I love this photo… A young (but adult) Arctic fox, having shed his grey-brown summer fur, with his fluffy white winter coat just growing in.
He’ll soon have some of the warmest fur on earth, about 140% thicker than he had in summer, when he was camouflaged amid the rocks and undergrowth of his terrain. No need for that, when his whole world turns white… so he does too.

Okay… I’ll be in trouble when I say this. At least, I presume as much, because I’ve been (only half jokingly) kicked out of delis and disowned by my family for this crime…
I eat my pastrami (though I prefer corned beef) on whole wheat bread, or sometimes a roll… and… don’t hate me… with… gasp… ketchup.
I dislike both rye bread and mustard, though I do keep mustard in the fridge, brown, not yellow, cos you have to put a little in deviled eggs and egg salad. (Not on hot dogs. So there!)
That said… That is the weirdest looking supposedly pastrami sandwich I’ve ever seen. It looks like about 2 pounds of hot dogs, sliced in half lengthwise and stacked.
BTW… I think shrinkflation has been going on for years in deli sandwiches.
I remember when they were behemoths… especially at a good sit-down deli, when they were delivered on a heavy plate, with scoops of slaw and potato salad. In really good places, the pickle spears were piled in a serving dish, or available on the condiments station… Not just one scrawny spear on your plate.
That was a meal, or often two. You could hardly get your mouth around it.
The deli downtown whose menu used to list “Our famous â…“ pound sandwiches” won’t even tell you how much meat they use on the skimpy ones they serve now… but a secret source (I promised I’d never tell who) said about a year ago it was 3 ounces. I don’t think it’s less that that now, but it doesn’t compare to what it was
” I eat my pastrami (though I prefer corned beef) on whole wheat bread, or sometimes a roll… and… don’t hate me… with… gasp… ketchup.”
Oh .. the humanity !
I thought pastrami was the American version of smoked meat but learned the two are similar but not quite the same.
The smoked meat sandwiches here in Quebec are very generous on the meat and are typically sliced with a knife from a big hunk of said meat. They are not sliced in the typical manner making even slices but have a combination of this and thicker slices.

A 3-year-old male toy Poodle named Pluto crosses a street by walking on his hind legs, on June 4, 2005, in Mie Prefecture, Japan.
It was unclear in my search whether he was taught to do it, or picked it up on his own, by watching humans… but he started to prefer it, and would walk for up to 1km that way, without being asked.
It’s called the wrinkled peach mushroom (Rhodotus palmatus), a rare fungus recognized by its salmon/peach colored, wrinkled caps and the shiny amber droplets oozing from its surface.
They grow on rotten wood, especially fallen elm trees. The droplets aren’t resin… they’re just liquids being expelled when it’s moist.
And they’re not poisonous, but very bitter, and not recommended for eating.
This sign might seem purely a joke… Which it was probably intended to be… but it takes on a bit more meaning after the 50th time you’ve stood inside a closed store… whether or not the lights are on, or you can be seen by a person outside… but with the “CLOSED” sign clearly visible on the glass door ….
and watched someone pull and push and shake the handle, determined to…. I don’t know what. Disbelieve the sign? Test its veracity? Shop anyway?
A thief wouldn’t be so blatant. Several times I’ve dealt with people who saw me, maybe doing inventory, or maybe even coat on, purse in hand, about to walk out… wanting to argue or beg or bully me into letting them come in “for just one thing”.
Telling them the register is closed out, and I’m off the clock whooshes right over their heads.
Does somebody tell the AI to throw garbage and indescribable objects all over the floor in these puzzles, or is that its own ignorance of what the world looks like?

I thought it said “Diner Car” on the window, like on a train. But no… I think it says “Dingl Cxr”.

No one can get back there to pick it up, since there’s no opening to that space.

Pastrami on what looks like whole wheat bread ??
Oye !
Better than a ham and (American) cheese on white with mayo.
