Most spiders get bad reputations from the true dangerous spiders but no spiders are purposefully out to hurt humans. Most bites are in an act of self defense and their venoms true purpose is for preying for food.
[Adorable in my opinion ;) ]

1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good managers of the grace of God in its various forms.

Thanks for looking and reading!
the sun is a sharp chisel, carving light into the tiled floor.
the shopping cart casts a shadow of industrial purpose, a precise grid.
nearby, the soft curve of another shadow, drawn by an unseen lamp.
it shapes the space, an artificial sun in an artificial world.
between form and function, a silent geometry of commerce unfolds.
Saint Augustine's Abbey

Flakes of sky drift beyond
the window, neither falling nor rising, just drifting, without
purpose, unlike the willow beside the garage which gathers in
the white, reconstituted river. the dairy stepvan in the alley
with bottles and cartons waiting under blankets of crushed ice
holds up its windows for more frosting. The snow will go on
for months, laying down its law of excess, creating fields and
lakes where none exist, perpetuating itself from the air
where it feasts, where cold is as pure and transforming as fire,
and in its blind snuggery deep down, the small pilot
light of imagination continues to flicker, also waiting for
the sky to clear, the temperature to drop, the switch to click on.
-- Miguel deO

He has a good plan for you...

When the sky is gray
And the moon is hate
I'll be down to get you
Roots of earth will shake
Sinister purpose
Knockin' at your door
Come and take my hand
Burn away the goodness
You and I remain
Did you see the last war?
Well, here I am again
Sinister purpose
Knockin' at your door
Come and take my hand
I can set you free
Make you rich and wise
We can live forever
Look into my eyes
Sinister purpose
Knockin' at your door
Come and take my hand
The purpose of our most recent excursion was to witness the bison rut, a first for us, and to pay a visit to some prime moose habitat, not exactly a first for us. The moosing was good…more on that later.
Witnessing the bison rut was right up there with the most fun wildlife experiences we’ve ever had. The activity was frenetic and wasn’t limited to the big bad bulls. Younger bulls, and even this year’s calves were caught up in the frenzy.
I’ll be sharing some of the fun and sometimes surprising behaviors over the next few days...starting with this bellowing bull. During the rut, the deep bellows of bull bison can be heard across the landscape, and it's nearly constant.
Location note:
We had hoped to see the bison rut in Badlands National Park. However, the Badlands herd apparently prefers to do their rutting in private. We only saw a few dispersed bulls there (which I refer to as "banished bulls"). Fortunately, the herds in nearby Custer State Park and Wind Cave National Park didn't mind performing in public and very close to some of the roads in the parks. By far, most of the best photo ops occurred in Wind Cave NP, where this one was captured.

Prominently featured here is my multi-purpose bird stand doubling as paint can support and, as seen in this image, Coyote Peanut Dispenser. It serves each of these functions equally well with no required scheduled maintenance intervals. Pretty sure that our coyote doesn’t care about any of these features. And just to state the obvious here, these peanuts are not meant for him but really intended for the Blue Jays and Magpies. Crows, as well. I really should put up a sign on the stand so that I don’t have to explain this each and every time.
What is most impressive about this shot is something that can’t be seen but is a prominent part that allowed this shot to be taken. No, it’s not the extremely clean window glass although that is also a part of it. It is the fact that I was able to calm Misha (black dog) down enough to not scare the coyote away - they are extremely skittish even more so than the crows. So, yes, watching countless of the Dog Whisperer shows featuring Cesar Millan finally paid off. Thank you Cesar.
It’s obvious that this is a severe case of peanuts on the brain.

Fort Ruger is an old military fort on the island of Oʻahu that served as the first military reservation in the Territory of Hawaii. Named after Civil War General Thomas H. Ruger and built in & around Diamond Head Crater, the fort was established by the United States for the purpose of defending the harbor (Pearl Harbor) of its newly annexed territory. The fort was originally established in 1906 as Diamond Head Reservation and renamed Fort Ruger in 1909.
This fort was the site of Battery Harlow, armed with eight 12-inch mortars. And with the fort's prominent location on Diamond Head, it made a natural fire control station with several posts built into Lēʻahi Peak. One of these bunkers and/or fire stations is seen in the photograph above. You can seen the inside of the bunker with just the small opening 'cut' into the hillside looking south to the Pacific and west toward Pearl Harbor.
The Fort Ruger Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on July 14, 1983, with portions of the site still being used for training by the Hawaii National Guard. More information about the historic district can be found on here:

