Annoyingly, I’m behind on my Youtube video subscriptions or I would have provided this as an appropriate interlude in a more timely fashion:

“Do a job right the first time and you’ll never have to do it again.”
I think my dad was wrong about so, so many things…

After living for years in a place where shovelling snow was a regular chore for any home owner for months every year, I resolved to never buy property in such a cold region.

Today, I took a far longer walk during lunchbreak than I thought I would. It was lovely despite the rain. The Obstwiesen are in full bloom now

Eclipse totality in Little Rock Arkansas was amazing. No way any of the photos I got can capture it.
Very happy the weather treated us well for it here.

I thought there was a big scare about there being no way to distinguish actually functional eclipse glasses from fake ones, but lots of people seem to be confidently staring at the sun?

Kind of, but V’s school had already taught the fourth graders at least to check the ISO info.

I went back to Brighton (where I grew up) for a nostalgia visit. The Pavilion is still BONKERS.
I went into the Odeon where I’m fairly sure I saw Return of the Jedi in 1983/4.
Also went to the “Booth Museum” named after a guy called Booth in the 1800s who hunted and collected birds so much he flunked out of University and his wife made him move all the cases out of the house, so he started a museum. First time I was there was in 1980, last time was probably a school art class in 1991-ish where I was strictly only trying to hang around girls.
I saw the house I lived in from the age of 4-13 or so, which was the main goal of the trip.
Went to “Snoopers Paradise” which is a giant warehouse of antiques and random stuff.

Went for a walk in one of my favourite local woods, only to find it closed for forestry. So drove down a fine hill (that’s Oxfordshire that is).
and went for a walk in a different wood.

Another walk in the woods. (Different woods.)
What cathedrals want to be when they grow up.
Also it turns out High Wycombe has a games shop. But mostly it’s for miniatures and painting supplies, with some tables you can rent to play on but no games library. Only a small nod to boardgames.

Yesterday we visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Highly recommended if you like a nice amble and some art of varying weirdness.

A different wood today. Many bluebells.
The memorial is for LW579, a Handley-Page Halifax that crashed on its way back from Nuremberg in 1944 with the loss of all crew. Nobody knows why, or even why it was there rather than en route to its base in Yorkshire.

This lunchtime I went for a walk in Crystal Palace Park, which strikes me as one of the sadder-looking London parks. Probably because the palace burned down in 1936…

I just moved to Crystal Palace before Christmas! My partner loves the Lumpy Victorian Dinosaurs statues for some reason.

In Chicago, we don’t have manny foxes, but we’ve got coyotes.
My first encounter with one was walking home one evening. We were walking perpendicular to each other towards the corner of a hedge. We arrived at about the same moment. I had a series of thoughts:
Some asshole is walking their dog w/o a leash
Oh, it’s human is missing
Oh, that’s not a dog
It just looked at me, turned, walked to the curb, carefully looked both ways, and trotted across the street.
