Doug's Project 365

When I bought this beer, I had no idea the brewery would go out of business before I would drink it. So my enjoyment of it last night was bittersweet, even though the beer was neither bitter nor sweet.

“Doug, why do you have all these super-strong crescent-shaped magnets?”

Me: “What do *you* do with your old hard drives when you retire them?”

 

I had jury duty today, but the entire juror pool was released because a backhoe had cut the courthouse’s internet connection.

…was delicious.

Like Lis, I too am sharing a photo of the stage of Little Shop of Horrors, which we saw with Steve. It was a good production made that much better by the intimate venue: in the 2nd row, we were no more than a few feet from the performers at times.

Naturalist friends, what do I have here? I noticed these little beads covering a piece of fishing line that hangs vertically in our yard.

Dime for scale, and I used a light from the side for better contrast so the color is not necessarily perfectly accurate. Click through to see the full resolution, and for a wider shot.

I assume they’re insect or spider egg cases of some sort, but what?

This is the first wild turkey I’ve seen in our neighborhood. I know they’re generally common in the Boston area, but we haven’t had them here. Until now.

Coming into Falmouth Harbor at the end of our vacation.

I played 2 varieties of golf today: disc golf and miniature golf. One is much more photogenic.

I almost always take some variant of this picture on the Vineyard. The light is great, the colors and textures are nice, and the buildings, sea, and sky form an attractive composition. And it’s just about always ruined by that stupid DirecTV dish.