I got my new wellies on and gave them a runout. Not sure I am fussed about this shot but... I am not ashamed of it so it passes that test! I write about my footwear so often, I expect this must seem like the secret diary of a rubbery boot. Sorry!
Nothing exceptional or even particularly interesting happened today. Nothing wrong with that I suppose. Too lazy to go anywhere so am leaving it until tomorrow night to drive out to the coast and watch the sun go down.
Just on the way back from here there was someone on the radio banging on about something being 'not fit for purpose'. I am not sure of its global travel, but this is one of the buzz words of the age. Along with everything being a solution. Pens are 'writing solutions'. I've never had any problem picking up the telephone, yet there are people out there trying to provide me communications solutions. Even dissolvable aspirin probably has 'headache solution solutions' on the label.
Anyway, 'fit for purpose' irritates me. I put on twitter when I got back a lame joke I thought up. It went like this: -
'I bought a new coat for my pet aquatic mammal today, but it was the wrong size. Turned out it wasn't fit for porpoise'.
Boom boom. Day 156 down.

As a natural consequence of the ever more complex gadgets and services, the need for some kind of software assistant arose. Going by many names and varying in functions and intelligence, Personal AIs are now a natural part of every mans day to day life. Personal AIs takes care of transactions, shopping, booking and household chores. Some people find it amusing to give their AIs personality and treat them as pets, others just use them as tools.
Personal AIs can transfer small parts of their core to machines in order to carry out various tasks. Shells are robotic machines that come in thousands of variants. Most Shells have their own governing AIs but they can also merge with Personal AIs and transfer their subroutines to them. Not many people can afford to choose other than the cheapest versions, but theoretically an AI can inhabit any Shell. Creative ways of using shells can of course be shared and downloaded by the AIs.
The Yogamabara Mechanization M-400 Multi-Purpose Shell is a commonly used type of shell. It’s very fast and agile. It gives the host AI the ability to follow it’s client around any ground based environment and has a full range of standard tools, like laser cutter, hydro spanners and standard data sockets to name a few. It’s animal-like form gives it personality and this has made Yogamabara one of the biggest manufacturers of Personal AI Shells.
Get yours today! Let your personal AI schedule a meeting and a free* testrun!
* Your AI will be analyzed and mined for suspicious behaviour, transactions and interactions.

If the purpose of a Lowrider is to catch the eye, then these 2 definitely succeeded. A style started in California in mid-to-late 1940s, when Mexican-American barrio youths were lowering their cars by cutting spring coils and painting their cars with fancy colors. "Ride low and slow" was their motto. During the years the style changed a bit and hydraulic suspension systems were added and at some point the bouncing cars were popular. As west coast Hip Hop artists started featuring lowriders in the music videos, lowriders became strongly associated with that musical style. Quite the view to see a car like this bouncing to a rap song while waiting for the green light! The rear car I believe is a Lincoln Town Car and the front a 1965 Chevy Impala SS coupe (thank you Joseph Mazzucco)

Sprocket doesn't seem to have the same fascination with cardboard boxes as she did in her younger years, other than chewing on them (come to think of it, so does sister Shutter). One corrugated-cardboard-box-like item, however, still serves two purposes — as the brand name suggests — quite well for her.
The Red-breasted Nuthatches have very short tails and almost no neck; the body is plump or barrel-chested, and the short wings are very broad.

Thanks to all my Flickr friends for viewing, commenting on and favoring my images.
The original purpose of this image was to contribute to FlickrFriday’s theme of the week (in November 2020) on "#remote". This theme was appropriate to illustrate the situation of "lockdown" with all its consequences of physical, sensory and social isolation.
L’objectif initial de cette image était de contribuer au thème de la semaine de FlickrFriday sur «#isolé ». Cette thématique était intéressante pour illustrer la situation de « confinement » avec toutes ses conséquences d’isolement physique, sensoriel et social.
These cup-shaped structures serve the purpose of asexual propagation on Marchantia polymorpha. They form little discs of plant tissue that can be spread by water, for example, and grow into clones of the mother plant. You can see several of these gemmae having spilled out already and lying on top of the mother plant. This is one of the images I used in a focus stack here.
Here's some old and new things I want to say for selfish marketing purposes:
