The big turn is coming

On the way back in from lunch I ran into our friendly neighborhood squirrel. Call it a signal of the season.

I’m sure this one has a name. The students have named them all. There’s some sort of casual and non-scientific tracking observation going on, and you occasionally see updates on social media. They’re so acclimatized to humans that this one kept moving too close and running the video I was trying to shoot. (And when do you say that about wildlife?) I wanted to make a gif. Alas.

This is my favorite part of football in the spring, and just about my favorite part of football:

Oh, Aunt Becky:

Tomorrow it’s going to be in the sixties. Spring has arrived. (That’s the biggest joke in this post.)

This won’t be the last time, I’m sure

Do you know what’s worse than someone who doesn’t properly put away a shopping cart? Someone who leaves a shopping cart in other parking spaces.

Do you know what’s worse than someone who leaves a shopping cart in other parking spaces? Someone who leaves a shopping cart in a handicap spot.

And do you know what’s worse than someone who leaves a shopping cart in a handicapped spot? Someone who leaves a shopping cart in a handicap spot in bad weather.

Oh, and by the way:

Some television to keep us warm:

But who’s counting?

This came together better than I thought it would at mumble-mumble thirty this morning.

On the news, they’re doing spring break stories:

Outside, we’re waiting for more snow.

This, for the record, is about two weeks after that nonsense should have stopped.

Which way was that again?

It’s a good thing they put that sign on the end cap, otherwise I might not have realized this was where Hobby Lobby keeps the arrows.

But what if this confuses people? The arrows are all kind of pointing in the same direction. A customer could reasonably infer that the arrows are on the back wall of the store. Shouldn’t the arrows all be pointing to the arrow sign? Or each other?

Or was there a larger stash in the back? A better stash? More colorful and will more textures and features?

We could make jokes about this, and arrow jokes are trending up these days, of course, but it is possible, but I didn’t walk through every aisle.

Today’s personalized cufflinks:

Two more I made. If I find enough playful buttons to convert into cufflinks I might find one for every shirt in the closet. The shirts are tucked in next to the arrows.

Student television!
