... which tells dog owners to please pick up after their animals. With her it is a strict matter of principle that she always takes her dump within spitting distance of it. I do not have a little bag with me, so I will now have to root around in the trash cans to find something appropriate to do the honors.

Given that the park is also a very popular destination for all the fatso city dogs of the 'hood, I have often wondered about the efficacy of the sign. So, I once asked one of the park wardens. Who got very officious all of a sudden and said to me "madam! please! those are OUR dogs! It is part of our job to pick up after them, of course!". I wanted to prolong the convo by asking him how they could possibly tell the difference (of the end product i mean), but then somehow I refrained...

I keep seeing these photos that people take of themselves, so basically I wanted to try it out for myself also. The result is what it is, I'm afraid...

and I should also say that it will soon be a completely historical object - probably auctioned off for exorbitant prices at Sotheby's and things like that... Found it at the airport as I was leaving - some poor sucker on an international flight had obviously had to leave it behind. I hadn't checked in yet, so I stuck it in my suitcase.

The highlight of San Francisco was meeting the human behind one of the coolest avatars that ever walked the metaverse - Truthseeker Young! Every bit as cool in RL as in SL - and then some!

There is another cat in the immediate vicinity, which is why. She tolerates it for now (anything for a quiet life and all that her expression is saying here), but she is definitely disgruntled.

She brought this in from outside. Now she will guard it until I will get totally fed up and chuck it back out again. She will not eat it or anything like that - it is a toy. The "game" with this is that no cat is allowed within 2 meters as long as it is around. Used to be the whole room, but lately she has been lowering her standards somewhat.
