A lonesome highway is a pretty good subject

Entirely apart from it now apparently being business as usual for my killing joke of a government to start wars in whatever sovereign nations it feels like and threaten the annihilation of entire civilizations on capricious deadline, I have had a weird and fairly scrambled week in which I was not able to avoid talking to doctors after all. I can feel suitably noir-poisoned for recognizing some location shooting in The Rockford Files (1974–80) from Desert Fury (1947). The sky this afternoon suggested that it was trying to be autumn.



rushthatspeaks sent me an improbable mammal.

The smile on that mammal! Also I feel that those claws should be retractable. P.

Yes! It should be able to snap them out on Mack the Knife cue.

Rush IS an improbable mammal, so that fits.

I've always thought of him as an improbable monotreme.

Aww my connection has been screwy so I can't see the impossible mammal for some reason.

Boo! It's the silky anteater, Cyclopes didactylus, showing off its stylish hook-hands.

Ooh, I googled it. Top-tier mammal, 14/10, no notes.

That is a deeply improbable mammal!

I don't think I'd known it existed!

That is a wonderful mammal.

I'm really happy to know about it.

That improbable mammal is delightful! I wonder if they pose like that frequently.

I believe it's a defensive posture, although it looks a lot more to me like "COME ON BRO." It does not look that much more probable in other positions.

And it's in a neck of the woods I'll be visiting in a week's time. I will keep my eyes open ;-) It's a charmer!

I had no idea! Travel safe and say hello to the silky anteater for me!

Thank you! I hadn't mentioned it yet in part because the world being what it is, I wasn't sure it would really happen. You still never know, but at this point I have to start acting like I think it will. I'll post soon ... I made some fun clothespins to take as gifts...
