Overheard: “Alexa, tell ____ I’m not talking to her!”

Wearing is Caring
Every city around here has its own publicity and enforcement schemes for Covid-19 safety, though the criteria and general requirements are mostly decided at the county or state level. I haven’t gotten out to El Segundo much since the pandemic hit, so I hadn’t seen their “Wearing is Caring” slogan until this weekend.
Jedi Blocks
A screen capture from Minecraft Earth’s journal. Apparently Mojang hired Anakin Skywalker to write the captions for block descriptions.
Street (TIE) Fighters
I always think these markings look like TIE Fighters.
Not a “Brand New Invention”
Now that Pumpkin Spice Season is back, I finally remembered to post this photo from last winter of — of all places — Wienerschnitzel, best known for its focus on hot dogs — plugging its pumpkin spice offerings.
Or rather, “Pumpkin spice, spice, baby.” 🙄
Oddly enough, what I find most weird about the picture right now is the bright blue sky. I can’t wait for the end of wildfire season. (Oh wait, it’s year-round now. I guess I’ll just have to wait for the next gap between fires.)
