Something whimsical was lost when we stopped making signs like this.

My e-bike just shipped and I am PUMPED.

Chris Chancellor @chancellor.social · 6d

I unironically love getting notifications from the library that a book I put on hold months ago (and subsequently forgot about) is ready for pickup. It's like a gift from my past self!

Your post pushed me over the line toward purchasing an e-bike. I was already considering one but couldn’t quite convince myself to spend the money. I do miss the feeling I got from my Honda PCX, though, and I’m looking forward to chasing that feeling again!

Interesting, I just got an unprompted email requesting that I reset my MLB.com account "to keep [my] account secure." It's not an issue of password strength/reuse, and they haven't previously had a policy of timed password expiry. The email is legit.

Security incident?

Butterflies weren’t the only ones enjoying the butterfly garden at the Dillon Nature Center today; there were also lots of Common Eastern Bumble Bees! The number of pollinators we saw doing their thing was simply delightful.

Monarch butterflies were everywhere in Hutchinson, Kansas this weekend! We visited the Dillon Nature Center earlier today and were delighted at how many we saw enjoying the butterfly garden.

I saw this little fella at the Hutchinson Zoo yesterday. A yellow-shouldered drone fly was busily pollinating this Lindheimer’s beeblossom.

A yellow-shouldered drone fly, named because it resembles a honeybee drone, is landed on a beautiful pink flower and is busily pollinating it. Pink flowers just like it dot the background throughout.

I just found a tandem bike on Craigslist.

I am about to purchase said tandem bike on Craigslist.

My wife and I are going to look so dorky on our tandem bike and I CANNOT WAIT.

The color television really sells it for me.
