I can't wait to see what she does with all the Rush catalogue, but at the moment I have Subdivisions playing in my head. Good for her! That's awesome.

Is this on your property?! If so, never mind my comment about a hawk in my yard the other day. You "win"! 😆

Something about the height of it and the proportions and angles reminds me of an attack helicopter!

If a classic silver Leica with its rounded corners is like a classic era airplane (or Naboo spaceship), this is more like an Apache! With a big round autocannon on the front. 😜

Looking forward to seeing them! I did that a few years ago at Edisto and loved it!

Read your recent article about the end of the ferry service from the US side. Sad situation. I'd love to see us keep those historical, cultural, and familial connections despite the current turbulence. I hope someone can buy it and get that boat running again!

This is now going to live rent-free in my head all day. Like an earworm.

Nothing one can do but surrender to it. No Weetabix in the house, but this is close enough... 🙂

That packaging is giving me Royal Gold Select vibes with that extra black. Also looks vaguely like Kodacolor VR 1000 packaging.

Similar experience this week. I noticed a lovely medium-sized hawk in our back yard eating something. Dunno if it got a chipmunk, rabbit, squirrel, bird or something else. I hate to think of it eating the cute chipmunks, but it's a spectacular bird doing bird things and it needs to eat too.

Missing Gloucester (Mass, US) today. Revisiting some old images. We used to visit family there for 2 decades, but they've moved on and I don't get to wander the harbor there anymore.
