If you see this, and you're in the mood for this kind of thing, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.
A view of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk from the Municipal Wharf. Ocean, beach, and a few frolickers in the foreground, the roller coaster, Ferris Wheel, and other Boardwalk rides in the midrange, and green trees, the Santa Cruz Mountains, and a cloudy evening sky in the background.

My dog just got a new toy and he LOVES it!

Our friend Lucky, who went back to live with his original human this year. He didn’t mind the new humans, but he never came around to the dog.

I am so sorry. We lost our darling golden boy two years ago, very suddenly, probably to skin cancer, at only 9. Whiskey’s 3 1/2 years were WAY too short. Pictured is our new guy, doing his best to fill his predecessor’s paws. (Actually, tbh, he thinks he’s perfect. He does have great smile.)

My Halloween setup this year. We get so many more kids since we started setting up outside instead of waiting for the doorbell to ring!
A suburban outdoor night scene showing three small tables on the sidewalk, each covered with a piece of Halloween themed fabric. The leftmost and tallest table is decorated with a bunch of glowing orange mason jars; the middle table has a plastic owl, a largish orange bowl, and a smaller black cauldron-shaped bowl; and the rightmost and lowest table has a fake black cat (tail end in view) and a rather large cauldron on it.

A golden retriever with wet ears and a dirty face lies, relaxed, on a red and blue patterned rug, gazing adorably at the camera.

Just checking that everyone here is familiar with Bobobo Bo Bo-Bobo, who actually does have superpowered nose hairs…

Anime character Bobobo Bo Bo-Bobo, a very tall man a bright yellow Afro, medium brown skin, and two extraordinarily long nose hairs, clings to the wing of an airplane while his nose hairs trail behind him, apparently rescuing two other characters, a boy and a girl, who are flailing mid- air. Still more characters— one who looks like Gumby and another who looks like an orange sun— cling to his body.

Astro sends his best birthday wishes and suggests that a birthday nap is a delightful treat. And I, having met that milestone two decades ago, can confirm that the best is yet to come. Happy birthday!

Chuck, I saw this painting at the Legion of Honor Museum in San Francisco the other day and thought of you— just in case you might ever be inspired to write an erotic romance featuring the personification of the Allegory of Geometry (or any of the other seven liberal arts). Thanks for being here!
