Superpower: I can ride Small World at Disneyland a dozen times and come out closer to nirvana than when I began. It is the true Madhyamāpratipada

I thought everyone knew orange and chocolate are great together. These have existed since 1932 😄
Terry’s Chocolate Orange, chocolate in the shape of an orange (fruit). The chocolate is made from individual wedge shaped pieces that are connected at the center. Pieces are broken off and have the appearance of sections (carpels) of the real fruit.

Himantopus mexicanus, in the San Francisco Bay lands

#bird #photography
A black and white bird with pink legs standing in shallow water, poised to grab a snack. The head is forward and lower than the tail. One leg is pulled up and back as it completes a step. The water is the blue of the reflected sky. The reflection of the bird is visible in the water. In the bottom right is the brown earth of the shoreline. A twig sticks up out of the water pointing up at the birds tail.

You know I was around for the threadnaught but never clocked this detail at the time. Like fine wine, it gets better with age
Screenshot of an article from The Verge, highlighting text that reads: “Another argued that a tweet (“What would Jesus do? Light him on fire and send him to hell”) was both blasphemous and defamatory because “[t]here is not a single place in the Bible where Jesus states that he would ‘light someone on fire and send him to hell.’”

Full moon of January 2025. The surface is mottled grey and white, with large dark splotches making up about 50% of the visible surface. The crater Tycho is distinctive at the 4 o'clock position.

Comfy winter days

#dogs #pets
A fluffy white and tan dog in a cream colored sweater, lies on a blanket sitting on top of an ottoman. Her legs are tucked under. Her black eyes peek out from under her fur which is longish and due for a cut.

While the little birds were flitting about hardly stopping, this stately beauty was simply enjoying the sunset.
A light grey bird with iridescent eye liner rests on a branch. The tree has lost almost all of its leaves.

San Francisco moon
An almost full moon rises over the East Bay hills, casting a long reflection across the bay waters. In the distance container ships and equipment to load and unload them. A layer of clouds sits between the ground and the hills.
