Unidentified Floating Object.

It was very hot — 80° at sunrise — and really humid. No rain though.

Meade's video.

The lakeside breath of freedom.

And here we were talking about that 4:23 a.m. post about Kierkegaard and anxiety:

The return of "very unhealthy" AQI.

Video by Meade. I stayed in this morning.

Another smoky sunrise.

That's a photo by Meade. I did not go out because the AQI was "very unhealthy." 

Talk about whatever you like in the comments.

ADDED: Trump at Truth Social: "We are holding Canada responsible... the United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable!"

Bellflower.

Video by Meade, at 5:53 a.m. this morning. The color really did pop like that, and Meade said he wanted flowers like these in our front yard.

These are the tall bellflowers — Campanula americana, AKA American bellflower — that are native here. Not to be confused with the creeping bellflower — Campanula rapunculoides AKA European bellflower — that we fight and that our government tells us to fight. Those things are short, 1 to 3 feet tall. The tall bellflower are 3-6 feet tall. Perhaps you can tell from the camera angle.

Moonwatch, sunwatch.

At the Sunrise Café...

... you can talk about whatever you want.

Photo by Meade. I skipped the sunrise for a second day in a row. It was raining. 

At the Sundrop Café...

... you can talk all night.

Photos by Meade today. I slept in after the play.

A quick look.

"Wow"/"And it's great...."

Sunrise.

It was raining this morning, and I stayed in, but Meade went out. Those are his photos and video.

Write about whatever you want in the comments.

It often leads to the trivialization of serious subjects...

Writing the previous post and trying to get to Meade's YouTube page, I googled the name of the page, Meadeification, and got this:

Here's more of Meade's trivialization of a serious subject:

The Purple Path.

Getting Into the Weeds/Or: Even a Turtle Can Be Slowed Down.

Accepting accolades.

Patience rewarded.

At the Prairie Café...

... you can talk all afternoon.
