Was visited by a bat that might have had heat stroke? It attached to the storm window & drooled on it. We contacted a friend that literally studies bats & he said that it was suspect & if it was still there in the morning he would come get it (the friend has had rabies shots preventatively.) https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreihyotstwwaefmlwqsorgryh2z64wepa4asjejebdxpilajve2k7xy

A quick nature photo from one of the hikes I did a few weeks ago. It was insanely hot outside. The white fence is not the norm but you’ll see a bit of it around Lexington. Most farm fences (both horse farm & agricultural) around here are painted black instead. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreigrfydgee2ofnqeu7calglg4wfa3riosjpbz4pqklxvg5oe2jbv2y

Bourbon event prep has taken over the entire garage once again...

I really wish perfume / non-natural fragrances in laundry products were banned because they get vented outside of homes. I have already left the city to reduce this but still no warning I get a heavy wave of scent when some neighbors do laundry if I’m outside. Itchy, nauseating.

Someone needs to start a competitor to Canva / Affinity. Not Adobe. Really want something that allows you to store & manage your files in your own choice of cloud service, has templates (or ability to build your own), & works well on an smartphone / iphone for speed. Probably asking too much. https://shiitake.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:tbr4cunn6r4hox73ybzjfwt3&cid=bafkreiekeug6nmkhfbev23czrtdyzn7fov5srdpmcfuuj53eogovytzsoa

Getting kinda tired of massive changes to subscriptions. One recently decided to require switching to their payment processor powered through stripe instead of simply my stripe account and without sufficient info I’m leaving them. 1/

Currently acclimating to recent temperature and schedule changes including a cat wanting to spend nights inside again but then being annoyed and pouty about it.

Tangent: This cartoon in my inbox made me panic for a second yesterday because for some reason I thought someone was sending me a revised upcoming event map I was going to have to try and interpret. 😂 SO glad this wasn’t an event map. RE:

Ok - who is wishing for cooler weather? It’s very pleasant outside right now but the radio just said expected low tonight will be in the 40’s (49°F would count.) This is going to make the pools like taking an ice bath tomorrow… Mmm maybe not such a bad thing but I need to look for my sweatshirt.

My feed is looking like a watch party that probably makes more sense with the video. I guess I need to hunt down a recorded unedited version tomorrow given.
