Woke up and saw three chicks in the House Finch nest. (I'm saving the photo for tomorrow.)

We walked around the Santa Fe Indian Market this afternoon.

Had a delicious Hatch Green Chile Relleno Smothered Burrito and a Perfect Margarita while sitting in the sidewalk shade at one of our favorite places.
Bonus: We got to watch two excellent Native American Hoop dancers while we enjoyed our meal.

1) We attended our first free Railyard concert last night.
2) We will be attending our first free Plaza concert today. It's also the Juneteenth celebration, which should be fun.
3) I have started to do light weight lifting this week. I have to rebuild my stabilizer muscles before graduating to heavier weights. I constantly remind myself, "Train, don't strain."
Used the Merlin app audio feature for the first time this morning. It worked really well and identified four different birds chirping away. Yesterday, I was able to find a bird through the visual search.
This is a fun article on the shrinking size of MLB players. Some of the player reactions are terrific.

@andrewstroehlein Really good read; thanks for sharing it! 💯

@tim No worries and welcome. I think I started with about a hundred follows when I started. Then you realize that some prominent people don't post and the fun is finding people with common interests and locality. You can interact as little or as much as you feel comfortable. Be warned, the interactions do grow you.

@5teverin0@toot.community Speaking from experience, the relief will be much greater. Also, by being older, your son will be less reckless than if he were 16 and driving.

@5teverin0@toot.community My son waited until he was almost 19 before he got his license. I was beginning to wonder if he was ever going to drive.

1) Attended 1st seminar on making mezcal at Agave Sin Fronteras.
2) TIL that the polinators for agave plants are bats. 😳
3) We got more rain. Every drop helps! 💦

@mattblaze@federate.social My father had classes there and graduated from Pitt almost 80 years ago. Crazy to think about it.

@atrupar@journa.host I'm sure he'll never read the Bible. He even held it upside down in this DC photo op. SMDH

@ipxfong@mastodon.sdf.org Dude, somehow I'm not seeing the hilarity in it. Growing old sucks from a physical standpoint.

@cstross@wandering.shop I remember sitting in a company wide meeting about ethics where the VP of Sales got up to present and then stated, "Business Ethics, keep them separate so ethics never affects our business." When corporations are only interested in profit, this is where you end up. Classes will never help.
