Fri-Yay! Cafe

New Zealand, by Paul Wilson Image

Crow demands more feather-brushing.

Poor little dog wants to snuggle with the cat but the cat won't have it.

Escape horse.

Little dog is so happy with his new wheelchair.

Stubborn dog.

Stray dog finds a toy.

Dog and duck are partners in crime.

Excitable alpaca.

Paw signals.

After careful negotiations, they agreed to play.

Capybara commando.

Timelapse of night skies and dawn.

This is just playing right into their narcissism.

Laser target practice.

Pleasure droid.

Does it have a button I can push to silence it?

I kinda think this must be fake but it looks pretty good: Mars' moon Phobos orbiting the red planet.

Maybe. Might be fake.

Gah, went grocery shopping today. At the entrance aisle they have a long narrow table, always with goodies. Today, at the end, was boxes of glazed donuts. Beautiful glazed donuts. I averted my eyes.

Re that Phobos video. Those are taken from real images by Mars Express orbiter, but they are highly processed time lapse composites. That was done by someone named Andrea Luck.

My dog and my two cats get along pretty well, but it's definitely the cats who draw the line. Cross it, and it's a smack across his snout.

The wonder is that he doesn't seem to mind.

Phobos orbits very close to Mars and is very fast, well within the areostationary radius (how's that for a word?).

It thus rises in the west and sets in the east as seen on surface, and does that about twice every Martian day.

I gave up years ago fighting the rabbits and confined myself to only planting flowers in my garden that they (and the deer) don't like to eat.

My neighbors, bless them, carry on with a vegetable garden. It's wired like a Luftstalag. And still the little bastards find their way in.

Glazed donuts? You mean those warm, fluffy donuts, with slightly toasted bits, covered in a warm, creamy sweet glaze that ran down the sides, adhering one mouth filling delight to the next one, then drizzling down to the wax paper below....

Or not

The guys at JPL (and the ESA) that operate the rovers and orbiters sync themselves with the Martian mean solar day, which is about 24 hours and 40 minutes long.

They've got watches and clocks synced to that and operate shifts on the Martian solar day cycle, which gets out of sync with the earth. They call a Martian day a Sol, and get cute with it, with terms like yestersol, tosol, and solorrow.

47 We don't have rabbits up here naturally, just snowshoe hares, which mostly leave gardens alone.

But, in Cohoe near Kasilof, as well as in Valdez, someone let loose some domestics years ago and they are just everywhere. But, there are no rules against shooting them, so...

Our contractor has been doing that. We are living in the camper while renovations proceed. So far they have pulled out the offending kitchen, laundry room and bathroom, and framed up the breezeway and bedroom. Roofs are on, windows are mostly in. Plumbers and tinners were there this week, and did most of that work to rough-in. Furnace installed, new partitions framed.

Back when we were young and stupid, we did this kind of work ourselves. Now it's just easier to pay and be done.

Why do they feed birds in the summer? Not all bears up here are the cute black kind, but all bird feeders will be raided. Unless the bears are hibernating.
