Sometimes photographer, author (find my books on Amazon etc.), kayaker, and a few other odds and ends.
This is from my new 2026 Calendar of Weirdness.

The three French hens were a bust 'cause the cat got one (cat says feathers stuck to his whiskers is circumstantial evidence only).The eight maids a milking were ridiculous. Who drinks so much milk? But the ma - chine to clear my drive - way 🎶was much appreciated.

Cybertruck Hunters is a TikTok account where people post videos of Cybertruck trolling.
When they find a Cybertruck, they stop behind it to project anti-Musk & anti-Cybertruck messages onto its tailgate.
Apparently, the Cybertruck's tailgate works as a great projector screen (sound on). 😂
