Athene cunicularia (burrowing owl) at the south end of the Salton Sea in California (10/24/2025).

A color square photo of a small owl standing on a mound of brown dirt. The owl faces toward the left with its head turned, looking at the camera. It's dawn, so there's a long shadow behind the owl. The owl is mostly a golden brown with white splotches. It's eyes are large, round, and yellow. The rising sun is reflected in its right pupil. It's legs are bare with very large feet and talons.

Any suggestions for tomorrow?

Today my kid told me that he can't wait to lose a tooth because the tooth fairy will bring him money.
A month ago he got a School Cone for his first day at school.
Last year he had a Halloween party and went trick or treating.

When I was a kid, we didn't have any of these.

All I had was a stone to play with.
And my birthday cake was a carrot.

Some of that isn't true.

This balloon has been floating around our house for a month now, ever since our kid's birthday.

It has been in every room by now and scared all of us multiple times. Picture this: you are alone in the house and all of a sudden you hear something scratching the couch right behind you.

A week ago it was floating just above the floor, but I guess it got new energy and has now found its favourite place under the ceiling.

It's a good ballon. Sure, it has its quirks, but haven't we all?

(It was upside down from day one because the designer doesn't know physics I guess)

Edit: this turned into a thread 🧵

AMAZONS 2 (1981)
Acrylic on Crescent Illustration Board - 24" x 16"

Cover for a DAW anthology featuring women characters written (mostly) by female writers. 1/3

Balanced on the bow of a slender boat, two dark haired Amazon warriors stand poised to attack. The point of the bow has splintered the rails of another vessel. The armored men aboard lurch back with the impact as the Amazons surge forward. One grips a spear two-handed overhead, ready to stab downward. Holding a round shield for defense, the other draws back her sword arm ready to swing. Her long green cape drapes down over her leanly muscular body as she pivots. Billowing mist obscures all but the tip of their ship. The sky above is gray, clouds tinged with red by a bloody gibbous moon.
