at drivers and had 90% positive response from cars passing by. It was a great event. (If you zoom in you can see how far down 101 goes)

What a fun book. I was especially impressed by phase 4 of the owl on page 40. I didn't know they had a naked lady phase! Puts owls in a whole new light

Have I already mentioned how GOOD this stuff is? I got it at a very local little grocer, so maybe it's just a local thing. It's from Trazza Foods in Tualatin, Oregon, and it is delicious. Makes everything better. Maybe not ice cream...but also, maybe?

This is a solid ball made of aluminum foil. I made it accidentally by putting a sheet of balled up aluminum foil in my dryer to minimize static (it works!). Long ago I saw someone post about making a ball like this by hand, but I can't remember who. Was it you?

I know there are lots of glib and facile explanations. But it defies understanding. Even stupidity seems insufficient. I just keep thinking of this guy. That's the best explanation I've got.

My kids and I visited one of the largest trees in the U.S. yesterday. It's growing in a beautifully preserved and easily accessible bog in Rockaway Beach, Oregon. Absolutely stunning and humbling. My photos don't even come close to doing it justice.
