    I'm going to really miss my morning walks. But when I'm recovered and back on my feet, it will be nice to be able to do them again, with more energy! And other, more demanding exercise too. And not always struggling to work my way up to competence. After awhile, you get very tired of being tired. I'll miss some of the turning of the leaves, but not all.

    The trash can here really reminds me of the robot from A Grand Day Out, with the color and beat-up aesthetic.

    I did see one of the #WalkBunnies! It's hiding in the third picture, but you can see its ears.

    Thick green trees providing a shade canopy in the park. There's a few large rocks that kids can sit or step on.
    A metal trash bin inside a very badly abused beige container cube thing. One side is missing, which is the only reason you can see the bin inside! You can also see the drinking fountain I always use, a bike parking area, and a basketball court hiding behind foliage.
    A rabbit hiding behind tree branches and leaves. It was very nervous about my strange, attentive behavior, and the mysterious object in my hands.
    The warm morning sunlight is exaggerating the yellowness of the leaves where the deciduous trees are. The bridge is in the background, rusted, with turquoise railings leading up to it.

    There's a friend I owed it to, to listen to more Muse, and it's been kind of a discovery process! Like, when I think of this band, the stereotypical style in my head bounces between a few other examples I can point to on The 2nd Law, a bit of Explorers and a bit of Liquid State. But there are a few songs on here where it really feels like, "damn dude you wanna be Freddie Mercury so bad, I had no idea. Can't complain, you wear it well." But it's very Queen. Panic Station is one of those songs.

    Truth be told, the whole album is about uncertainty about the future, and particularly the drive to see it pessimistically, maybe even misanthropically. Which is not unfair, but not a good way to look at the world with love, feeling why it's worth protecting.

    What I want is to see the future like the oracle from... well, Oracle, by Tigernite. A future where every is so different and not everything turned out, but we also learned that we were strong enough to survive it. And that we're not so different across time, together in the loneliness.

    Humans I can see through the mist
    You've got the wrong name
    A language that you can't understand
    From a time you can't explain

    Do you ever get the feeling
    That you're the last of your kind?
    Your fauna's demise
    You're left to fossilize
    Because they left you behind

    When you feel like nobody cares,
    Remember that I do.
    And when you feel the earth beneath your feet
    Remember I can feel that too.

    Truth is, there's a lot you could worry about, but it doesn't actually serve you. Yes, stuff that's in your power, do your best with that. But it's important for us small creatures pulling our zipper through the fourth dimension to have the ability to shrug about the stuff that'll just... go how it goes. I'm not religious, but I do think the Serenity Prayer is one of the best expressions of wisdom we've managed to hang onto in my part of human culture.

    Also, every time I see a Minimalist era video by Bonsai Trees, it breaks my brain all over again that they really were literally children when they made this music.

    @jackemled I didn't ask at the time, so all I could do is conjecture. I will say, though, when I saw it? It wasn't sloppin'.

    @MaddieM4 I assume all rabbits are, since they love chewing through electrical cables. They must be trying to shut off people's bitcoin miners & LLM servers.
