At first glance that was “perishing with the sourdough”…

A belated “Happy birthday, Boo!”

Never seen one of those, but back in the '60s-'70s when I was living in Illinois the city had small snowploughs for the sidewalks.

Speaking of whom, she was last seen here on 12 Aug 2024. Anybody know what’s become of her?

38 Ferrets (one short of the expected high) and plenty of sun here. Highs in the 40s and lows in the 30s until it drops to 19F/-7C Thursday night after the 30% rain.
