Another shooting in my hometown. Luckily, this time I wasn’t near the incident. I suspect the Belgian maffia has been busy eliminating bad actors in their Dutch crime ring, or something. One man died yesterday after being shot in the head Tuesday.

I’m spotting spots on spots 🐱

Just back from my yearly flu-shot. Also, two shootings, one only a few hundred meters away. It happened while I was walking to the GP’s office. Today was a day of shootings/shots in my little hometown 🤔

Wow, Apple iTunes and Juice Receiver as suggested free podcasting apps, back in 2010. Both are kinda defunct, 11 years later. How things chance in podcast-land, and keep changing. Also notice, no https, anywhere.

There was a ghastly cold fog 2⁴ days past the second equinox 🌫

My hometown Bergen op Zoom has a strong relationship with the river Scheldt and its estuary with the North Sea. This hopefully explains the three crabs 🦀, which represent the inhabitants in this cast iron statue by Kees Keizer.

Vet visit 🐱 He’s rather well-behaved.

Is resemblance the same as being related? 🐱

I believe this lovely 😊 flower is called Policeman’s Helmet in English. I saw it today on my run and stopped to make a (live) photo. 🏃🌸 🌱

As expected, the impossible-to-tear elastic band for strength training tore from me using it for exercises. Now advancing to the green band.

Clearly, not meant for senior citizens, though I am one, at age 61, clearly. Still,💦⛰⛏ 💦 ➡️ 🧱🧱 🤪 Right?

Commenting on Strava instead of a thumbs-up takes a lot more time, especially because I want it to mean something, and have to dig into an athlete’s history. I personally don’t fave anymore, because I now see it as bookmarking in public, no longer as a sign of encouragement 🏃

This may sound strange, but I bought two pairs of trousers earlier today, and these were the smallest sizes available, width-wise, and there were only two in stock. Apparently, fashion stores have adapted to the obesity epidemic of the Industrialized World.

And then I came across this sign that says it wants to help the endangered wild bee 🐝 population by providing pollen and nectar through wild flowers in a wasteland area that won’t be cultivated nor developed on purpose. Also, I see many pave their city gardens for convenience.

If you pay attention you could see a lot of interesting stuff 😍 along your city walk🚶🏼

Too bad I can’t seem to find an app or web service to alert me of price drops on Amazon.nl. All work with other locales, just not .nl.

As per @danielpunkass’s post about 🍞, there’s The Fresh Loaf - A Community of Amateur Bakers and Artisan Bread Enthusiasts to consider if you’re into making your own and want to advance with the help of other enthusiasts.
