Day 20,190
Waiting for some tests, per standard procedure. “Rock Lobster” is playing on my headphones, and the doodle is a quick and dirty one. I may continue editing it, or I may not, but I thought it was a cute idea. (I’ve sometimes thought crayfish pincers looked like throwing horns.)

Scribbled using lock tools and a little creative mirror cloning. Shooting for someing that looks like what a person from ancient Mesoamerica might draw if they saw me coming. #doodle #aztec #cryptid
Happy Mother’s day, Pearl! I hope your litter is happy and healthy as you are. We love you!

Day 20,188
No dice seeing any more Aurora activity last night, but we did go out for an after-leftover-dinner ice cream date (I had a brownie bits Blizzard, and @maximillian_deersteak had a birthday cake-dip cone), and on the way we spotted a young raccoon considering a street crossing, but who thought better of it when it saw our headlights. Our ice cream run was rather strenuous, as the froyo joint we go to was pretty busy for Saturday night, as was blue cow. Third place was the charm, though. Thanks, Dairy Queen!
Hopefully, we will get another chance to view Aurora sometime soon… if not here, then maybe on a trip to Iceland someday? It’s already on our travel go-to list.

Day 20,186
Playing the guitar is difficult when Scotto draws you with three-fingered hands. He does all right, though, as the C, F, and G chords are easy enough for the kind of tunes he performs onstage.

Day 20,185
Today’s doodle, ripped from today’s headlines. Explains a lot, really. How lovely that someone with actual brain damage may cause people to sway the vote enough to get 45 back into office. For what it is worth, he claims a full recovery from the incident, but he also has promoted a conspiracy theory that coronavirus vaccines were developed to control people via microchips. He has endorsed the false notion that antidepressants are linked to school shootings. And he has pushed the decades-old theory that the C.I.A. killed his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy. (He also stated that wifi causes cancer and “leaky brain”, and that AIDS is not a virus, but passed by doing poppers)
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer, is a leading vaccine skeptic and purveyor of conspiracy theories who has leaned heavily on misinformation as he mounts his impossible 2024 campaign for the presidency.
In a three-part series, FactCheck.org’s science fact-checking project, SciCheck, examines the trail of false and misleading claims on health topics such as vaccines, autism, and Covid-19 made by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine advocate who is running for president

Just a caveman on a wooly mammoth. I’ve got pachyderm on the brain lately, I guess!

Painted pig looking pretty flash this week. I don’t know who zeke! is, but makes a snazzy porky.

Day 20,182
I saw a song titled “Elephantom” and thought it would make for a cute prompt idea. Maybe if I were to do another, I would do Lee Falk’s purple jungle hero as a pachyderm or the mammoth version with a half-mask at the opera?

Pearl watching Antiques Roadshow with me (and birds, and me) while we all relax in the red room on a Sunday morning.

Day 20,180 May the fourth be with you! (And happy Dave Brubeck day!) My wife and I hit the farmers’ market today. We got some spicy greens, lovely bread, bagels, and croissants from @blacksburgbagels, a chai and coffee from @roanokecoffee, and “chicken” and French toast for me, and avocado toast for her at @queensvegancafe. The big win was a cool-looking “octopus tentacle sucker”-designed cup and a tiny tasting bowl for @pearlsquirrel from @ishadevinepottery. She absolutely loves it and the tissue used to package them. (The bowl may get repurposed for rings if we can get it back from her.) #doodle #FarmersMarket #misspearl #catsofinstagram #stripedcatsofinstagram #tabbycatsofinstagram #cryptid #bread #pottery #greens #maythe4thbewithyou #davebrubecktakefive #davebrubeckday https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jab3puFf6/?igsh=MTc4YWlzcTkzbzJ1Zg==
