Went to mini-comic-con in Juneau at the state library. The last special exhibit I went to was when they has Shakespeare’s first folio. This one had more buzz#
The first Varied Thrushes of spring have been around. Plus I got this visitor to my yard.
After No King day protest in Juneau I am reminded of the words of Van Morrison When no one steps on my dreams There'll be days like this When people understand what I mean There'll be days like this When you ring out the changes Of how everything is Well my mama told me There'll be days like this
Last month I paid heating oil at 4.58. T@his month it is 6.18. Increase from what would have been 610 to 823 Yes, I could replace my old boiler/ water baseboard system with mini-pump heat system but the. Would cost tens of thousands
Looking at some bookings on AMHS this summer and this website photo reminds me of the singing nun on Airplane!
Amid the land of ice and snow (enough is enough, already!) I feel compelled to post the Viking Kittens https://youtu.be/riaIpe_qi_k?si=-luKyZDvp3ndMYQW (Edited 2:39 PM via @skeetsapp.com)
Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night will keep the local cat from making his appointed rounds. (It’s not my cat so don’t @ me about keeping cats indoors. I think his route takes him from my neighbors carport, under the eaves of my house, across in front of the garage, then down my driveway. )
I put these in a Lays Potato Chip contest years ago but for some reason they didn’t get upvoted
Something about these times dredged up a childhood memory : Scarecrow! Scarecrow! The soldiers of the king feared his naaame”. My sister remembered it to it was on the wonderful world of Disney. https://youtu.be/0xr_f6nY8ms?si=TuLYtxYCgwQ_5Cc5
Reaching back to childhood memories. The soldiers of the king feared his name. Don’t know why that’s relevant today .. oka y, yes I do. https://youtu.be/0xr_f6nY8ms?si=ETKhVTDsqBs5Ub_z
Roof shoveling guys came by. The did a good job. Left me with a clear driveway (already cleared from the big storm, cleared snow they removed from roof) path to my oil tank, compacted path from my front door.

Small critter makes tracks across my yard. Think it’s the black cat that comes around. They look healthy so not a stray, I’m just on their route.
I think my shed is doomed (Doomed I tell you!). Was already deteriorating because who builds a shed of particle board anyway?
When you’ve been out of town for 2 weeks amid an historic snow and you have to call in the heavy equipment. Before and after pics in the reply (1/2)
Not the most inches we’ve ever seen but the definition of “heavy snow”
Я вас люби´л: любо´вь ещё, быть мо´жет, В душе´ мое´й уга´сла не совсе´м; Но пусть она´ вас бо´льше не трево´жит; Я не хочу´ печа´лить вас ниче´м. Я вас люби´л безмо´лвно, безнаде´жно, То ро´бостью, то ре´вностью томи´м; Я вас люби´л так и´скренно, так не´жно, Как дай вам Бог люби´мой быть други´м.

First real snow of the year. Temperature is right at freezing so it’s wet and heavy. Expect 13-24 inches over the next few days. Made it to the IGA grocery store to stock up, not going anywhere soon.
I’m trying to decide my favorite Christmas album. It’s between Aaron Neville, a Soulful Christmas, Hawaiian slack key guitar Christmas (various artists), and Willie Nelson “Pretty Paper”.
I love it when somebody explains something technical in terms of things everyone can relate to https://youtu.be/fhvAYJPd0uA?si=hTXKsXckpZaO4JsB
In my early days on Bluesky I subscribed to a list of cat accounts with lots of cat photos and I am not unhappy about it
Don’t know who this guy is but he must be from Massachusetts the way he says “mautah” for martyr. Great video describing Nixon prior to present day reaction
Andrea Matranga@andreamatranga.bsky.social · 9mo agoyoutu.be/cGJcQ_FW9TY?... it's kind of bizarre what was considered a jerk back then
I just got a payment of 44.32 from Stark et al vs PayPal. I haven’t used PayPal in years since I learned what a jerk Peter Theil is. So this seems legit but I need to spend the money. Contribution to a legit cause?
