Today, for many reasons, was a good day. Best of all was that I saw a blue-tailed skink in the wild and managed to photograph it before it ran off.
Shawnee National Forest, Illinois.

I'm at O'Hare airport today and I spotted this scene down the way a bit from my gate. There's a lot going on here. 😆

Fediverse! Recently someone on Mastadon was looking for a copy of James Doohan's book "Beam Me Up Scotty" for a podcast(?) and I cannot find the post. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

wow that's a busy weekend! We''re part of a wedding on Sunday (mother-in-law is re-marrying) and we're hosting the rehearsal dinner at our house on Saturday. So lots of cleaning, getting ready, and then more cleaning, and more getting ready!

also, are they farming cloves on top of the cemetery? I don't understand the connection between any of this and the cesium. What a confusing article.

If you find yourself in College Park GA, adjacent to the Atlanta airport, and are looking for a great spot to eat I very much recommend The Corner Grille. Cajun and Cajun-influenced food in a small location. Wonderful service and excellent food. It's a very unassuming spot but well worth a visit.
If not there then less than a mile away, for a bit of Britain in ATL, The Manchester Arms is also great, especially with their outdoor seating. I've eaten well this trip. #ATL #food #travel #work

My wife texted me this photo of a sewing machine she saw today and my first thought was "well @npub1ucv…5a8g needs to know about this right away" 😂

Visited the Shedd Aquarium on Friday for the first time in many years. The Giant Pacific Octopus was nice enough to hang out right by the front of the tank. #octopus #chicago #eye #detail #photography

it is amazing that New Orleans has received more snow than almost all of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin this season. @npub1xfv…cqs4

oh, one more dumb question. The user on BlueSky I was trying to follow has .com in their username. Would that still work with the bridge? (I'm guessing they just aren't following the bridge but maybe this is a weird edge case?)

can I ask a dumb question to see if I understand how this works? Is it possible to follow someone on BlueSky from Mastodon if they are not following the bridge account?

is it possible to reserve a space at the local library or community center?

oh no. That could be very bad.

just an FYI: the location of that particular camera is about 650 km from the eye of the hurricane.

This is a disheartening read. I don't know how indie developers are going to last on Android. It seems like maybe the plan is for them to not.

Based on the current cone of uncertainty, southern and central Illinois will see the remains of Hurricane Francine. (A tropical depression at that point).
Throwback to 2012 when the remnants of Hurricane Sandy made to Chicago.

you have better steel options with the Leatherman but at higher cost. I don't think you can go wrong with either to be honest. That said, I wish I could afford an Leatherman Arc that's for sure.
