The transitional colors of Carolina Reapers going from a wrinkled green to a wrinkled, waxy red is both really neat and somehow more unsettling than the heat these things deliver. Probably because I’ll never eat them.

Anyway, if anyone wants this season’s crop for free (about 2 dozen), plea...

After ~750 days from seed, this Carolina Reaper finally yielded a fingerling like fruit and honestly wtf. A good ~3 days later and neatly bright red 🌶

I love that just a few months ago I was making a sandwich, then cynically tossed some leftover tomato seeds in some dirt with zero expectations and ended up with two more tomatoes 🍅

Then this at the local grocery store. Pretty dark for King Soopers; had to buy it.

This thing at Pier 1 trying to get me to buy shit.

Super jazzed with my plaid bell-bottoms and Spirograph.

This backlit wasp nest kinda looks like some sort of futuristic city that I wouldn’t want to live in.

The wasps that built this have kindly moved on. #macrophotography

Technically a #tbt since this thing was just pulled from a box after over 20 years. This is one of a few candle holders sold in the mid 80’s where a tea candle lit up the eyes. I think there was a wizard version as well.

Moving stuff around while cleaning and this shadow inadvertently made The Peepers into some sort of masked crusader.

#tbt to the 450lb Gargoyle that I wanted but couldn’t afford nor transport on the regular. As a renter, I seriously considered buying a house that I would eventually die in just to accommodate this seemingly immobile and very cool thing.

Look who stopped by for some tuna and a brief nap. She’s super affectionate but still fairly skittish.

These pics don’t do justice to the most vertigo inducing staircase ever. I’m trying to take the stairs more at work, but my brain shorts out every time I stand at the top of these. There’s just way too many criss-crossing patterns going on here whilst being able to see 2 floors down with a ...
