Black, White, and Rain

It’s difficult to imagine this chain of events, but here we are, documented with a photo.

A hot water pipe bursts. One person puts a used tire in the pool, another hangs a red-white striped warning tape to indicate that. If you cross that hot pool, please use the tire.

It’s dark and rainy.

Resident cat acts as a life guard, watching carefully 😳 😳 😳 – no swimming.

Not sure why cats hang in wet grass like that, but they seem to not mind it.

I did almost 15K steps today, pretty happy with the accomplishment. All I wanted in the morning was to stay in bed and not do anything, and wasn’t that far from attempting it. A couple of highlights:

  • There are USB-A charging ports in the park. I don’t know how to test them without risking to brick a device
  • The difference between Rook and Western Jackdaw is enormous, once you see them next to each other. However, neither posed for a photo. I was not fast enough (bottom photo, 5 seconds too late)
  • I have a new photo of the void but will share it as a separate post because it is worthy

Why

I get the feeling the new generation laughs at and creates absurd things. Here’s one I saw on my walk.

31 years ago, the Bulgarian national football team reached the World Cup semi-finals. Nice, but long forgotten. Why would anyone celebrate such a distant and insignificant event by printing custom stickers and putting them up outside?
