Behold my reading glasses, discovered during an archeological excursion I like to call, "housework". I could not find a single one of those last week when I needed them!

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

This morning in the garden. Every plant is having a second act this year. The purple clematis peaked and died, then grew and bloomed again. Not complaining.

If only we could stay longer.

Fuckin hell, man. Hiked the whole King Mountain / Elk Mountain trail. Took all day. Brutal, brutal trail. Lots of places you could skid off and down the slope. With @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social, who soldiered on despite some painful yellow jacket stings. Hardest trail I've ever done.

Kings Mountain / Elk Mountain hike, Oregon, with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social was intense. A lot of scrambling and up and downs. Beautiful views, but very tough. Really some moments that felt dangerous.

Elk Mountain - King's Mountain Loop on AllTrails www.alltrails.com/trail/us/ore.... My hike today was equal parts harrowing and gorgeous. Anytime you feel compelled to position your body such that if your partner slips you'll break his fall and he won't go sailing off the cliff - that a hard hike.

Beautiful Squirrely Gurl, ready to snuggle and tell stories.

Its a good day for the coast.

I can't believe that there is no capybara emoji. This is some bullshit!

OMG! Incredible!

What a great story!

This is my friend, Squirrely Girl. She like to sploot.

Gift link. This analysis of a Frost poem is cleverly presented and thoughtfully considered. It was nice to bend my brain in a different direction for a few minutes. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Weather like we've had this week, if there was a Sonic in Portland I'd be there everyday for a cherry limeade.

It's getting real in the Freddy's parking lot.

I'll take one of each.

The hike with @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social to McNeil Point near Mount Hood was replete with stunning moments. 1/3

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

Just ordered from @powells.bsky.social online.

Weapons felt like a perfect horror movie, not because of the premise, but the immaculate and unusual execution. Wonderfully written, cast, shot, and structured, the movie also has a wild streak of dark humor that escalates as the horror escalates, helping the film immeasurably. Go in knowing nothing
