Enjoy a lovely afternoon by a pond under a blue sky with puffy white clouds. A Western Grebe is peeping, a hidden Sora is laughing, and American Coots are honking

View along the edge of a narrow two-track dirt road that runs along the shore of a small pond surrounded by tall grass and reeds with clumps of sage brush and small trees scattered around. The blue sky above is filled with thick cotton ball puffs of white clouds brightly lit from the sunlight above them.

Neighbors doing simple, effective work here.

I also like Smarties and hate a Necco! They're texturally distinct to me in a way that makes all the difference!

Bit-O-Honeys rock socks. And those peanut butter taffies with the dusty pb center? Love those, too.

I also like black licorice.

A Halloween story from Bernd Heinrich's book Mind of the Raven:

According to Heinrich, there are many accounts of hikers hearing loud raven calls, turning around, and seeing a bear.

The hikers often feel grateful to the raven for warning them of the bear's presence.

I've really liked the spin you've put on them - particular to you, but makes sense as far as their usual interpretations. Plus the colors are choice.

Brandon's Tarotober drawings have been so good.

Brandon "Tunnel Ignus" Kirkman @kirkmanbrandon.bsky.social · Oct 31

Happy Halloween, it's my last Tarotober and I drew a Reverse Page of Pentacles. The Reverse page can represent decay so I went with the imagery of a writhing mass of inky blackness and teeth to close out the month. I really enjoyed these Tarot card drawings and I hope you did as well

@pdynowski.bsky.social described this exact series (ROX-WSOX) as "pervert baseball for baseball perverts".

Cooper Lund @cooperlund.online · Oct 31

So here’s the problem - baseball goes out on a high with the World Series and it makes you miss it. They should follow that up with a three game series between the White Sox and the Rockies so we can say we’ve had our fill

This is also a big part of what makes Taskmaster sing. Editors! Let them help you!

I feel like it’s worth acknowledging that a huge part of what makes Billy on the Street funny is that whoever edits it has an exquisite sense of timing.

A Triscuit, a slice of extra-sharp Tillamook, a couple-three dots of El Yucateco habanera verde: perfect nibbles.

Um, maybe because he knows what time it is?
