#AlphabetChallenge #WeekKforKn
"After my Knee operation, I needed something to occupy my time. I unwisely took up Knitting. But I did come up with a mnemonic. It didn't help, as this much later, sad one shows." -mick
#Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MaxTrain #Knitting #Knit #KNo #Oregon

The humorous instructional meme appears to demonstrate the basic physical motions of a standard knit stitch using bamboo or wooden needles and turquoise yarn. Stab it: Inserting the right needle into the front of the stitch on the left needle. Strangle it: Wrapping the working yarn around the needle. Trip it: Pulling the yarn loop back through the stitch. Push it off the cliff: Slipping the old loop off the left needle to complete the new stitch.At least I was a source of amusement for one young woman on the Max train. it cleared out enough for me to start working on the project again. as I neared the home base I started to pack up and I noticed that young woman was looking off to the side and barely suppressing a laugh. she finally looked at me and shook her head and laughed and said "I'm sorry dear but I guess we all start somewhere don't we?"

Print gets no respect.

At the airport. Two signs, close together. One says "Animal Relief Area" with an arrow pointing down. It looks like it points to the other sign: "Sunset News"

Shows two street signs. One is for "Escape Room"! The other is "Axe Throwing"! One would hope not at the same time. Although... Not AI, an actual picture from St Louis.

A series of progressive photos, a woman in a dark jacket standing near a rocky, ocean shore. As the photos progressive, a wave crashes up, growing bigger, then shrinking back down, never touching the woman.

Our roommate makes tiny fairie doors and puts them around the house.
"That's very nice," I once commented. "To invite them in."
He grumbled back, "No. It's to lock them out."

A blue molded plastic chair with wooden legs is visible in the background against a white wall Belgian Malinois-Labrador mix, often called a "Belgiador," is a high-energy, intelligent, and loyal hybrid, blending the intense work ethic of a Malinois with the friendly, driven nature of a Labrador. They typically weigh 40–80 lbs and require substantial daily mental and physical stimulation to prevent destructive boredom. These dogs are highly trainable, often suiting active owners, search and rescue, or protection roles, but they require consistent, firm, and early training due to their potential for high-drive, protective, or intense behavior.

"The first instinct would have been to go to the ocean. But my visit to the Badlands National Park in South Dakota show you can get motion sickness on land." -mick
#Photography #MickPic #PNW #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Badlands #OglalaLakota

Photo shows the eroded buttes, spires, and layered sedimentary beds of Badlands National Park in southwestern South Dakota. Location: Situated about 75 miles east of Rapid City, featuring dramatic multi-colored rock formations and a mixed-grass prairie. Key Features: The deeply eroded landscape displays distinct depositional layers packed with rich fossil beds dating back millions of years. Activities: Popular visitor highlights include the Badlands Loop Road (SD-240), boardwalk trails like the Door and Window trails, and wildlife viewing for bison, bighorn sheep, and prairie dogs. The native Lakota name for this area is Mako Sica (also written as Makȟóšiča), which literally translates to "bad lands". For hundreds of years, the Oglala Lakota people gave it this name because of the area's incredibly rugged rock terrain, lack of water, and extreme weather temperatures, making it a very difficult place to travel through. When early French fur trappers arrived, they simply translated the native name into their own language as les mauvaises terres à traverser ("bad lands to travel across"), which is how it eventually became known as Badlands National Park today

The highlighted package appears to show a bag of Blue Buffalo Sizzlers Original Bacon-Style Dog Treats featuring real USA pork as the first ingredient. But the "S" is stretched out because of the font choice and camera angle so it looks like a "J" for the product name. Yes, I'm 12.

Captions: Top picture- "Witches: Nature is beautiful and full of wonders!" Bottom picture- "Also witches: WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET MY FOREST FRIENDS?" This is a humorous meme contrasting a peaceful, sunlit forest with a dark, eerie, and mysterious one. Top image: Shows a bright, green, sun-dappled forest path with the text "Witches: Nature is beautiful and full of wonders!" in a cursive font. Bottom image: Shows a dark, reddish-brown, spooky woodland scene with the text "Also witches: WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET MY FOREST FRIENDS?" in an aggressive, jagged font. Note: This is actually from the Noble Woods Park in Hillsboro. A lovely, wooded place that does not have rabbits of unusual size. That I know of.

#Photography #MickPic #Samhain #WCK #ECK #MickTrip #RoadTrips #Detroit #WitchSky (No, it's Never too early.)

This image shows life-size skeleton displays from the annual "Skeletons Are Alive" exhibit in downtown Northville, Michigan. Location: Downtown Northville, MI, where local businesses decorate and display dozens of creative, life-size skeletons every October. Displays: The photos feature whimsical setups including a witch walking a skeleton dog, a college coed holding a pizza box, a skeleton in a dress reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe's iconic pose, and a Día de los Muertos-themed skeleton seated near a "Now Hiring" sign. Event Details: The display typically runs through the month of October, bringing festive and spooky community spirit to the town's Main Street and local shops. Samhain is celebrated as the Witches' New Year from October 31 to November 2, marking a liminal time when the veil between the physical world and the spirit realm is at its thinnest. Ancestor Veneration Build an Altar: Clear a space and decorate it with photos of loved ones who have passed, black or orange candles, and harvest foods like apples and pumpkins. Hold a Dumb Supper: Set an extra plate of food at the table and eat a meal in complete silence to honor and invite the spirits of ancestors. Speak Their Names: Light a dedicated ancestor candle and say the names of those who came before you to keep their memories alive. Release and TransformationWrite and Burn: Write old habits, grief, or things you want to release on a piece of paper, then safely burn it in a fire or cauldron. Reflect on the Cycle: Meditate on the concepts of death and decay in nature, understanding how rest makes space for new growth in the coming year
