"The most happy persons..."

 this appears to be some flavor of rock squirrel...but it does not look like anything in any of my field guides...

porcupine spine....and skull and lower jaw....

trees trimmed...more grass...fatter cattle....silva grazing

mushy blob fungi in pine tree stump

mushy blob fungi sliced open...uniform consistency throughout....

fungi on the side of a pine stump...exterior has hardened into a protective skin

exterior skin pulled back to reveal what appears to be spores....fungi are amazing earthlings!

got a covid shot last week...much pain the next day and nightmares...i watched some interesting stuff on youtube this week...i highly recommend looking at a couple of the short presentations about the "OVERTON WINDOW" named for joseph overton....this window seems to be in action even as we speak...dr. andrew huberman has a good interview with a d.c. heller about "cold exercise" which if properly undertaken can increase muscle-mass more efficiently than without cold...dr huberman is noticeably excited...he likes big muscles....especially his own....i came across some music that i had never seen before...COLT CLARK AND THE FAMILY CREATIVE...mr colt clark is a professional musician and during the covid lockdown 4 years ago he did not work and rather than letting his skills get rusty he enrolled his three children into a band...the kids are Belamy female vocals, keyboard, and rattle thingys (was 5 years old when band began) all of the rolling stones tunes come with a lot of " mick moves"...poochy lips and strutting etc....great stuff AND some of the best chair jumps ever...look out TAYLOR!...the drummer is Beckett and he gets better and better...shows some real talent...the guitar is Cash...he also shows much improvement....between cuddle buddies and the clark family band i can get through the day without going into "impissated gloom"...i also watched a very depressing video called "these sisters were crying over a puppy-then this happens.'...this short piece consists of two little girls crying in the back seat of their car because the puppy they had just met in the local animal shelter was left behind...after too much time of little girls crying the dad appears with the pound puppy...anything for more likes!..i can live without this kind of drama!....
