I wasn’t expecting to start the day by having to rescue a snake, but here we are. Dragged in by the cat; thankfully relatively unharmed. Look at this cute little thing. It’s a Black-Necked Garter Snake.

So this happened today. A night of colossal thunderstorms and power outages. Over 10” of rain, all washing over our neighborhood, taking out our driveway and destroying all of the roads (they’re made of gravel and caliche) and now we’re stuck until anyone can fix them. Which might be a while. Probably four or five counties here dealing with up to 20” of rain and all the mess that goes with it. Fun!

This arsehole of a cat* is wasting away due to thyroid disease. He’s been on medication for the last 3.5 years and this week took a turn for the worse. Took him to the vet today and honestly I didn’t expect to come home with him. They gave him a steroid injection which is supposed to stimulate his appetite- he hasn’t eaten in several days - although now all he wants is cat treats. (1/2)

I wasn’t planning to buy a telescope last week, but when this popped up on FB Marketplace for $15, I couldn’t ignore it! One new eyepiece and a few screws later, total investment $33.22 for what turns out to be a very sharp scope. You can see Saturn has rings, and the stripe across Jupiter, and its attendant moons. Our Moon looks glorious. It came minus the original tripod, so I designed and printed an adaptor for my camera tripod. (1/2)
