I’m just some random person doing random things.
A fan of all things generally geeky. A fan of random projects, a hobbyist photographer, and a wildlife enthusiast. Anti-fascist, like all my people before me.

Breakfast is served.
It’s a bit crisp and foggy out today. Perfect for the netball tournament in three hours.

Headed back to language class after a one month break. I’m not mentally or physically prepared, but I have snacks packed. So, there’s that.

Managed to put some wayback comics into sleeves today. One day I’ll get to rereading them (mostly for the awesome adds). Sure do miss all the Casper and Richie Rich that I lost to mold a few (three or more) decades ago.

The pidgey that was stuck in the gated entrance hall of the building took a lot of gentle coaxing (and a ride while perched on my shoe) to get back through the gate and into the courtyard yesterday. Sadly the new little neighbor dog was let out and got to it last night.
Damn. Sorry, pidgey.
Damn. Sorry, pidgey.

Taking advantage of a beautiful afternoon before the heat wave.
A serene scene…just to the side of a busy jogging path, the dog park section, and hundreds of other people on the green just out of frame. Meanwhile, I’m walking loops and sweating through my shirt. Not so serene.

Getting an extra loop of walking in just getting to the park today.
Some sort of bicycle race happening… :D
I’m so uncultured. Heh.

Missed connections.
You - Medium sized 3/4 cinnamon black bear, searching for a snack.
Me - Late 40s outdoorsman and camera enthusiast, checking my trail cams.
An old, but fun series of pics on one of the CO trail cams. Much less spooky than the big cat near miss pics.

I still think it would have been more fun to pick teams from a fans in the stands lotto. Just a bunch of average people out on the field, doing their best. Imagine that becoming canon.

What’s in your bag?
Do we still do this? Well, the answer is TOO MUCH. I’m all packed for a class museum trip tomorrow morning. Camera, parasol, glasses cases, all the cool things that a cool person has…toilet paper…hand sanitizer…sunblock… ALL THE COOL THINGS!

On its last day, la canicule stared at me as it slowly disappeared, menacingly quoting Arnold in Terminator. Turns out it wasn’t bluffing. It will be back.
We have until the weekend to prepare. I have one more fan, and a huge, reflective tarp for the skylight now.

What a strange looking tree.
Friday while walking to class. The bus schedule was affected by the heat wave, so I had to hoof it to make it on time. At least most of the walk is in the shade, and the view is pretty nice too.

Free light show in Paris tonight.
It’s been nonstop like this for a bit. It feels like the heat is finally breaking too! Now if it would just rain to cool the roof off a little…

WTF Is this 109F bullshit!?! (42.8C)
A stranger at the Eiffel Tower bus stop crouched down on the ground next to me in order to get into the shade of my sunbrella. Did I just make my first friend in Paris? I hear that normally takes years to happen…

It’s 9:20pm and it has finally cooled down to 94F (34.4C). Had to get put of the superheated apartment. I opted for another amazing dinner at Bistro D’Yves and a nightcap at Le Valentin.
Not too shabby.

Timeline cleanse after the horrible raman tryout.
Homemade fettuccine alfredo with wilted spinach, sausage, and chili crisp. Easy, cheap, and has good taste - just like me. :D

Tried the top raman from one of those “chefs rate the best of ten” youtube shows. The Samyang Buldak Hot Chicken Carbonara (Yeah. I know. I know. I was surprised too) will not be added to the shopping list again. I should have known better than to stray from the beloved Shin Raman Black.

Sorry all, no more pics with the rings. You had two years to get a shot. I bet it was scheduled for removal in 2024. Just French bureaucracy in real time…
