I feel like the clown husbandry community will be sufficiently pleased to know that there is in fact a clown sea slug! Her name is the modest clown dorid, (Triopha Modesta) and she is seen here feasting on scrumptious detritus! She also eats coralline algae and bryozoans, and can lay up to 3 million eggs at a time! Hope you like her ❤️

I know this is an obvious post, but Mount Eerie "Night Palace" is just so good. Phil Elverum's return to Microphones "The Glow Part 2" epicness is not only an exhilarating listen, it's pretty fun and catchy throughout.

My favorite on first listen was "Non-Metaphorical Decolonization" which starts off like a Yo La Tengo krautrock long-player. Then it transitions into class Mount Eerie/Microphones. I've always thought that Elverum's sound and voice recall Grandaddy, The Mountain Goats and C. Strøm.

Elverum (Anacortes, Washington) has had a long career - I'm happy to see he's releasing his own work (P.W. Elverum & Sun) and reaping the just rewards of a career dedicated to making music on his own terms and timetable.

San Juan Islands Sunset by James Marvin Phelps Via Flickr: San Juan Islands Sunset Padilla Bay Washington As the sun dips below the horizon over Padilla Bay, the sky ignites in a cascade of colors, painting the heavens in vivid hues of orange. In the distance, the rugged silhouettes of the San Juan Islands rise like sentinels, their dark forms etched sharply against the radiant backdrop. Wisps of clouds drift lazily, catching the last rays of light.

Ferry to Orcas Island. This was my first time back in Anacortes since kicking off my cross-country bike trip there 17 years ago. Anacortes, WA.

Burl Ives, who many of us will remember as the silver-and-golden-voiced snowman in the 1964 TV Special “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” spent his own golden years in a waterfront home in Anacortes, WA where he passed away in 1995 at the age of 85. Ives was a late casting decision for the special by the producers, who originally intended the actor who voiced Yukon Cornelius to sing the songs. Lucky for us, a last-minute switch was made to bring in Burl, which is why Sam the Snowman is never seen interacting with the other characters because his parts were created after the rest of the scenes were mostly finished.

The show was broadcast for the first time in 1964, but it suffered from a glaring plot hole. The protagonists never made good on their promise to return to the Island of Misfit toys. This travesty did not go unnoticed as thousands of concerned citizens deluged the network with letters demanding a resolution. So, Rankin Bass created a new ending (spoiler alert!) that shows Santa flying to the island and rescuing the Misfit Toys for distribution to loving children around the world. The revised show aired the next year and every year since. In order to fit the new scene in, something had to be cut, so they nixed a segment in which explained that the object of Yukon Cornelius’ desire was actually a Peppermint Mine – which vindicates his bizarre ice-axe-licking fetish. He was tasting for peppermint and not silver and gold.

Fidalgo Artisan Yarn & Clothing

Took an impromptu trip to Anacortes today for Fidalgo Artisan Yarn’s 9th anniversary sale. 🥳 Showed off my Synaptic Wrap (knit in Brilliant Blue of their Rosario Sport), acquired yarn, bought books instead of lunch, and scampered back to San Juan Island (running only half an hour late)

Taylor Point LIghthouse provides a beacon for boaters in the shallow and rocky waters off Chuckanut Drive near Anacortes, WA . Very picturesque with the san Juan Islands looming in the background. The stone tower is only about 25' tall but highly visible to boaters. Located at the Taylor Shellfish Farms.

THESE ARE PICTURES OF THE EARTH'S MANTLE. The mantle is usually under the crust. It's usually 30 miles down. It's usually about 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. But in this park an hour's drive from my house, the edge of the tectonic plate has gotten so fucked up that the mantle is exposed! I walked on it! I touched it! I freaked out pretty hard!
