    I've got some kinda weed growing in my yard that looks kinda like that, except not golden. and hasn't bloomed. It's like super miniature dandelions at the bloom ends.

    I thought it was part of some wildflower packs I bought, but so far isn't doing anything cool.

    Not sure what the name is, but it's nasty stuff. Yank them out before they bloom and get the roots. I'm serious.

    yeah -- hard to tell. Lots of invasives everywhere, though, nowadays. Some of 'em are pretty freaking nasty.
    There are some good online plant ID programs. I usually use this one, FWIW.
    Upload a photo and it'll give you its best guess(es), with some assessment of confidence & links to more info for the match(es).

    Just to demonstrate: https://identify.plantnet.org/

    I uploaded the photo to the left, which I took this spring in the marshy ditch next to our road down near the bottom of the hill to Plantnet. Plantnet (in this case, correctly :) ) identified the best match from their database as the marsh marigold.

    ^^^ I need one of those.
    Two, actually. To keep in rotation, because I would actually throw them at people.
    Are they lead? Say yes.

    Another Range Rover returning home after a fun day of off-roading...

    6i7ifmm3hpsi.png

    Of course, I jest.

    This is the way that many Range Rovers return home at day's end -- even when that day was just spent transporting Buffy and Biff to lacrosse and polo practice.

    The real ones are good, though, aren't they?
    They seem to be, at least in all the movies in Australia and Africa.

    I'm not exactly sure what type of person wears that pair of boots, but I am sure one thing... I don't want to mess with them.

    Those are @Hermitism 's. His second pair, actually. First pair wound up with the left one limp and dragging after a tangle with a mongoose. Said it was just becoming a nuisance, getting it snagged in sewer grates, revolving doors, and stuff.

    1972 Cadillac, 472 cu. in. V-8. Very capable of towing that Airstream. Trunk looks loaded too.
    Canoe will block the sun nicely.

    An aside: There was a pristine looking pair of Polk RT-25i's on my local FB Marketplace this morning, $30.00 for the pair. I went back an hour later, they were gone. Would have been a good buy.

    Peaked at 856,00 in 1950

    Now ?

    Somehow almost 600,000 folks disappeared in about 70 years 🤔🔍

    I mention this to let you know that they got room to squeeze you in, first come, first served 🤗
