HORSESHOE CRAB UPDATE!

I have been recognized by the United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service for participating in the Horseshoe Crab Tagging Program by reporting the tag I found last weekend (https://pixelfed.crimedad.work/i/web/post/715310569850044948)! They sent me a certificate and a pewter pin. Somehow we got so excited about it that we had to take a family photo.

Neither my smartphone camera nor the Prudential Center sound system can do this woman justice.

The moment any of you tells me that Janet Jackson performed in Israel recently.

They've got couches and coffee tables on stage. Bringing me back to highschool!

Pollen Pants

Here we have some type of bumblebee on some type of St. John's Wort flower, pollen pants loaded.

Time comes for us all.

We found this dead horseshoe crab on the beach today. It had a numbered tag on its shell apparently put there by The Maryland Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office. I've seen many horseshoe crabs here over the years, but never one with a tag. I made sure to go to the website and log it.

Ships at anchor.

Spotted the Cape Fear tug and Aegea tanker anchored in my parent's backyard.

Burning sage

My sister had a little ceremony for her son who just turned one year old. It involved some burning sage and, uh, magic mushroom chocolates (for the grown-ups).

Still thinking about this pizza.

I ate a lot of good stuff this weekend, but this pizza I had for lunch on Sunday really hit the spot. Right in the center of the pie they sprinkled some grated Parmesan and/or sea salt that provides a nice zing of flavor as soon as you put the tip of a slice in your mouth. It's the Simple Enquiry pizza from Dogfish Head Brewings and Eats in Rehoboth, Delaware.

Hey, little buddy!

I heard this little guy chirping in a bush while I was cleaning up some dog poop. He didn't flinch when I reached in with my camera to get this shot, so I reached in again and petted him gently with my finger. Hopefully, mom or dad will come back with some food soon.

Ex marks the spot?

I found this marker at one end of the sidewalk of a drawbridge in Lewes, Delaware. There's an identical one at the other end. Any guesses as to what it means?

Parenting.

This osprey had just brought a fish to its young in their nest on top of this man-made osprey platform.

This is what they took from us.*

*I am referring, of course, to the decommissioned train station where this photo was taken. It's a shame that even with the embarrassing state of public transit in this country, we can't even have private automobiles with the kind of panache still barely demonstrated by this Oldsmobile.

Found a guy.

His name is Buddy. It's crazy how much a bird can cheer me up even when was feeling good in the first place! Apparently, he just likes to meet people, so the owner just brings him out to do so every now and then.

Wild strawberries?

Spotted them while mowing my lawn this afternoon.

Is this correct for the updated blade guard on a radial arm saw?

The carriage doesn't go back far enough for the blade guard to fall down behind the fence. I thought the guard was supposed to keep the carriage in the home position until the user lifts it with the lever on the handle. I'm wondering if I did something wrong. Any RAS users know what I'm talking about?

I wonder if this Bob Dylan & The Band cover band is going to say it.

I think this was the little reprobate that woke me up at 1am screaming for its mama.

I was summoned for jury duty and all I got was this pretty photograph.
