I nabbed these when we were shopping yesterday. I love them on toast, topped with cheese and a fried egg. =9

They were one of the two unplanned purchases we made.

The main purpose of our trip was to buy some beef short ribs for tonight. Instead, we came home with a ham big enough to feed four.

Somebody on Reddit said, "Hey, there's aurora happening."

So we went outside for a look. Yup.

This is what the Dems were fighting for before a group of them decided to roll over and surrender for nothing.

This feels like the reverse of those "find all of the left butt cheeks in this picture" puzzles that sites will use to weed out AI bots.

In this case, only an AI can actually see the picture to unscramble. Us poor humans are left going, "But ... there's no picture!"

I can strike another place off the list of places where I've tried the poutine.

The soup turned out good. Here it is topped with sour cream, and a cat for scale.

Winnipeg's airport has been struggling due to a shortage of air traffic controllers.

Meanwhile...

After much debate, and butting up against restricted names, I finally settled on making a Worgen priest named Dawgma for Legion Reboot.

I found a really useful table of ratios on a web site many years ago. The site has since disappeared, but I got my hands on an nth generation copy of the jpeg.

I took that and recreated the table - cleaning it up a bit - and adding a couple of my own notes. Couldn't link to the original, obviously.

Another from the same batch.

I was looking for a specific picture this evening, and as I was digging through various folders, it occurred to me that I have scores of photos on my computer that have - and likely never will - be seen by anyone by me.

This is one I'd never got around to sharing earlier, for instance.

I made sauerkraut soup to use up the last of our Kobassa and bacon. I mixed things up a bit from the last time I made this by adding some carrots and an apple to inject some sweetness.

The red bit in the bowl is a whole fish pepper from the garden.

It's delicious.

A couple more random pictures from Nuit Blanche.

Some random pictures I took while we walked around the Nuit Blanche venues.

We took in Nuit Blanch.

Thank goodness they insist on shoehorning AI answers into the top of search engine results. It serves as a good reminder not to trust much of the slop they churn out.

Time to build a few more data centres, eh?

This is what they are replacing actual humans with, folks.

Those, uh, terrorist Doritos crumbs on the bed are a dead giveaway.

As a cat owner, you read it and then slowly nod.

Snek.

(Not pictured here: many, many more snakes. We were up at the snake pits.)

And here is a less blurry shot. I like the pose in the first one, but the head was partly obscured by the chain link.

Smile, big guy.
