Daytona Beach, Florida - December 29, 2022: Customers fill up on coffee at a Buc-ees, a famous large truck stop and gas station, known for clean restrooms
I left the container of peanuts on the deck safter getting tired of continually putting them out for the squirrels and jays...I was surprised at how persistent the jays were and they emptied the container, going through lots of crazy antics in the process..
Steaks and cocktails is always a good combination, but why would I want to cook the steak? Doesn't that kinda kill the point of going out to eat?

I found this old photo the other day in a scrap book. It was taken in Baton Rouge, LA, circa 1983 while I was attending LSU.
This gasoline pump is part of a closed-down country store in Redcrest, California (population 89) located on the Avenue of the Giants among the redwoods.

Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA - December 12, 2015: A jar of chilli oil and other condiments on a rectangular plate, placed on every table at the Gyoza no Osho restaurant. These are meant to be self-serve. A closeup image.
Our last day at Dagstuhl - sigh. I wandered around and took shots in various places (coffee room, library) that I found interesting, as well as shots of the four pieces of art that we (as a seminar group) could buy shares in. (The "choosing" committee picked the painting in shot #33.) Riccardo gave the next to last talk of the workshop and asked me to take quite a few photos of him, hence the big flurry of talk photos at the end.

While I'm at Dagstuhl this year I'm going to try (amidst all the "real" work) to capture something of what the workshop is like and, more generally, what it is to do (computer) science. This is hard because it's not flashy high-action bull-riding kind of work, but it's important, significant work and deserves to be documented. I'm just going to have work harder at it.
I'm also probably going to take more people pictures than I would be naturally inclined to. If anyone finds themself in a photo here and objects, let me know and I'd be happy to remove it.
It had to happen. All of the government spending during covid, and now inflation has arrived. $1.55 plus per litre of gasoline. For my American friends, I think that works out to about $5.90 per US gallon, and Canada is an oil exporting country! Not sure what my UK and European friends are paying, but its probably even higher. My mid-sized pickup costs about a hundred bucks to fill now. It would be interesting to know what you folks are paying at the pump.
I have always walked or bicycled as much as possible, but that’s not always a good option in a northern winter when temperatures drop into the sub minus thirties, and minus forties. It doesn't help that we live in a huge country where for some, just getting to town can entail a twenty minute drive, or more. As for new tech, I have no idea what our cold temperatures would do to the power packs in electrically powered vehicles, but I don't imagine they'd be overly happy in the winter. Unless you keep your mobile phone in a warm interior pocket, a one hour hike into the bush at minus thirty can cause it to loose power and shut down, and similar concerns arise with the lithium ion batteries that power our digital cameras. Does this mean that we would be required to use power in order to keep our vehicle batteries warm enough to function? It seems to me that there are some massive practical problems lurking on the horizon.
In any event, I didn't take this photo to stimulate a rant, I actually liked the look of the sky highlighted against all of the structures, and poles alongside the highway. Looking at the price, later, as I was processing the image, just got me to thinking about the future. Perhaps I should consider moving to a warmer part of the world. :-)

Didn't get the prices during the price spike - but they've been getting frequent lately so I may not have long to wait for the next one.

This is Sheetz # 779 at 633 E Pulaski Hwy, Elkton, MD.
This store is relatively new, and very close to Delaware (a state that Sheetz does not operate in).

Exxon Gas Station located at 36 West River Rd. in Hooksett,NH. I really like all the details I captured in this photo. The Exxon Shop rainbow signs were phased out years ago.

Gas prices, ever-changing, that's not the interesting part. What's interesting is that this is point-3, as in three-tenths. Really?
Have you ever seen anything sold in fractional pennies that was not point-9 (also gas)?
