Sunset from the neighborhood today
Come for the flaming orange sky. Stay for the pixelated ferry crossing the sun streak.

I saw this today and, in a world of unnecessary snorkels, it struck me as a particularly unnecessary snorkel.

I bring it to the attention of @mtdrift.bsky.social for further commentary.

The big one was ours. The little one got loose in the neighborhood.
Two tricolor collies. One big. One small.

Might I suggest you give those people hard copies of this form to fill out and then go about your day in the real world.
A complaint form with a very tiny box to fit the complaint into. It specifies that you must write legibly.

This evenings's dog walk took me past some sort of weird car singularity.

A blue trailer fabricated out of the bed of a Datsun pickup hitched to a blue SLK 320 hardtop convertible. I apologize for image quality and lack of any additional angles. I was holding on to a cattle dog/border collie mix that did not find this scene to be of interest.

GET IN LOSER. WE'RE VAN POSTING
A silver van with a pop top parked on top of a bluff with a sunset behind it. A silver van with a pop top parked beside a frozen lake. Snow capped peaks in the background. A silver van with a pop top and a kitchen drawer extended. A black and white dog lays on the ground near it. A black and white dog sitting in tht driver's seat of a van parked on a ferry. A caption states "I'm the captain now."

America, Get Well Soon.

A message from the alleys of Seattle.
An exterior garage wall adorned with a bunch of stuff, including a sign that says "America, Get Well Soon"

Yeah.
A 1997 Saab 9000 Aero being towed away, never to return. This is what happens when neighbors back out of their driveways at top speed without looking. Of course it was their enormous pampas grass that obscured their view, but they were pissed at me for having parked on the street. It was a fun car, while it lasted.

Here's a glowing AS21 north of Dulles.

I'm still not sure what glow does for me, though.

Don't know if any other skycards players are chasing 727s, but the first new registration I've seen in months is up near Bogota right now.

Nearly. I'm betting this one is close to dead, though. Spotted uphill from town in Dawson City. It likely spent all winter parked there.
A Nissan Pathfinder in the snow. It's missing a fender, a door and various glass.

They always have some good ones. This is my current favorite.

I thought this sign did a pretty concise and accurate summary.
A billboard with the word AMERICA on it. so letters except ME are crossed out.

I had a LeClic like this one. I was worried about saving my film, so I guess I learned that you don't get the shots you don't take....

Currently the only sticker is the Parks Canada retro beaver on the back side of the rocket box. The classic Mad River Glen sticker was on display for the longest duration across two vehicles.
A stylized beaver image inside a yellow triangle. A red and white sticker that reads "MAD RIVER GLEN | SKI IT IF YOU CAN"

Hey, I've got a skycards question. On my stats page it shows I've caught one type more than it shows in the Airpedia counter. Is this true for anyone else? Is it possible I caught something that has been removed from the game? Anyone know how to figure out what that might be?
The skycards menu, showing 1342 types caught. The skycards stats page, showing 1343 types caught.

Morning Smoke Show.

While the proliferation of wildfires is bad and generally contributes to daily background stress, occasionally you wake up at the right time to catch the light show on the wall past your feet.
A rectangle of dappled orange light projected on a white wall. To be clear, this is sunrise through distant smoke and nearby branches, not a fire bearing down on me.
