Finally made it to an AFL game. I've never been to Salt River Fields at night before. These seats are great - I'm way too frugal to spend gor them during spring training. #baseball

Baseball fan. Spends too much time discussing how to fix the Colorado Rockies. Loves cats. Grows tomatoes successfully at altitude. Collects way too many things. Posts about all that and random thoughts, but mostly likes and replies to other posts.
I haven't posted a cat picture in awhile. So....here's a cat picture. #cats #catsofbsky #catsofbluesky
MLB network cut off the last inning of the AFL Fall Stars game for a show about baseball cards. The nicest thing I can say is that was certainly a choice.
Enjoying @milehicon.bsky.social . Aboit to go listen to @scalzi.com talk about himself for an hour 😁.
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 3w agoAn update from @milehicon.bsky.social: everything has been lovely so far. About to go talk about myself for an hour.

Three weeks ago this plant was pretty much dead. It's amazing how far a little water goes. I love my canna lily. #plants #flowers #ihavenoideawhattheplanttagsare
I'm first a #Rockies fan, but I follow a number of fans from my second teams. None of those teams are doing well this year, but their fans sound like it's the apocalypse. I would commit mayhem to have any one of those teams' records.
Did The Rockies Lose?@didtherockieslose.com · 2mo agoWe're not last. Ok, that's a lie. We're not last in pitching. Oh, I need to try again. How about, we got better?
Games like these make me wonder why I'm still a Rockies fan. But here I am....

I believe I am going to add "painting walls" to the list of things I am willing to pay some professional to do.
Charlie Condon. One Game. Two Grand Slams. Good #Baseball. #AlbuquerqueIsotopes
#FridayFinish This is the #crossstitch abstract landscape I've been working on in between SAL exhibits and other projects. Sometimes I just need a project like this - simple, repetitive (oy, that sky was repetitive!), and with a final product I like.
Today is Ginger Cat Appreciation Day. I appreciate ours every day. They make sure I do, even if I'm busy doing something else. They don't care. They're gingers.
No cheating. Share the last photo of the sky from your camera roll (if you feel like it)

Happy #internationalcatday! This is Puma. She is longbig. She is tallbig. She is also widebig. We are working on that. Unfortunately Puma is not interested in such things so it is not going well.
No cheating. Post your lock screen.

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a GIF. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

No matter what the Rockies do or don't do at the deadline, I am going to be SO HAPPY when MLB trade season is over. I lost interest in the incessant "will they, won't they" weeks ago.
Just watched the new heat pump which replaced the dying heat pump be craned to the roof. It is quieter. It is cooler. It is expensiver. I forgot to take pictures so imagine a large gray metal box with a fan cutout on one side hanging from a strap on a small bright red crane.
