    Hey you.

    Photo of a payphone. Someone has written on its box with a blue marker: “sitting naked by the phone, can you hear me?”

    Another hiker caught my wife and me cresting the top of a hill, then airdropped the photo to us. People on this trail tend to be either don’t-bother-me busy with their workout, or very social and ready to chat. Not that I’m either of those, exactly.

    A tall man and short woman are silhouetted against the sky. There are some large trees overhead. Both people are using hiking poles. The man is wearing a brimmed hat.

    The Black Panther Party had a 10 point platform. These demands are painted in various places around Oakland, CA. This is the painting for number 4:

    We Want Decent Housing Fit For The Shelter of Human Beings.

    It’s in the middle of a homeless encampment. Some things are better now. Some are not.

    Emergency cat pics! June Bug is grooming “her” kitties, Sam and Dean.

    A tortoiseshell cat lays between a yellow and white and a black and white kitten. She’s holding the yellow kitty down and licking it.A tortoiseshell cat between a yellow and white kitten and a black and white kitten. She’s. Looking straight into the camera, with her arm around the yellow kitty.

    The current art exhibit at SFO D gates is a bunch of old phones.

    A glass museum case full of blue, orange, yellow, black and red lineman test sets, and thick, like 3 inch wide, cross sections of telephone cables.

    San Francisco at night from the Alcatraz ferry.

    The San Francisco skyline against a foggy sky. There are a million twinkling lights, a million souls in giant skyscrapers, glimmering office buildings, thousands of houses, and a bustling shoreline.

    This is either sunset behind clouds, or San Francisco has grown a volcano.

    Giant blue-grey clouds behind a close skyline with palm trees. There’s a deep red glow inside several pockets within the clouds.

    Think I’ll walk a little faster.

    Armored police officers next to a large black truck labeled “San Francisco Police Department Bomb Squad”.

    Watching the Bills game at a bar in San Francisco.

    People sitting outside in front of large screen TVs showing the Buffalo Bills game. The bar is a small, local place called Northstar, and the sign above it says “drinking consultants since 1882”.

    I have found my happy place.

    (Lake Tahoe, Cali.)

    Photo of a beach with impossibly blue water and mountains in the distance. The edge of someone’s leg and foot is in the foreground.

    Send help, can’t move, besieged by wildcats.

    A tiny, orange kitty is sound asleep against someone’s leg.

    Down the liminal line.

    Down the length of the SF Transit Center, with a row of lights disappearing into a distant vanishing point.

    The new office’s view is quite nice.

    View from 20 floors up in a building, overlooking SF's Transamerica Pyramid, Coit Tower in the distance, lots of fog, and Angel Island on the horizon.

    My camera can’t capture the glowing orangey-pinks and violets of these flowering bushes on the sidewalk.

    Street art in Berlin.

    A painting hanging on a brick wall. It’s black and white of a young woman in a leather jacket, captioned “Look into your heart, There I’ll be”.

    The afternoon’s adventure: Traveler’s Notebook aficionado nerdery.

    Photo of a page in a notebook: “- Went to a nearby stationery store to get a Traveler’s Notebook stamp” And a red stamp saying “Luiban Berlin, Germany \[…\] Official Partner Shop Visit Pass”

    This is what a dare looks like.

    Photo of a glowing red button behind a clear plastic shield, labeled in German, and a sign saying “DO NOT press the button” in English. I do not read German so can’t be held responsible for the consequences of my investigation.

    Golden Gate Bridge as seen from the Presidio.

    Looking down along the length of the Golden Gate Bridge against a blue-green bay, distant cliffs, and a partly cloudy, sunny sky.

    The comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-ATLAS as taken from our suburban back porch right in the middle of the Bay Area. It was easily visible to the naked eye. If you haven’t gone outside to look at it yet, do it!

    A bright point of light with a long hazy tail is low above a nearby roof.

    Focus.

    I was in a meeting when I noticed the sun was hitting my water bottle just right.
