Good morning. ⏰☕🚓

24 September 2025

It had just hit mealtime when I reached this point in the morning. I slipped on my shoes, let Charlie out back, and headed into the garage to fetch a pail of water—wait, hold up. That sounds suspiciously like a nursery rhyme. Something about Jack… was it Jack be nimble? 🤔 No, that’s not it. 🪣 Ah, got it—Jack and Jill went up the hill, and so on and so forth.

Okay, the train’s officially off the rails. Where was I again? 🙄 Right—the garage. I went out to grab a can of dog food. That little errand requires footwear because we live on a gravel road, and the tires drag that dusty mess into the garage like it’s trying to colonize the concrete.

Which brings us back to the shoes. I keep a pair of Skeeter’s Step-ins handy, and 99 times out of 100, those are my go-to—even when I venture out among the English. No laces for me. The slip-on style feeds my laziness beautifully. They even sport mock laces, designed to trick passersby into thinking I took the time to properly lace up. I mean, does anybody actually do that anymore?

That’s all for this morning—I’ve got places to be. The rest of today’s meanderings will have to wait until tomorrow’s dispatch.

“Ritual is the act of sanctifying action—even ordinary action—so that it has meaning.” — Christina Baldwin

“Not all those who wander are lost.” — J.R.R. Tolkien

“The mundane is where the sacred hides.” — Michael Meade

#Trump sways, bops 2 music for 39 min #bizarre town hall episode. town hall, moderated by SD Gov. Kristi L. Noem (R) began w questions from preselected attendees for former president. Trump offered #meandering answers on how he would address #housing affordability, help #smallbusiness. But it took a sudden turn after two attendees required medical attention. And so Trump, after jokingly asking crowd whether “anybody else would like 3 faint,” took a different approach. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/10/14/trump-music-sways-town-hall/

#Trump promoted his family’s new #cryptocurrency project Mon during a #disorganized livestream short on details & even shorter on actual mentions of cryptocurrency, but the Trump clan’s supposed top “DeFi visionary” ghosted on the affair.

Trump’s youngest son #Barron, 18, was nowhere to be found when it came time for him to speak, 2hrs into the #meandering promo for World Liberty Financial, which even Trump’s #crypto sector allies reportedly think is #stupid.

Map of the meanders of the river Ahr on the wall of restaurant Ruland in Altenahr, Germany. Just like many other buildings in the Ahr-valley, this restaurant was severely damaged in the flood catastrophe of July 2021 which killed at least 135 people in this valley alone. #germany #Ahrtal #altenahr #MapsintheWild #cartography #meandering #geology @mappery

Below Winooski Falls (https://mastodon.online/@annejefferson/109735003170787948) the Winooski #River takes a very #sinuous #meandering course to Lake Champlain. From this photo to the mouth of the river is 4.6 km straight line, but 8.9 as the river flows. Lots of floodplain forest, farmland, and wetlands are preserved along its course thanks to their periodic inundation & #Vermont's sensible land use practices. #52LakeChamplain #BurlingtonVT

Spiralling cost of #Scotland’s #flood #defence programme

At the rate of current spending that would mean £20billion to protect all 280,000 homes currently identified at risk.

Madness to continue pouring vast quantities of climate wrecking concrete to address a growing problem, when #nature based solutions could deliver much more benefit for vastly less money. #climateCrisis #natureBasedSolutions #catchmentRestoration #reforestation #beavers 🦫 #meandering #floodplains

Happened upon a wonderful #sculpture on a sunny day in #Prague in August. Oh joy!

The statue of the Reader by Jaroslav Róna can be found just a short distance from the Old Town Square, at the beginning of Kaprova Street. An homage to paper books in a digital age.

So weird thought but I’ll entertain it. What conditions would be necessary for MySpace to buy Mastadon and rebrand it “MySpaces” and shut down old weird MySpace for good? #oddthoughts #meandering #capitalism
