Once a month for brunch I have a spinach omelet. But I hardly ever have hash browns. And my bread intake is very limited these days.
Some neighbor in Alamo, CA has a huge backyard filled with statues of animals like this. This particular sheep caught my attention as it looked comical, not that I would want to own one like this for my sleeping aid.
The Nexus 4 camera has this interesting built-in function where you could take a series of overlapped shots of your surroundings from top to bottom and left to right so that the phone would create 360 degree image automatically. For this image, I just stood at one spot and took a series of shots of my surrounding. I did not cover the top and bottom entirely only to a certain degree where the sun was included. With a 2D viewer, this is what it looks like. It 's pretty cool and my wife' s iPhone does not have this feature built-in.
The more I use the smartphone camera, the more I like it. I think it will eventually replace all the point and shoot cameras.

History of the Starbucks Siren
INSPIRATION
The siren was created by Terry Heckler, a corporate artist and creative partner of Starbucks founder Gordon Bowker. Heckler was inspired by a 16th century Norse woodcut of a two-tailed siren. The siren's hair is similar to ocean waves, a reference to Seattle's (in the U.S. State of Washington) proximity to the sea.
MEANING
The siren is a metaphor for the siren song of coffee, luring people to the brand. The siren's mythical and mysterious appeal is intended to convey the idea that Starbucks seduces coffee lovers. From European myths and alchemy, her two tails represent dualities, such as earth and water, or body and soul
DESIGN
The siren has been updated over the years, but the siren remains at its core. The latest design includes asymmetry, such as a dipped nose on the right side of the siren's face. This was done to avoid making the siren look too perfect.

Went with my dad who is 88 to feed the cows. This cow is on the old strip mine. It was mined about 60 years ago or more and now we are harvesting timber on it. Only about 10 acres of our farm was mined for coal.

Morning walk through Astoria. It felt good. Though I cannot go too far, as my feet and ankles are still afflicted with neuropathy (my feet are both numb and swollen; my ankles swollen). Strange shit. This a direct side effect from the Kemosabe Liquid Sunshine. My last cycle was on October 2nd. And the healing will just take time and I am just going to have to be patient. I've no other choice. Morning's are the best time for short walks. And I just have to stick with them, as I am confident that in time they will help.

Newell's Run - Year of the City
Crain's New York Business, March 7, 2024
Midtown-based Fisher Bros. has parted ways with a Long Island City site where it once hoped to build a 240-unit project.
The real estate firm has sold 42-50 24th St. to developer Chris Xu's United Construction & Development for $57.5 million, property records show. The deal will add to Xu's already substantial portfolio of Queens projects.
The Hakim Organization and Property Markets Group bought the site in 2015 for $69 million, and the real estate website New York YIMBY published renderings of a 74-story tower planned for the address in 2018. However, in 2019 Fisher Bros. prefiled plans for a 35-story project at the site that would span about 255,000 square feet with 240 residential units, 40,000 square feet of commercial space and a hotel.
