The harbingers of Spring are harbinging the heck out of the riparian buffer. #BloomScrolling
Now I need a drink, alcoholic of course, after the heavy chapters involving quantum mechanics. #PiDay
Gay cardinals. #publicArt #FallsChurch
The Internet has not let me down. Minesweepers needed in #Iran sweepthestrait.com
My friend Connor wrote a book! #Inklings #CSLewis gcsalter.wordpress.com/2026/03/1…
My dictionary says there are six German words that begin with #beige.
The forecast for today is 80°F. Thursday, snow. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ #dmv #wx
FedEx delivered my fruit-tree seedling on Sunday evening. Sub-optimal.
I’m glad somebody explained truck-packing practices to me because without that, getting this hardware in this box wouldn’t make any sense at all. #FedEx
All summer, I was gardening and mowing and weed-whacking and I never had a hint that all those #wasps were there. That’s what I call good neighbors.
The squirrels around here are a bunch of slobs. #squirrel
The CEO of #Apple has been behaving disgracefully, so it pleases me to think that I’m already doing the thing that annoys him most: I’m still using my 2012 iMac.
Despite frozen snow and sleet all around, the #taco truck on the corner is OPEN. Repeat: they are OPEN. 🌮
The town celebrated its bicentennial today, and the entire police force was at the ceremony. I’m thinking our local criminal element missed an opportunity.
Awoke this morning with terrible knowledge: You can sing “Mack the Knife” to the tune of “My Darling Clementine”, but if you do, you ruin both songs.
Despite living in the Anglosphere for three decades, my French wife did not know the word “kazoo”. So I went to the toy box and played one for her. FYI, “La Marseillaise” is a great tune to play on the #kazoo.
The grocery store gave me a coupon for fresh vegetables. 😮
Today the mailman brought a #ChristmasCard addressed to the previous owners of our house. I bought this place in 1997. I admire the sender’s perseverance.
A new year, a new observation to confirm my hypothesis that nobody has ever been woken by the sound of someone washing dishes.
A fire truck was behind the 7-11, spraying water on a dumpster that had caught fire. It’s not just a metaphor!
It’s a lot easier to mend a fence when it’s 45°F and calm, compared to last weekend when it was 19°F and the wind was gusting to 20 knots. But everyone except me already knew that.
My wife is a nutritionist, so I get to eat chocolate cake for breakfast. #vegan
2012: Wife tells me to get rid of that old table. I do not. I disassemble it and hide it in the back of a storeroom. 2025: Wife needs a table for her studio. Gives me the dimensions. Asks how much I think one will cost. I think I can get one for free. 😀
Today is the 10th anniversary of my blog, Idiosophy. 323 posts and 46,000 visits so far. Many of those visitors were humans! Here’s my favorite post, to celebrate. #Tolkien #comfrey #dogs
We have a bad mailman, but that’s sort of OK. Knocking on neighbors’ doors to give them mis-delivered letters and packages is one of the things that builds community.
