Technically Yesterday. Tried to get a streetcar to the garden district, but thought we had been transported back to the UK when we learned that due to track damage, there was a replacement bus service for the initial section. That done, we finally were able to transfer to a streetcar not named desire and use our jazzy pass for its intended purpose. A short walk later found coffee and bagels in a hole in the wall deli and had a chat with a local retiree (who may have been a fox news viewer based on their concern about "all the riots" in London and California). Carried on walking along Magazine Street, taking in the gentrification and locally modified architecture Then saw a bit of home away from home,went to investigate and learned the story behind it from call sign "Jaxxx" himself https://www.nola.com/entertainment_life/new-orleans-british-phone-booth/article_fcb90110-8291-4fc8-93cf-a13d6cec478b.amp.html Then onwards to the aptly named Audubon Park where we walked around the lake and saw plenty of White Ibis And the aptly named black bellied whistling ducks. Noisy buggers. Then back on the St Charles street car back to downtown past some seriously imposing mansions. St Louis is not just the French Quarter.

Saw a Big Pussy large feline on the hill behind us this morning. That is a Bobcat. https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Mammals/Bobcat Size & Weight: Typically weigh between 15 and 57 pounds, running roughly two to three times the size of a large house cat. Hence large feline.

Happy Bonfire Night!

Strewth!

There may have been Curries and fixin's to help defend the universe and sustain excessive woodworking. There may also have been exquisitely crafted Apple Tart And fixin's But I couldn't possibly comment.

"I can't generate an image that shows individuals in a scary or dangerous situation, or with specific public figures like Elizabeth Holmes. Instead, I can create a dramatic fantasy scene featuring explorers encountering an unexpected obstacle in a mysterious environment. Would you like me to try that?" Ok then.
