#caturday but maybe a kangaroo? Not sure, but he is purring.
Black cat on a brown blanket who flipped over on his back and is holding all four paws out awkwardly, in a way that kind of makes him look like a kangaroo.

Perfect timeline juxtaposition this morning.
Phone screenshot with Flavor Flav in a fluorescent green tracksuit and matching shoes dancing, above an image of some dapper burrowing owls who also appear to be doing some fancy steps. But with no sneakers.

Gray chicken on a grassy field with her leg stuck out somewhat provocatively, somehow

Chickens lolling on the grass in the sun will never not be funny
A brown and black stripes chicken and a gray chicken lie in green grass. They are in awkward looking positions and the gray one is halfway under the other

Now this just looks like a fun new dance I want to learn…

Looks like the Zephyr-8 HAPS is still doing well.
Flight radar map showing a red wandering line over Kenya and a small quadcopter logo, which is kind of odd since the Zephyr doesn’t look like that at all.

Exciting launch tomorrow (part of India's new GNSS constellation), of particular interest to NISAR folks. NISAR will be up next at this location, if all goes well.

It is cold, therefore the pigeons are spherical

Cold-weather activity: making maple candies from the excess of last years maple syrup. Fun experiments with seeing how the texture varies with temperature.
Bunch of maple candies on parchment paper, ranging from shiny (too hot when poured) to golden (just right) Heart shaped maple candies. All poured when too hot, so their final texture is a big gooey. Still yummy!

Testing out video- this includes a moment when a tree branch falls and startled them. They squawk a bunch and then settle down to some contented trilling. One ran to me and hid behind my skirts

We had a fun group of eight turkeys visit today.
Subset of five turkeys on a mossy lawn with some rocks and dried leaves. Turkeys have blue faces and are looking like they are part of a rock band Closeup of one of the turkeys, blue face, red waddle and black brown feathers. Coppery feet show underneath. Turkey looks inquisitive. Likely is fed by humans pretty frequently View from inside the house at four turkeys walking on a stone patio. A gray and white cat is looking at them anxiously

Alert! There has been an important change in orientation. (He then got up and now I’m going to work)
Same black cat as in earlier photo, on blue stripes blanket, but with paw stretched out to the camera and toe beans in sharp focus. Rest of image is blurry

I’m loving the trend of kid drawings as early voting stickers!!
Zoom in to early voting sticker. It’s a happy green frog on a flower with “I voted” above. Woman is wearing a black tshirt with “protect trans kids” repeated on multiple lines. Got a lot of smiles in line.

We have entered the “my black cat sees a ghost” time of the year.
