Juniperus osteosperma (Utah juniper). I love these little natural bonsai trees I found on this mesa top. They're literally all over the place. It's an elfin forest! Utah junipers generally grow to ~15 feet and can live up to a 1,000 years. This specimen, growing from a crack in the sandstone, is only ~3 feet tall. Guessing by its appearance and the size of the trunk it could be 300-400 years old or maybe more!
manzanita is cool like that too. They're adapted to wind damage, can survive a near-girdling, the bark flows around the damage like water. And their growth rate is incredibly slow - an unimposing shrub can easily be hundreds of years old. If it's down and dead manzanita makes for incredibly hot firewood.
Had another beautiful day at the zoo today with the wife and kids. You can expect more photos soon. I am just waiting on my new #XPPen to arrive tomorrow so I can play around editing in #DarkTable with my new tool!

Every time #gyroscope sends a new mail begging for more money because their use of LLMs is massively exceeding their budget, it reminds me to consider whether I need that app at all.
@afisch Yeah, I've been using it since nearly the beginning, but the last few years of AI stuff isn't something I'm interested in. Is Bevel much better on that?

So @secrubio thought it was a good idea to wish everyone a happy russia day as US military forces deploy to Los Angeles?
@senduckworth @senatordurbin @janschakowsky you represent me, and you have my support, and the support of your district and state to stop such @statedept foolishness and end the deployment of US military within the US. Stopping it now would be better than later.

I was going to move on to a new subject today but entirely coincidentally my brother, who is currently visiting Slovakia, yesterday sent me a supply of extra photos of lovely old Skodas. This is the 422 Tudor from 1930. Note that this car is right-hand drive. In those days Czechoslovakia drove on the left. These are from a small but exquisite Skoda museum my brother chanced upon in Trenčín.
@vwdasher Plenty more where that one came from! My brother is trained to click away liberally if he sees old cars on his travels. He has zero interest in cars but has a good instinct for what I'll be interested in. I'll probably do a few more of these over the next couple of days, and then do some more longer term
@lionelb Seeing the radiator cap like that makes the modern 2D emblem more sensible. I could never quite work out what it represented. Now it’s obviously stylised wings.
@snaptophobic @lionelb Yes, I like the old grille mascots but they're not very practical. The Skoda emblem is usually described as a winged arrow - you can see the arrowhead if you look closely.

We finally got #SissyCat down to her weight class. She was 2-pounds over weight at the worse. She is 4OZ under what her top weight could be but within the range, still.
It was not an easy task converting her from grazing to a regular diet plan with structured eating times. It took months and we almost gave up more than once.
At first, we had to feed her like 8 times a day in smaller portions and slowly skip feedings, stretching the time out.
What seemed to do the trick was, getting a small cookie jar and putting dry food in it and when she would get antsy about her bowl being empty or low and would start getting into trouble, just give her a few bits to satisfy her.
She got so troubled, that when we introduced wet food, she finally took to it. She refused wet for years.
She seems much happier now and a lot more active. Now we are down to two meal times per day with some spontaneous treats (her dry food) here and there

who needs a gym membership when your house has severe structural issues thereby requiring you to build a stone retaining wall in the cellar and manually shovel like twelve tons of dirt as backfill to restore footing to your foundation, and when you're finished with that you'll also need to split stone wedges to fill the open masonry joints and repoint the entire thing
