Just an unaltered phone snap while on a walk on a foggy morning on the Outer Banks. But, I like it

It was a super foggy morning in the marsh and I was able to sneak up on this otter... who looked a lot like a bear when I zoomed in on my phone!

One of the nest builders: taking a break from flying in sticks from 1/2 mile away and dropping them on the ground as the base of the nest tree

I watched a pair of ospreys get to work building a nest. Great progress in the first few hours. But, this is early on day 3 and many of the sticks they flew in litter the ground below.

No idea why that makes me think of my 401(k) rn...

Oh, I think we should get ready for a long series of national embarrassments...
America’s allies should be deeply concerned about Pete Hegseth’s confirmation hearing, Tom Nichols writes in The Atlantic Daily. “America’s enemies, meanwhile, are almost certainly laughing in amazement at their unexpected good fortune.”
The Hegseth Hearing Was a National Embarrassment
America’s allies and enemies watched as Trump’s pick for the secretary of defense failed to quell concerns about his character and qualifications.

Artist in Residence. Yellow Bellied, because all but one woodpecker variety in NC is a redhead of some sort. Curiously, if you have a woodpecker in NC with no red on its head, you know how many toes it has.

Truth is a very small subset of information and is an early victim in the information age. Fascinating interview with Harari

I went to the store to pick up some vegetables to roast for dinner. There's now a pizza in my oven. That's kind of the same thing, right?

My audience this morning. I was pronouncer today for a middle school spelling bee. We ran out of words, and began using things that I'm pretty sure aren't real words. The kids still spelled them right. It was pretty amazing.

Dad shot zillions of slides from the 1940s to the 2010s. I am slowly digitizing some of them. Here is big bro @farflungheel.bsky.social on a car ride at Tweetsie Railroad in the late 60s.
