Things to Know

Coyotes can NOT be house trained. Just FYI.  There was a sweet one in our neighbor Andrea’s yard yesterday morning. He was just lounging about, enjoying the view and the breeze off the water. Andrea’s dog (who was inside) was NOT amused. I’m told he was barking like mad.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get pics. We were all too busy marveling at Coy Baby’s awesome chill.

Courtesy of Bored Panda, I just found a GREAT comic. It’s about depressed dinosaurs who find help and comfort in each other. 

If dinos can find solace, so can I...right?!

Cool rock — Petoskey Stones
...a fossil colonial coral that lived in the warm Michigan seas during the Devonian time around 350 million years ago. …This type of fossil is found only in the rock strata called the Gravel Point Formation. This formation is part of the Traverse Group of the Devonian Age.

The stones were formed as a result of glaciation, in which sheets of ice plucked stones from the bedrock, grinding off their rough edges and depositing them in the northwestern (and some in the northeastern) portion of Michigan’s lower peninsula

Cool art by Nelson Makamo
Check out his charcoal and oil paintings of children and teens here. I know, I know. You’re mebbe thinking kids and teens? ‘the fuck I wanna see art of them? HOW mawkish!

No, not at all. You should, seriously now, check out his work.

Took an early walk this morning—before the temps got above 80ยบ. I managed to increase my distance slightly which felt great (though tiring). I’m working on relaxing my arms and shoulders so I’m not holding onto the walker with a Vulcan death grip.

Later this morning I’ll do my ten walkerless/caneless laps of the porch. Who knows, maybe I’ll be easily ambulating on my own by this time next year.
