Although neither @brettbobley.bsky.social nor @jasonrhody.bsky.social figured out how to open the safe in the old ODH office, I appreciate your attempt. #ThanksBrett

Happy to live in a neighborhood where these signs pop up every once in a while.
Orange diamond-shaped sign with Artist at Work positioned in front of a truck with artists and supplies on a street in Washington, DC. The artists are painting a long mural with LGBTQ rainbow colors in honor of DC hosting World Pride.

Cranberry sauce as it is meant to be served.
A can of jellied cranberry sauce with the ridges from the can still showing perfectly uncanned in a flat soup bowl on a table.

Time for one of my favorite events at #AHA24-- the Awards Ceremony. So lovely to see folks recognized for their contributions to the field.

California sunsets FTW!
Sunset of streaks of pinks and oranges over a darkened grey silhouette of Mount St. Helena between Lake and Napa Counties. Trees and houses, some with Christmas lights, are in the foreground.

It's showtime for DC's ginkos.

DC trees seem extra gorgeous with their fall foliage. Maybe they can sense the general angst of the residents and are like, "Here...look at us and take a deep breath."
