It seems that on the airport x-ray scanner, kulolo looks very much like explosive materials. The TSA guy had me clocked as a kulolo transporter, but they still had to pull and look inside the bag.

Local wildlife. A nene eyeing me, and a very friendly boxer getting scritches on her wiggly rump.

A brown boxer dog leaning towards a person giving scratches to her behind. Her long tail is whipping around. Hey body is curved and her head is turned behind her, toward the camera. She's enjoying it very much.

Sweating my butt off outdoors on a work trip. At least the views make up for it.

A nice plantation-style house. It is dark green with white trim. Coconut trees and red ti plants grow around the building. The sky is very blue with puffy white clouds in the distance.

Three people push a red canoe up onto the beach. A hotel and coconut trees are in the distance. The viewer is standing at waters edge as waves wash onto the beach.

It's come to my attention that October 8th is both International Lesbian Day AND World Octopus Day. So #Earpers know what that really means: it's Horny Nicole Haught Day.

Personal favorite memories:

1. @lynnrachels.bsky.social discovering that there was a live mic on the bus.

2. The Didsbury Museum ladies and their home baked goods! Such hospitality.

Got to play dress up like the Village People today, and it's not even Halloween yet!

A white hard hat with hi viz safety vest stuffed inside. The hat is on a gray carpet next to a pair of feet in black steel toe boots.

Not sure I'd try it, but I remember hearing the sound when my grandpa would eat fish eyes and the bony part rolled around in his mouth.

Frog toe probably wouldn't make it onto my plate either.
