Born in the States, live in New Zealand, citizen of the world who chose to spend my spare time and money travelling, until my wings were clipped by a carbon budget. Bring on electric aviation, I want to get back in the air! Meanwhile I cosplay farming.

CRISIS!!!! Observe to the right of the pots. We have resident stoats. I will have to leave the hammock.

I like this guy! The NYT is still putting out good content, it’s just their news and editorial has gone off the rails in a way that means I can no longer subscribe.

Change of season. Nice

Summer is here, swim events have started, guess it’s time to start the training!

Enjoyed some of New Zealand’s outdoor sculpture at Gibbs farm yesterday
Bernar Venet work on the ridge, unimpressed Canadian goose on the pond, the massive bending steel structure reflected in the pond A scene of several sculptures across the green sloping valley: One of my favourite, Andrew Roger’s Sentinels stand on the left, Richard Thomason’s untitled Red and black squares in the middle and Gerry Judah’s Jacob’s ladder perched away on the horizon. Close up on the space between steel plates on Richard Serrre’s Contour sculpture Danielle and her mother Gail in front of a landscape of green grass, blue sky and puffy white clouds severed across the middle by a wall of rusted red steel

New Zealand public health system deserves more, the New Zealand public deserves better.
Image states I support striking health workers. Stand together for health

Toes are weird when you look at them for too long.
Three right feet with toenails on each painted a different colour: one foot’s nails are red, another orange, the last one pink. Toes are all unique, bendy or rounded, shaped a bit funny depending on the foot

Yes that’s how long it takes for me to go from plan to action, got the Covid vax today, a Saturday, having started talking about it last Monday.

Maybe trump is just a LLM that wants desperately to be loved?
NYT headline declaring that trump shifted his stance on Russia after talking to Zelenskyy

Seen in New Zealand: Liberty! Beers! Guns! Trump! 1776 and WE THE PEOPLE!
All plastered on this ute, with silver ball’s hanging below the towbar, and I have to admire the pragmatism: he may luv ‘Murika a whole lot, but not quite enough to divert him from driving a reliable Toyota Hilux. 🤭tee hee
Back end of a white Toyota hilux with New Zealand plates and car decals that declare Liberty Beer Guns Trump 1776 and We the People, perhaps unironically, given the metal material shaped like a scrotum dangling below the towbar

Parkrun Cornwall Park auckland, June. Because I didn’t capture the Hamilton Lake run this week, but it was still fun and worth getting up for

Yeah woke up at 6am on a Saturday because someone is dragging me to the parkrun. Easy for the urban folks! Parkrun isn’t around every corner when you’re rural based.

Never heard of them. Submit perhaps they are only world famous in Halifax. Like our L&P soda drink here in NZ:

Come walk the TA trail in the King Country, we’re improving it!
Soft earth trail through the bush, if only I had recorded the birds Work ute parked in a nearby paddock, easy trail miles though here, you can look up and around Danielle at the satisfying task of screwing treads down on the new bridge Design innovation of zig zag pieces on the bridge structure to improve lateral stability, on which the guys are hard at work

Did some trail work on the Te Araroa trail near us last week. Trying to juggle the schedule to fit some more in to this week too.
Swinging my red band boots from the bridge being built by the Mangaoweka River, which is high and brown due to recent rains Another trail volunteer and maintenance coordinator hydrating before we return to pounding those wooden posts into the earth with that two man metal post pounder. Hard work!

And finally I am blunt and get an apology for confusion, when what I’d like is an explanation for the bald faced lie!

So I try again and it persists with the two inconsistent answers…

Ffs AI can’t even be trusted to do basic stuff correctly. It’s given me an answer that is different to its breakdown of how to calculate the answer. Why can’t it at least check for consistency in response text?
Screenshot of AI response to the query how many days between April 11 and July 17 2025, which disagrees with itself, claiming 67 days (incorrect) was the gap but then providing a breakdown of the calculation which added up to 97, the correct answer. (Screenshot may not have captured the final value of the breakdown but it does show components that add to more than 67)

Low original content ratio? Ok, here’s something original! Check out the bot detector for Bluesky, I passed, mostly

Happy solstice to all! I started the day at the beach, in the water, and finished at the farm, trying to walk stubborn cows through the yards when a double rainbow showed up! With rain, so Rick was not entirely impressed.

Nice things recently found at the beach
Sand dollar heaven! Lots of sand dollar shells sitting on the sand with little waves way off in the background Someone made a shark out of driftwood and shells for the teeth and eyes, it’s great art Whakaari, or White Island, blowing steam off on the horizon, behind some torch flowers in the foreground Early orange sunrise over the water with the dark outline of palm branches

Little joy from my morning for y’all…
