A plaque showing a unicorn surrounded by colorful lights.  When looking more closely, it is a horse with an ice cream cone stuck on its head.  There could still be a unicorn horn under the cone!

Today is the day of the Auroch.
Lascaux IV is a fantastic place to visit. It is a recreation of the original Lascaux caves using robust, modern technology so that it can survive the onslaught of thousands (perhaps millions) of visitors a year. The ancient artist used the texture of the cave wall as part of the art. This was a cro-magnon painter about 20 thousand years ago in a cave lit by lamps burning animal fat. Incredible.

@chrispnw I do not know what I am doing but perhaps we can figure it out together.

@kairyssdal So are we all. Well, many.
I had thought that Twitter would weather the storm, but my expectations lower day by day.

I am finding Mastodon a little quiet and lonely, but it is growing on me. The ambiance is calming.

Rain is promised starting today, Thursday, through Saturday, with possible flooding. With the flooding risk, some areas with recent forest fires will have the risk of landslides. Although a bit intense, this is more typical weather for November than the lovely, warm weather we had in October. Metro Seattle.

Oh, I say "promised". I mean that the rain has started. And it is pretty heavy for our norms. This promises to be a wild couple of days into the weekend.

@andrewstroehlein I am glad you provided the last two options. Too often we are led to believe that only one thing can be important when we are quite capable of dealing with multiple things at the same time.

We have had an extended Summer season in metro-Seattle. I mean that the normally dry Summer lasted almost through October instead of the typical rainy Autumn start by 10 October. Therefore, I have been pruning a lot, catching up with annual growth and recovering against long-term benign neglect. I get out and prune about 2 hours a day and I delight in 2022 because I am not in the rain. Here on 2 Nov, it looks like the rains are finally settling in, so my future pruning will be in the wet.

@__Chimaera -- I will add my voice (and experience) to @Karen5Lund and @AlisonW . The service overall has been very slow today, like the other commenters. Newbies like me are loading up the servers. Mastodon seems to be a bit more responsive now that some code improvements have been installed. And a new server is coming, so that should help further.

The light in the (GE) oven burned out & I had to replace it. The 1st challenge was to remove the protective glass cover without shattering it. Turns out that is it simply clipped firmly. I used some plastic spudgers to pop out the glass. A quick run to the hardware store to get a replacement & a new bulb is now installed. Much easier in retrospect than in anticipation.

The bulb is a 40W halogen & that explains why I can use the oven (off & with the door closed) to raise my bread.

Halloween is tonight in the US. Kids dress in costumes and visit neighbors to collect candy. Tonight, we have had zero (0) visitors. Same count as previous years for the last decade. Oh, well. Next year?

It is fascinating to watch Elon Musk as he makes decisions after his Twitter buy. At each decision point, seems bound and determined to choose the worse of two paths.
Board of Directors? Bah! Who needs experience and advice. Senior (c-level) leaders? Bah! Charge high-profile users a fee? Great! Fire half or 3/4ths of the staff? Great!
It would have been simpler and faster if he raked up $40 billion in a pile and set it afire.
Good luck to Elon, but what does he think he is doing?

I am using my list of Twitter feeds (that I follow) to find Mastodon feeds. About a 50% hit rate. And how do I tell which one is which? Lots of room for first-movers and fakers.

Thought I would add a picture for the fun of it.
