What are things looking like on my humor blog? I forget exactly. I feel like I complained less about newspaper comics, though. Let's check what I actually did write:
- MiSTed: Skippy's Mom (part 7 of 12)
- Wait, the Pepsi Cops have a cinematic universe?
- Statistics Saturday: The Tongue Holidays
- 60s Popeye: Popeye and the Herring Snatcher (it's Brutus, you think Sea Hag is going to steal fish?)
- I Have No Idea What This Compu-Toon Means
- What's Going On In The Phantom (Weekdays)? Why are we seeing the death of The Phantom? August - October 2022
- I also wonder what mongering they took from us
- MiSTed: Skippy's Mom (part 8 of 12)
Now some more pictures from around the neighborhood. I'm getting somewhere, don't worry.
So one day I got the mail out of our box and found this odd little device in it. Must have slipped off the letter carrier's hand, and just as I was pondering how to get it back to wherever it should go I saw the post office truck driving down the street and waved them down. Still, yeah, I missed out on snagging a free postal barcode scanner thingy.
So in our neighborhood we've had this thing where crosswalks are getting painted with ornate patterns. They've been getting to be more and more of them.
Here's a bunch of dandelion pictures, for example.
And more multicolored flowers but still with what look like dandelion seeds to me.
Back on the dandelion theme, although with a variety of looks to the plants.
Oh, and this is a jigsaw puzzle that cursed ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger's life for months. She got this peacock puzzle from the Little Free Jigsaw Library on the east side and it seemed like it would be fun and no, it's a thousand pieces that all look the same and she despaired she would ever finish it. Worse, you can see, she didn't quite; one piece was missing. She feared that we had lost it, in the months that pieces were spread across her puzzle board, sometimes covered with other stuff, cleaned, swept around, moved, and so on. I don't believe we lost it --- we're pretty good about noticing when a piece is dropped and I'm careful when sweeping up to look for jigsaw pieces --- but it's not really provable unless someone else owns up to losing it.
Trivia: The flight software developed for the first Space Shuttle launch had 0.8 errors per 1,000 lines of code, an unheard-of bug-free standard for the time. Source: Safely To Earth: The Men and Women Who Brought the Astronauts Home, Jack Clemons. (Over the Shuttle program's lifetime the rate fell below 1.0 errors per 5,000 lines of code.)
