You got to love the SKX007. It has a tactical mien and the index markers are just more fun than what you see on most watches. It's those rounded corners on the arrow and ellipse. The sweep hand is transfixing––the little lumibrite circle in constant orbit.

It was great to get to see this godwit again. We had a chance to see one three years ago in Alviso but at a greater distance. Would love to see one in breeding plumage, they are quite beautiful.
Oliver St. John Gogarty Bar
Temple Bar District
Dublin, Ireland
09-18-25
The bars and pubs in Dublin have a really distinct look and feel. Very festive, and in the case of this establishment, almost oversaturated with little details.
The American flags and references to NFL football teams referred to an upcoming NFL game which was being held in Dublin. Ireland is not known for embracing American football, and in fact, the country is more dedicated to Gaelic football, hurling, and rugby than even European football, known as soccer in the states.
The game was played Sept. 28th in Dublin between the Steelers and the Vikings, the first NFL game of the season, and the first ever played in the country. The Steelers won, 24-21.
The pub is named for and celebrates Oliver St. John Gogarty. From Wikipedia: "Oliver Joseph St. John Gogarty (17 August 1878 – 22 September 1957) was an Irish poet, author, otolaryngologist, athlete, politician, and conversationalist. He served as the inspiration for Buck Mulligan in James Joyce's novel Ulysses."
Loe Bar beach is a half mile sand and shingle bank that separates The Loe, Cornwall’s largest natural freshwater lake, from the sea.
Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Loe Bar beach originally formed the mouth of the river Cober which led to a harbour in Helston. However, by the 13th century the bar had cut Helston off from the sea and formed The Loe. (Visit Cornwall, 2024)

So I'm starting a section on the watering-holes of Second Life! I'm starting by flirting with the bartender at the Tralala Diner sim :-)
Tralala has a lot of everything and its all interesting!
A sign worth getting out of jail for. As far as I know, it's still working.
(Just off Route 66 a few block, but since it's not ON the route, I'm not tagging is as such.)
Limosa lapponica. Burrill Lake. NSW. I'd spent ages trying to get close to a couple of Oyster catchers, looked up the beach and I was being calmly watched. Me, not so calm, my first Godwit...a lifer. Over the weekend it spent so much time back and forth in front of the house I almost got used to it, but those first few minutes.... were lots of fun.
I watched this bird for about 50 minutes. During that time the tide came in until the waves splashed its feet, then receded. For all that time it stood Canute-like on its chosen rock and didn't move. It was still there when I left.
Bar-throated minla (Minla strigula), Eaglenest Wildlife Sanctuary, Arunachal Pradesh, NE India, 24 August 2017. This little bird was very curious and followed me to check what I was doing for a while. ©H.Takenouchi
Liked the lighting on the masts there of the Margaret Todd sitting there in port at Bar Harbor as the evening took over.
