Extra people on this afternoon’s video school call = extra time making sure everyone is actually ON the video school call.
Kind of hilarious, actually.

I’ve found that I prefer dark mode on small screens and light mode on big screens. And I appreciate apps that are willing to just pick up the system setting for dark vs. light.
(Flashbacks to running Windows 95 with a slightly off-gray theme and seeing which apps hard-coded #cccccc for parts of their UI.)
Me: Oh, now I’m getting spam for hand sanitizer.
Wife: I don’t think it works for that.
Detangling object-oriented code built on ever-more-specific classes extending ever-more-general classes with some methods overriding each other and then calling the superclass methods so that a lot of the actual calls are done in those general classes in a library, leaving the methods in our code base looking like they aren’t actually used, and completely hiding the flow, and thinking…
Is this *actually* any better than GOTO was back in the day?
Had to get out because it was more important to get rid of the moth in the kitchen before it got into the flour than take photos of it, and the spider in the bathroom has gone into hiding, and the lawn’s been mowed within the last week (and most of what’s out there I posted a week ago for the City Challenge anyway), so other than the moth cocoon I found in the laundry room, I didn’t have much in the way of indoor “wildlife” to photograph.
I haven’t been able to get out on solo walks the last couple of days, but managed to get out with the kid while he biked around the neighborhood so I was able to get a few shots for the Socially Distant BioBlitz on #iNaturalist
Unfortunately my bike needs a ton of work right now, so I was walking/running behind him while wearing a mask and trying to pause to take photos of birds and plants when he wasn’t looking disapprovingly at how slow I was moving on my feet compared to his wheels. π€·ββοΈ

Ok, who had “Michael Moore pushes old and discredited fossil fuel talking points to attack environmentalists and build support for eugenics” on their 2020 bingo card?

Weeds or wildflowers? Sometimes the line is blurry.
(Bermuda Buttercups, a kind of woodsorrel, growing through a hedge.)
I don’t remember where this stone wall is, but it’s apparently near enough I could walk to it, because I took the photo in the last two months and I’m pretty sure it’s not next to the grocery store.
It’s been a while since I saw a plume moth, at least that I could recognize. This one followed me inside and immediately alighted on a stand lamp. And after I went to turn out the rest of the lights to lure it back outside, it had already flown off.
Starbucks near the office just sent me a “we miss you!!!!” email π
Ducks at a city park that’s recently re-opened the walkways and open space, though facilities and playgrounds remain closed.
1. Join me for a drink?
2. OK, ducks can’t read.
3. Three ducks ignoring a pigeon.
Some photos of the park facilities and warning signs:
Sorta Open. Maaaybe. If Youβre Careful.
These two mallards were walking along and quacking, like a couple out for a stroll and conversation.
