A ghost sign in two parts - Watertown

Galvanic Soap! I saw somewhere on the web that it was the precursor to the Palmolive company.


Scenes from Eken Park

Just a couple snaps from my walks to the bus stop this week.


Moar feline cuteness

Maisie looks like she's trying to portray a sense of dignity here despite being caught in flagrante delicto licking certain parts.


Here George looks possessed. Your mother eats kitty litter!

The cuteness overload continues unabated



Coming soon - music!

A couple shows have been announced by artists that I've been waiting to see for a while/again.


First I heard that Valerie June will be at the Stoughton Opera House in September. I've been looking forward to seeing her again ever since I attended one of her shows in 2022. When I looked at the date, I realized that I won't be able to go. Drats!

A day or two later I saw that North Mississippi All Stars will be here in the autumn.


I've never seen them live but have been wanting to for years and I got really excited before remembering that I am otherwise engaged on the day they're here at the Atwood. D'oh!

I may watch Errol Morris' latest documentary, CHAOS: The Manson Murders, tonight. I have to grill chicken first.

Just some photos of the cutest cat in Eken Park

What is that thing you are putting in my face, hooman?

It's a bit odd for me to have a cat with all of her teeth again. (Sorry, Pipe.)

My flowers aren't dead yet

My flowers are still alive!


Willow remains as cute as ever. I brought her home a week ago and she is settling in well. She's started hanging out with me in my office while I am working and hope that she'll be around during meetings soon as Piper was a Teams call star and my co-workers are anxious to see Willow.


I made hibiscus sun tea. While it's quite drinkable, I think another tea bag will be used next time.


I bought some woodruff to try and make a little Maiwein.


My ladyfriend saw these in the checkout aisle yesterday at the supermarket.


I love French onion soup so it was an auto-buy.


They were almost, but not quite entirely unlike French onion soup. Think the French onion soup mix you use for dips and then add some beef powder. The potatoes took the place of the toast on top and I didn't really catch any cheese. But they were oniony.

Canine art

Crouching Human, Sleeping Fawn

A co-worker took this photograph in rural DeForest. Mom took off when he approached and scowled from a distance.

Willow continues to be exceedingly cute

"What are you doing, hooman?"

"Look at that bird!"
