Just a small hobbit from Woodhall in the Shire (Landroval). Notable smart-ass. Lover of pies, cats, & otters (but not at the same time or combined) Note: I don’t care about my follower count & I do not automatically return-follow. Quality over quantity!

Two images of hitchBOT. A hitchhiking “robot” that was intended to travel from Boston to San Francisco in 2015. The first image is a happy go lucky robot constructed of a few buckets, leds and solar panels with blue arms and legs and yellow boots and gloves. It is sitting in a chair trying to hitch a ride. Picture 2 shows the mutilated corps of the poor robot after being dismembered by someone in Philadelphia and dumped along the roadside in some trash.
From Dumb and Dumber: Lloyd Christmas (Jim Carrey) walking down the hotel steps in his “fancy” new outfit including a cowboy hat, and leather gloves with exaggerated frills.
The distinctive Wilson Hall at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL, aka Fermilab). A large concrete building with sloping walls on two sides rising to a midpoint where they straighten out and run parallel for the rest of its height. On the long face is set long rectangular windows recessed from the edge of the wall. On the end,the center is one large glass face up to the top with a similar lean and angle as the concrete outer walls. It is surrounded by a few small buildings and parking lots in the background are a mix of more buildings and woodland.
A cartoon brownish orange square bear with a worn out bandolier and a blue bandanna holding a wooden sword all in front of a black background.
An ugly attempt to shoehorn individual states in the United States of America into simple squares. The squares are colored based on a legend (not included since that was not the problem with this hideous thing). Inside each square is the state it is supposed to represent. About the only good thing about the placement of states is that the east coast states are on the east coast and same with the west coast. Inside though it turns to an unmitigated shit show. Wisconsin is due north of Indiana. Illinois is south of Iowa, north of Missouri, and just east of Nebraska. Tennessee is south of West Virginia and due east of Kentucky. And finally somehow Oklahoma is now south of New Mexico and borders Mexico.
Four baby Red Ruffed Lemurs looking out of the wood box they currently call home. Only one seems brave enough to face the world outside the box while the other three are being more cautious in the back. One is hiding inside the shadow. Image by The Shaldon Wildlife Trust.
Grey kitty smiling for the camera. She is perched atop a backpack on a chair. In the background is a wall map of the USA, and a guitar collecting more dust than I’d like to admit.
Tiny baby spider inside a tan paper bag.
A black cat (not that anyone can tell in this picture) sitting in a window with the red curtains closed. Her silhouette is clearly visible as is the faint glimmer of green from the leaves of a bush that needs to be cut back but hasn’t because Big O likes to sniff at them and use them as extra camouflage. So the outdoor critters can’t see her till it’s too late (too late for what I have no idea)
A gray cat laying in a white bedspread with a red curtain in the background. She is looking away from the camera as if the photographer was a person of absolutely no importance what so ever. (Narrator: Which is true until the food or water bowl is empty)
A small torti cat laying on a white bedspread. Her tail is laying pointing towards the bottom of the photo. She has one rear leg up in the air with her back hunched over. Her head just raised from the act of licking her belly, but is now giving the photographer a look of disgust for violating her personal time. This will cost me a few extra treats when I get back to the kitchen.
A gray cat resting on the top of a black backpack while appearing to smile for the camera.
Stretch of the Chicago River where the SS Eastland capsized while still connected to the docks.

Microsoft Outlook dialog for meeting notes. Most of the box is shades of grey with some text indicating “The organizer hasn't shared notes with this meeting.” And a link to create your own notes remarks in a very passive-aggressive way to “Take notes on your own” as if Clippy is still hard at work in the background but is pissed that he’s been mostly ignored over the last 26 years.

At the bottom text says “Pie? What pie? No pies here?”

From Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Wonka is standing center of the picture with a room of fantastical plants all constructed of candy.

A green box of SnackWell’s Devils Food Cookies with a picture of the cookies on it. While it had a claim of Fat Free, being free of high fructose corn syrup, and partially hydrogenated oil, it seemed to make up for it by adding other less healthy ingredients or quantities of them to get the flavor.
