2/11/23: kids riding bikes

Year-round I see kids riding bikes at Lake Artemesia and today didn’t disappoint.

I used my phone’s photo app to remove all traces of the little girl’s face. Even I’m a little disturbed. [emoji23]

2/10/23: wild card

On this day in 1996, Garry Kasparov began a 6-round chess match against Deep Blue.

Now… Is my bike or George playing the role of Deep Blue?

2/9/23: the Simpsons

Paul McCartney agreed to be on the Simpsons as long as Lisa Simpson would remain a vegetarian for the remainder of the run. I think Lisa would enjoy eating at Gangster Vegan.

2/7/23: Beatles

As it happens the Beatles song “A Day in the Life” has sounds in the track that can’t be heard by humans, but can be heard by dogs! Read about it here: https://www.dogtagart.com/blog/best-beatles-song-dogs

This dog looks excited to hear the song.

2/4/23: Barbie

It occurred to me… If Barbie had a dream bakery, it would be a pink castle. AND it would be right next to the meadery owned by Ken.

Nice shot, but I don’t think that’s actually a pileated woodpecker. They really do look like Woody Woodpecker. We used to have them all around and ON our house. Then we got Hardie Board siding. They still occasionally show up at our suet feeder but they’re so big they can’t bend over enough to eat much while they’re hanging on. It’s pretty entertaining.

Oh!! You’re right. I was too hasty in my classification. I believe that’s a red-bellied woodpecker. Will edit!

2/3/23: Feed the Birds

Well, I heard, actually, that Mary Poppins’s umbrella flight was grounded today due to the wind. Luckily birds such as this red-bellied woodpecker are able to find their meal elsewhere.

2/2/23: Groundhogs Day

I had a few different ideas for this day. None of them seemed too exciting. Then George volunteered to reenact a groundhog popping out of its hole and seeing its shadow. [emoji1787]

Beware of the snails near a local playground lest they eat you, too… They’re huge!!
