I just saw a 6'3 maybe early 30s burly guy with the biggest beard wearing a Bluey print Hawaiian shirt. What a king.

Day 319

Sometimes when you take a trip out into the world you see weird shit. And with today’s technology you can now take pictures of said weird shit. As long as it isn’t a person, you should never take a picture of a stranger and post it.

Objects though, are fine.

For example, today I saw something on a car while riding the bus. At first, I wasn't sure what I was seeing. At the time, I had come to the conclusion that some artistic individual had mounted a ball-jointed doll to the top side of their car, dressed as a perriot. Complete with those round bonnet hats and puffy sleeves.

In part because it looked like it had ball joints and it was on the big side. It looked like it was sitting on the car with one knee up and the other dangling over the edge of the car roof. Which I know from that description sounds like a big doll, but traditional ball jointed dolls are not Barbie sized dolls, they actually can sit comfortably (ish) on one’s arm. I had seen a few on ren fairies in the past.

@wereah used to be really into ball jointed dolls, so I thought she would get a kick out of it and took a picture. Later, while i was sitting in a cafe for a bite to eat before food shopping I decided to take a better look at the picture.

To say the least, it was not a ball jointed doll. It was not even one doll.

It was Buzz and Woody hanging on for dear life on top of a car roof. It was hilarious and clearly someone had a sense of humor.

(I also suspect that the rocket on the car window is a Pizza Planet logo.)

What I saw today

Suburban semi-disaster:

See the guy in the sycamore -- with a chainsaw -- cutting down all the leafy branches. See, he’s already finished one of the trees. 

I asked his partner who was stacking the debris if they were taking down the whole tree. No, he said, just the leaves. 

There’s nothing wrong with the trees; they’re not dead; they were healthy, drought tolerant, making oxygen, providing lovely shade in a hot climate ... 

Goddamn selfish homeowners who have money to pay tree service to do disastrous things to their trees. 

End sorrowful rant.

Devastating! Art museum gift shop doesn’t sell prints of specific and unpopular painting that struck a cord with you!

a lot of the popular "queerbait" ships are just "these two characters are friends / they stood close together once" but every once in a while i'll stumble into an unfamiliar ship tag and see shit like "in episode 169 Scrungko gives Blorbis multiple prostate orgasms with an anal vibrator while pretending to date him" and like. idk what the hell is going on there. but if it's not queerbait then they just invented something even more insane. maybe y'all are right sometimes.

What I saw today

Something gross.

Photo is below the read-more line because it's gross.

My compelling hobby is adventurous hiking for geocache searches.

Geocaching is a free outdoor game, which for folks like me is motivation to hike further, climb harder, and get into hopefully-not-too-serious trouble. We're never going to attempt Everest, but we can attempt the rocky little outcrop at the top of a county park ...

Because we hide our game away from the wandering eyes of all the rest of you folks who aren't playing the game, the cache containers are usually not reachable while standing on a trail.

Today's prize was only a dozen feet from trail, but through impenetrable interlaced branches of coastal scrub. Good for Coyote, not so good for me.

I didn't even notice I'd been hurt until I turned to fight my way back out of the thicket. I looked down. I took a photo.

Still don't feel any pain -- and it was worth it anyway.

But a surprising amount of blood. Don't "keep reading" if ugly bloody arm will gross you out.

It's a happy memory.

That's why I'm keeping it.

Sorry, the next one will be more conventionally happy, I promise.
