"It's just a show I should really just relax" Congratulations to the 2 I count who got that yesterday's #TVThemeGone was Mystery Science Theater 3000! @gemini53 @jnana108 Thanks for playing & let me know if I missed you! youtu.be/DcUkKltAidM?...

Recently, at the nature preserve: * Probably a female Anna's hummingbird * Scrubjay (I say my proudest thing outside of family was hand-taming a wild scrubjay years ago) * Night heron * Turkey vulture (people don't like vultures, but I think they can be magnificent)

#PuddlePic I just love finding the beauty in the sun reflected in a puddle!

13 February's #EyedentityGame eyes (I do this as a daily game). I can't do the kind of robust tracking I normally do for who gets it in 2 places, & this 1 has been answered there, but feel free to guess & discuss! I'll reveal the answer tomorrow

Got the 4 #Quordle words in 7: with a 3 word open, that's as few as it ever takes unless 1 of my openers is an answer (every real guess was right). Very fast, well under a minute overall: fun 1!

Got today's #Wordle in my usual 4: 3 word open, then 1 real guess. Maybe 25 seconds overall: fun 1! Wordle 1,345 4/6 β¬›πŸŸ¨β¬›πŸŸ¨πŸŸ¨ ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ β¬›β¬›β¬›β¬›πŸŸ¨ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 www.nytimes.com/games/wordle...

This #EyedentityGame was Barbara Britton! No one got it (the average is 44). That's highly unusual: about 25 times out of 1,749. Thanks for having fun with it! www.imdb.com/name/nm01101...

I failed you on today's #Quordle, only getting 3 of the 4 words: 3 word open, the wrong way on a flip a coin, then 2 legit but wrong words...oh, well. I might have attempted it with better strategy, but feel ok with what I did
