Unfortunate name for a children’s juice, I’d say: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiamine_deficiency
“What should we name our store?”
“Just be descriptive of what you sell.”
Sesame Park doesn’t allow you to bring a Leatherman into the park, but they don’t mind me walking around with these Howitzers?!
Clearly security theatre…
Not a bird, but when I was chasing down the Pileated Woodpecker, I came across this very sleepy squirrel and had to take a photo.
This was right around noon, so I’m guessing he had a big lunch…
I also found this male and female Eastern Bluebird pair hanging around by a nest near the river.
I have no idea if it’s accurate, but in my head they are a breeding pair guarding or establishing a nesting location (though maybe they tried it out in college and it didn’t work out, so now they’re “just friends”).
I also got my first picture of a Pileated Woodpecker just the other day — then I saw two more directly in my back yard this morning!
They are surprisingly big…
The goldfinches in my area seem to be right behind them. Here’s a picture of a goldfinch 11 days ago, and another goldfinch yesterday: he’s molting!
Looks like the birds got the message that it’s spring! It seems these red-winged blackbirds are back and in full breeding plumage.
Whenever I drain the bath lately, my son has been saying, “I wish I could go down the drain.” I was confused as to why he would want this, but then I realized, he’s mimicking Daniel Tiger — apparently he saw this, but missed that Daniel was afraid of going down the drain.😅
Lessons learned from the “eating Tide Pods” meme: people love it when you blur the lines between soap and food.
We legitimately could not tell whether this is something edible. The front side of the label says “Yummmers”, but the container doesn’t have a tamper-evident seal, and there are no nutrition facts anywhere…
“So you are saying I need to eat… more calories than I burn?”
“Yes, if you want to make gains, you’ll need enough energy and protein to build muscle.”
TFW your main experience with “getting in shape” is weight loss and you finally reach the point where you are supposed to increase calories to gain muscle:
