In the early glow of the morning Sun Teddy drew closer to this yellow flower. It might have been the first orchid that Teddy ever found that wasn’t in a pot. Have you found an orchid outside of a supermarket aisle before? i.e in nature?

Glad to be back home.

When I was in college, I let German tourists take pictures with me in my graduation gown. Even at the time I thought it was weird. But since my college years, I haven’t allowed strangers to take pics of me “just because” here or abroad. “Curiosity” means very little to me. People on the clock app were saying in China they actually have been known to post pics of Black people on WeChat to make fun of them. So, maybe not the best idea to let strangers take pics of/with you. Anyway, I wish you all safe, joyous, and comfortable travels. You deserve to see the world in peace just like anyone else.

Lalalalala stuck in Vienna (a city I love) for 14 more hours than planned, in a serviceable hotel near the hauptbahnhof, which means no charming old world cafes nearby for dinner and a 25 minute walk to the dispensary for pain relief for my wife, whose Rxs are ready to pick up back home. And we leave for the airport too early to enjoy the hotel frühstuck or even a coffee from nearby. The wurstelstand is great but the guy forgot to put my pretzel in the bag.

And tomorrow we find out if they let me bring the wine I bought at duty free 15 minutes before they announced our flight was canceled back through security!

Teddy dared to get close to these red flowers, taking a chance as they looked like they could be a Crown of Thorns. He was hopeful that in reality they were the thorn-less variety and wouldn’t poke his little nose as he tried to steal a sniff. Either they smelled great or he didn’t get poked because Teddy didn’t complain and instead had a smile on his lips.

A Walk Under Moody Skies

A fond look back at traipsing thru the Wicklow Mountains in Co Wicklow Ireland.

We were in Ireland late last year, and early on in our two weeks across the pond we had a chance to spend time with family down in County Wicklow just south of Dublin.

My wife and I spent a day exploring about the Wicklow Mountains between Glendalough and Lough Tay, and had a ton of fun out in nature doing so.

Let's go exploring, international edition.

Went out for some drinks last night 🍻

the salesmen

Loss of rage red in Weatherbee's face. They add a hyphen so "bikini clad" becomes one word. "Ol' Buddy" to "Our buddy" is curious, though I am more wondering what business "Ali Ben Oilrich" is in.

Iceland Recs!

I’m currently planning a 2 week trip around Iceland for next year! Planning to go around the spring equinox and would LOVE recommendations! Open to anything and everything! TIA!

Menzies suggests that despite losing a ship in San Francisco Bay, Zhou persevered, putting in on the Mexican coast and getting all the way to Peru before picking up winds to head back across the Pacific.
