Pulled these out of one of my tomato container garden.
You’re a fun guy.
These signs are reportedly easy to hack if they are not padlocked.
Got behind on the human sacrifices this year, did you?
As I was taking my wife to work, we saw this RV at a 7-Eleven near our house. When I was returning home I stopped to take a few photos.
I don’t know if it was fireworks related – they were still setting off some huge ones very close by last night – arson based on the nearby gas can, or just one of those things.
I thought it was interesting that there was no sign of a police presence at the scene. I wanted to take more photos, but I figured it would be best to not linger. And it smelled pretty bad.
I have my patio door open now, and I can smell it from here.
I so desperately wanted to get a cup - but I didn’t have a ticket and wasn’t allowed on the platform.
Did you see Walter anywhere nearby?
My thought exactly!
Too much damage all over for it to be a firework. That was a chemical blast from inside, or else arson.

Liberty Bell of the West, Kaskaskia, IL
Kaskaskia is pretty much a ghost town. It’s a small piece of Illinois (corn fields, mostly) that got stranded on the Missouri side when the river changed channels.
Kaskaskia has an interesting and complex history. Founded around 1700 (very old, by US standards), it had as many as 7,000 people by the late 1700s. It was capital of the Illinois territory, and was the first state capital of Illinois, from 1818-1819. The flood that moved the river destroyed the city in 1881. Current population: 14.
We spent our first weekend away since lockdown in the Dandenong ranges, which are almost certainly the most ■■■■■ part of Melbourne, hence the Turkey Tail mushrooms.
