I didn't take my camera/phone out back in my yard, for morning coffee. Had I, there would have been a portrait of my local hummingbird, dwarfed by the clothes pins on the line. Instead, a second after I regretted this, they flew down, and right into the claws of my neighbor cat who took him in one bite. I was there though and pulled them out, but they were dying, one wing mangled, and way too many little feathers spread in my hand. They feed on the blooming pomegranate tree, and then right in front of me, at my table, on the red geranium.

I was going to put them in the geranium pot, but they held onto my finger, and so I held them with their heart beating, beating, beating, for some minutes, then with one last gesture they lifted back their head, revealing their jewelled throat, raised their good wing as if in memory of flight, then passed. So, they lie under sycamore bark at the base of my cactus, which recently bloomed, and, I wished them joy and release into the universe. I will miss them hovering nearby, in my mornings.

"A columnist for the deluxe corsetier’s magazine Les Dessous Elégance, the French doctor was responding to a nineteenth-century backlash against bound support, the most extreme elements of which castigated women seeking a 'wisp waist' as criminals with perverted taste, who intentionally harmed their childbearing abilities for the sake of vanity."

BYE CLATE

a very old pickup truck drives down a rural street with a coffin wrapped in a flag in the back. There is a banner on the truck in red white and blue which says "Bye Clate" on it.

Was sitting out on my porch reading yesterday when I heard a lot of honking. This is unusual. Then a LOT of cars and trucks came by including this one. This was Clayton Butterfield's truck. That's Clayton in the back. He passed away on Tuesday after a long life of incredible community service. He and his wife ran a free medical supply lending library out of his barn. He picked up trash for neighbors and took it to the transfer station. He was an all around great guy. RIP Clate, they do not make them like you anymore.

From the Herald article:
Over the years, many people have tried to buy the truck, but Clayton refuses to part with it. “I told the undertaker, I’m going to my grave in the back of that truck,” he said. “So I gotta keep it till after I die.”

That’s amazing.

Atomic Pinball Arcade

Wide-angle view of the main game room at Atomic Pinball Lounge, Wood River, Illinois
Located about thirty minutes North of STL, just across the Mississippi in a little industrial city called Wood River, Illinois. In addition to this room they have a medium one with more pinball tables, and then two smaller rooms with skee-ball and arcade cabinets.

I played probably 30 or so tables total in the three and half hours spent there yesterday afternoon, mostly Medieval Madness, Attack From Mars, and the new-ish Stern Evil Dead, which is a fun table.

If you squint real hard you can see my good buddy Gomez who built an extra hangout day into a trip up from Dallas to pick up his kiddo from a grandparent visit. Was great to see him.

That's going to leave a (den) mark

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation. Almost everything will become more expensive in both Europe and the USA, and we will all be worse off. The economic illiteracy in the White House is doing serious damage to the West."

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about.

In fact I know you do."

Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

A humanoid figure with a bull's head stands on the end of a set of square stones floating in a blue sky. The stones are gray and beveled, and look like those from a Nintendo game. They are covered with grime and lichen, and have greenish moss hanging off them. In front of the bull, suspended from strings, are a white cartoonish cloud with sharply defined round edges, and a small green sign with "Goal" written on it in yellow letters. The painting is signed "Chris Silverman".

We’re going hiking up in the Sierras in a few weeks (Rock Creek Lake, above Tom’s Place), and the boots are to protect her feet. Last year while hiking at the same place, the granite cut up her feet pretty bad. This is the solution.

She took to them without much resistance and they seem to work. She was on the top of her toes for the whole hike this morning, when usually she shows some fatigue. I’m sad that maybe that fatigue was avoidable paw pain.

About a mile in I think she figured out the boots kept her safe from stickers and gave her some extra courage when tromping through dead brambles.
