Juno on the stairs
This is our handsome new neighbor, Juno. He has been investigating all the front and back yards on our block (causing quite a stir when our cats were having supervised time in the back yard a few weeks back!)
Last night, about 10 PM, he came up onto my porch, walked straight to a cushion on a little table at the porch's front wall (where our sweet Charlie kitty used to sit, watching the world go by), took a little bath, and then curled up for a nice nap. He slept for about a half hour. <3
I like to think the (sadly, probably apocryphal) hobo sign is right: a cat signifies that a kind woman lives here.

Interurban Electric Train Between Grand Junction and Fruita, Colorado, 1911
source: https://www.vintag.es/2022...
"Between July 14, 1910, and October 31, 1928, there was a daily electric passenger train service between Fruita and Grand Junction. Up to twelve cars were run along a sixteen-mile-long, standard-gauge rail line each way daily, at a cost of fifty cents per passenger for each one-way trip. Children using the train to and from school paid five cents for a round-trip ticket. The trip took about one hour each way, and the tracks meandered along the county roads through the orchards between the two towns, giving it the unofficial nickname, the “Zigzag Route.” Its official nickname, the “Fruit Belt Route,” was painted on the sides of the train cars. But the electric sign at the depot in Fruita just called it the “Interurban.” That’s the name that stuck.
It was operated by the Grand Junction and Grand River Valley Railway, a subsidiary of the Grand Junction Electric, Gas & Manufacturing Company. The electricity that powered the trains was transmitted by overhead electric wires supported by red-and-white poles that lined the route. One of its other purposes was to run separate flatbed rail cars during summer months to carry produce collected from farms along the route for transportation to the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad depot in Grand Junction for shipment to points east.
The fifty cent charge might seem steep for the time, but the amount of time it cut off a shopping trip to the “big city” was worth the cost for many –– at least for a while. After the “Fruita Highway” was improved in the early- and mid-1920s, automobile traffic between the towns soon made that the faster trip for those who could afford cars, and Interurban usage began to dwindle. Passenger service finally ended in 1928. Expanded truck usage cut into freight traffic as well, and that service ended in 1935. In 1936, the company was dissolved and the tracks were torn up for scrap and sent to a foundry in Pueblo."

Steve Kerr Comments on the Tragic shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
good use of a public platform as well as priorities
Well said
I mean, those people have been conclusively answering that question for years already.
Obviously, I agree with him completely, and if this moves the needle, that's great, but I don't know how it fixes the money and ideology issue :/

No frills
We talk a lot as a society about men being insecure in their masculinity. I wonder if stuff like this is a manifestation of women being insecure in their femininity.
@me3dia I guess it's possible but I think women who dress stuff up like this often genuinely enjoy it.

Laundry Time
I found this down a rabbit hole today. It started with a cow made from hanging laundry. This Russian girl was so bored as a kid she looked for lifelike forms in woodland knots and the laundry etc. As an adult she makes all kinds of art.
Raised some funds today
MOTHER: Have some more. You hardly touched anything. Did Tommy tell you about my painting? Look at this.
(Pulls out an oil painting from alongside the refrigerator.)
JIMMY: It's beautiful.
TOMMY: I like this one. One dog goes one way and the other goes the other.
MOTHER: One's going east, the other’s going west. So what?
TOMMY: And this guy's saying, "Whaddya want from me?" The guy's got a nice head of white hair. Beautiful. The dog it looks the same.

were you able to bypass the film around the scanner, or are they film-safe now?
@wjcstp they let me pass them to a TSA agent and manually inspect them, thank goodness! i got a new person who was a little bewildered by my request, but they got around the scanners okay! i just loaded a roll into the minolta now.
Bon voyage!
