We used to have a cardboard cutout that was printed with a gray tabby. Our cat would go on alert and puff his tail. It seemed mean to taunt him with it!

Works for me
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Just checked! I’m good
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
And it was changing every minute
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
You are a brave woman.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
It was stunning

I read AI uses 10 times the amount of energy as just reading search results.

Take some time! Sorry to hear this

The word icon is so overused nowadays. Nothing is iconic if everything is.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Good for you!

Are you getting this through prime or directly? Is that annually? We get Box thru prime at about 10 a month.

Loons are one of my favorites….

I think it is funny that it took decades for folks to see that there were more than just heads and that the rest of the bodies were buried underground.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
We head back down to Georgia in a few weeks, just like the birds!

This pic doesn’t do it justice

Once, during a drought, I got my hose going…looked up and robins were landing all over the lawn from all over the neighborhood.

I don’t know about cats, but I see several pillows

People never notice that I don’t talk much.

One of my neighbors down on the point has a lovely garden. #Newfoundland
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social)
Despite it being so dry, we have blueberries. A few raspberries too! Some rain has helped slow down the wildfires up here, thank goodness! #Newfoundland
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
I feel ya!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Same here in Newfoundland.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
It would be nice!

A bit of fall color. Grouseberry.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Poor poor animals!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Earlier this spring I spread clover over a scruffy, weedy area. When I get back in the fall, I hope it has taken over and looks good.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
This photo is so telling: the fires advancing on picturesque outports. We have smoke today…since the wind has died down.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
I hope there is such a moment, but since it hasn’t happened yet, what will it take? I am not optimistic
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
We can barely smell the smoke but my throat and sinuses sure know!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
I can empathize. Just a gray haze and we shut up the house.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
It was! A real thrill
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Exactly
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
I don’t think it’s a matter of evidence. They are just hard-headed and don’t want to accept humanities part in it.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
We have several severe fires here in Newfoundland. Hot, dry and very windy. And this used to be a cool wet place.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Ah, I remember this now, thx!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Married women or all women?

Life list! I saw a group of Ruddy turnstones down on the beach. Really striking birds! Apparently they are stopping by on their way from the Canadian arctic to Central America. It was quite a pattern of color when they took off in unison. (Photo: Audubon) #Newfoundland #birds
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Cheery!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Amoeba?
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
That would be good for a shower/tub too.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
We all wish
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Whatever it is, one day it will probably be a lovely butterfly or moth

I have to remove the p-trap under the sink to clean it out!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
I am reading An Immense World and it says these blue morphs have their ears on their wings! Crazy
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
What if your nose is running? You must be Flemish.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
I think a juvenile gull. I have been watching them everyday over our cove, so I am in the groove.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Almost 12,000 acres! I am watching the news everyday! Hope they have some luck with controlling it.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Looks like the Juno spider.

In Utah, there is a boulder covered like this called Newspaper Rock. Cool!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social)
Saturdays mean that the locals are taking their boats out to fish for cod. They bring them to the wharf and cut the fillets. The seagulls stand by for any scraps thrown their way. #Newfoundland
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Fall overs autumn color and clear weather, spring can be rainier but you might see icebergs.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Me too!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
I watch reaction videos..It amuses me when the guy will say, wow, that’s just talent! They can stand up there and play without the electronics like they use today!

A dem has a slim to none chance of winning in that district. Maybe the DNC is spending money where there is a chance of flipping
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
That district is really red, not all Georgia is.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
One nice thing about N.Ga. Is we have a long cycling season.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
He will not win in this district, he has proved it.

My days without assist are definitely over.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Goodbye quiet elegance.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
You really keep your speed up too
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Beautiful. And surprising that the sides of the wings are so different!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s a lot of ascent!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Newfoundland is thought of as cool and wet. Not so much anymore
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
AI is terrible. And this sort of thing will get worse.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social)
Another shot of the barrens. Unfortunately, climate change has hit Newfoundland and it is dry, still, and hot (for here). We are fighting forest fires and smoke. Staying indoors until that changes. #Newfoundland #Nature

I saw them in a gym at University of Georgia about this same time.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
These are already in Georgia. BTW, welcome back.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
It’s a desert oasis. Cool!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social)
We have had schools of capelin in the cove, and the seagulls have been going nuts. There have been minke whales as well, one pair I am pretty sure is a mother and offspring. You can hear them when they surface to breathe. (Not my photo, its stock) #Newfoundland #nature

Looks like a black racer. Not venomous

I have some coming up from seeds I bought about 20 years ago.

Cosmos! One of my favorites

I’m only dreaming I know.

I am aggravated when AI is not noted. And often from major sources. Just saw a pic of Taylor, Obama and Springsteen. Definitely had that overly focused look of AI.

I guess wearing 2 pairs of jeans at a time are a thing now.

I guess I am out of touch, but I don’t even know what her films are. Don’t think I am missing much.

Lucky you! I have noticed that bird info pops up on the screen while recording, which is new. Maybe it is the bird I am listening to, I’ll check… I usually just close the window.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
I love zinnias. The colors are like the ones you find in a Crayola box.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Your set up sounds a lot like mine…pedal assist, shock, upright handle bars. You are old school with the pedal style! Mine do have a heavy tire. Knowing this, I am even more impressed with your riding.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Are you riding road bikes? Mountain bikes? E-bikes?
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s some serious cycling.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Just agreeing with you about the books! Joe can do it all 😀
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
We love the box books!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
They look so soft.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
😟not good!

Went out to the barrens: lots of ponds, bogs, and erratic rocks that the glaciers left behind. #Newfoundland #nature
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Water is so soothing. And the swimming!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
It does! Love how thorny cactus put out such delicate flowers.

Lucky you!

I get messed up talking over someone, I end up with gibberish. But yes, I shouldn’t give up.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
My experience with this approach is that the other person keeps on talking over me. Even if I am determined to complete my thought, they keep going.
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
Even after all this time, I don’t know if I have the heart to watch this. What could have been!
emueller (@emueller.bsky.social) reply parent
House, purple finch are so similar. I always hope for a purple finch bc it seems more exotic.

Good eyes! I see these occasionally and the are lovely
