This is Blue, of Blue's Clues. She is the dashboard mascot for our van, and this day she visited Willamette Falls at Oregon City, Oregon. A worthy visit, but study up on this extremely historic town, or it'll just seem like the worn edge of Portland.

At the oil change place, I noticed the little girl in the van ahead waving, so naturally I waved back. But I realized she was actually waving at our dash mascot, Blue of “Blue’s Clues”. This is good and expected.
Later, I parked by a beautiful floofbear. A full evening!

This guy gave me unrealistic expectations of bears, when I finally saw one in my driveway one night. It was eating the neighbors’ plums and wasn’t dancing at all.

In the Shrek universe, ok, otherwise, it’s flour, sugar and molasses* sans humanity. No more a person than a corporation is.

If, like me, your hearing isn’t great, anymore, you might be interested in learning that the FDA has approved particular air pods on a particular iOS as over the counter hearing aids. They MUST sound better than tinny, finicky rx hearing aids that cost 10x air pods. I’m checking ins - more to come!
