Cats, good books, AI, and religious walking in the city of Sofia
I saw a mystery bird today.
I thought only have one big, long-legged frog-eating bird around, and it’s the Stork. But we saw something like a grey stork, way out of season. Storks have already left the country for the year. So with some effort and the kind help of this website, I think I witnessed a bird we call Chapla. My photo quality is so good that it can as well be the Loch Ness monster.
Happy Halloween!

There’s a park close to our co-working space that’s surrounded by a wall. Right in the middle of that wall, there’s a patch of 10-ish meters of barbed wire. I’ve been to the other side a few times, nothing but trees. Makes me wonder why and how?
And a local resident:
Very friendly.
This is a photo from my neighborhood. This is the dark, northern side of the buildings.
And this is a sidewalk, the legal way to cross the highway. Of course, there are other ways further away. I call this sidewalk “The middle path” because it’s medium inconvenience, and in my opinion, holds the highest risk for the pedestrians. Zoom in and you’ll see the leftovers of a flying car that somehow fell off the bridge without damaging the guard rails. Not an isolated accident. I’ve seen a flying car in the opposite part of the cloverleaf interchange.
Scary monster on the other side!
This is a nice statue from the socialist period. It’s named Victory to be politically correct but we can rename it to Dancing in the Rain – after all, it rains and she looks like dancing.
I’m not sure I encountered much today but I surely soaked wet. Didn’t want to walk with an umbrella. My thinking in the morning was that I will get wet anyway but without the umbrella, I will at least not hold my hand up for 2-3 hours.
Water finds its way in and if you try keeping it out too hard, it starts building up from the inside as well. I think it was okay. The shoes held up.
