The abomination that wasn’t there three days ago. 200 meters from my friends’ front yard.
Cell tower
Our new park
What was just a huge empty round grassy area has been planted over the years with a variety of trees, many of them identified with wooden signs. In the last year it got upgraded with an arbor with steel benches…every time I’m there I take the hanging trash bucket and empty it in nearby trash and recycle bins…and…
…a play area with slide, swings, and seesaws. And it gets used!
In the other direction, a family gathered in the shade of a tree, the father kicking a ball with his very young son.
And in the last couple days, in the shade of some anacahuita trees, a concrete picnic table and benches have appeared.
Evening clouds and moon
Clouds and moon last night.
A cell tower goes up
A few days ago, returning from the dog walk, I spotted the base for a cell tower installed a couple hundred meters from my friends’ house. I took a picture to make a before-and-after.
Alas, I didn’t have the correct angle. But from one day to next, they’re now staring at this thing from their patio (much clearer than here, with the tree blocking it. They’re perhaps the only people I know who don’t own a cell phone, a thought no doubt horrifying to many.
As is my reply to people who ask why I didn’t answer their call. Because my cell phone was turned off. And the VOIP land line is frequently unplugged.
Knot useful?
When I go to the butcher, I always carry my stuff to the car. Today I had almost 16 kg (lots of dog food) and the butcher carried it to the car for me. Didn’t really give me a choice. When I got home, I saw that he had tied the loop handles of each bag into a knot, something I would have never thought of.
In fact, I’m not sure how useful it is to know.
Sheeple
Outside my window today. Three presumably intelligent adults on a sunny, breezy day, having a conversation while standing apart from one another and wearing paper face masks.The question that comes to mind is, “What could they possibly be thinking?”
The answer is that they are literally not thinking. They are reacting to their conditioning, being obedient and conforming.
Here’s a video that does a good job of explaining how: CROWD PSYCHOLOGY: CONFORMITY, OBEDIENCE, HYPNOSIS & SUGGESTIBILITY: A CASE STUDY

If nothing else, watch from 1:30 – 3:30 (old Candid Camera footage).
Leaves
A bush I was waiting beside, hoping it would shelter me from the wind.
Eclipse
The peak of today’s solar eclipse. Turned our pine tree into a multiple-lens pinhole camera!
Just wondering
Evening light
Couldn’t do the regular dog walk today, so took Mocha around the neighborhood. I especially appreciate the evening light and colors, which aren’t quite as rampant where we normally walk.
