Shed puppy came out this afternoon to enjoy some peanuts I left for the crows.
A picture of a raccoon sitting out by my shed next to a patch of sweet alyssum. It is looking toward the camera as it surveys a buffet of peanuts on the ground.

Could this signal the beginning of The Great Reviewer Revolt (GRR or TGRR)?

Because there was only one "win" in all this.

I voted.

Those are The Pleiades.
A circular "No Bull I Voted" sticker. The center shows the Durham Bull looking over his shoulder with The Pleiades shining above against a dark blue background. No Bull is white font and red background across the top and I Voted in white font and yellow background across the bottom.

When I miss eating meat, it's this.
A cheeseburger with extra pickles. I am lifting up the bun and there are about 50 dill pickle slices on my burger.

So much for my travel plans.
Lyrics translated as: I head that again they are calling salads without sense. Maybe I seem confused, who knows, but it's not like that. I no longer know what to do with salads without wisdom. They call again. Goodbye.

It is known.
A linear graph. Old is at the top and Young at the bottom of the Y axis, which is titled, "People Who Are One Year Older Than Me." 0 is at the left and 100 at the right of the X axis, which is titled, "My Age." A straight line runs from the top left corner to the bottom right corner.

Wandering around the neighborhood tonight.
A large buck licking its chops after easting some bird seed. Looks like a 10-point? I don't have my glasses.

Think Back To Your Childhood. Do you remember when your anxiety started?

I planted a lot of parsley last year and have an abundance of swallowtail butterflies this year. The zinnias have been very popular with all the pollinators.
A black swallowtail butterfly with black wings flecked with blue, yellow, and orange sits on a vivid fuchsia zinnia. This is a side view of the butterfly, and it has its wings partially closed but the markings are visible. The zinnia leaves are lush green. There is a striped rock sitting below the flower head, and tendrils of decorative grass enter the frame at the bottom left.

Front page of The Charlotte Observer with "Nixon Resigns" in large type across the top. The faded paper is sitting on an old brown leather couch. It was found among the belongings of an old sailor who passed in the before times.

Never fails. I put on an audiobook, and they come to listen.

Love this! Reminded me of the Durham Disco Ball Bull that wandered around back in 2014.
A mirror-covered disco ball bull grazing in the green grass on a sunny day outside of Southpoint Mall. Taken in the before times (circa 2014).

Not today, Satan.
With this in mind, we at Science and Medical Writers (SMW) have assembled volunteer scientists, a panel of senior life-science researchers who served in the study sections and editorial boards of international journals in the past. They can read your grant proposals and manuscripts, assess their strengths and weaknesses, make suggestions to improve, and rewrite them as their own with your input. The experience will be like virtual peer-reviewing, receiving friendly suggestions and criticisms, editing, and rewriting to make it outstanding. If you or any of your colleagues need such help, you can find details on our website—most of the information you need is provided on the home page itself. PS: Our fee is $2,890/10,000 words (e.g., an NIH R01 grant is usually about 9,000+ words in 12 to 15 pages, and the total cost would be around $2,500). We accept all major credit cards, but no checks or POs. We are not set up as a profit-making business, so we neither use POs nor have the staff to get us on the vendors' list of your institution. First of all, let me congratulate you on your grant-writing skills and manuscript preparation. With your hard work and excellent scientific findings, you have secured federal grants and published in high-impact international journals.  Yet, the federal funding is getting tighter and tighter as the federal government is recklessly taking away money from prime scientific research. Now, everyone must work extra hard to keep their scientific program going. Even a mild hiccup by one reviewer at the study section could prove to be a death knell by keeping the score of your grant away from the payline. At this critical juncture, putting in air-tight grant proposals is paramount to keep your scientific program and career alive. Any researcher would welcome the idea of another peer critically evaluating their grants and manuscripts and providing valuable feedback and new ideas.
