POG PUB 2025-2026: About damn time. For a lot of things. But not everything.

Been seeing a huge uptick of fox sightings in the area on nextdoor and excited to see my first fox.

I saw one in my neighbors yard this morning! A juvenile. Do they call them a kit?

Anyway, exciting new area land mammal.

It was hanging out underneath my next door neighbors car with a big tabby cat! What the heck! Terrible picture, best I could do.

Nice. I have the exact same birdfeeder

i guess this has become the place i post about wild animals

i was on my way to Menards near the Sharon Woods area when suddenly i had to slam on my brakes in order to avoid running over a beaver.

i could see where he was headed too. one side of the road, sharon lake, the other side, a pile of sticks.

this adventurous but dumbass beaver is crossing a busy road over and over for sticks to dam up a lake.

beaver bridge needed.

Maybe you could give him a hand?

Stomping the gas pedal?

Don't give the beaver a stick. Teach the beaver to dodge!

I went to sprouts(grocery store) this morning. they were selling old salmon so cheap! #mark

the sell by date was for tomorrow, and it was first thing in the morning. so I bought it, and came home and ate it for breakfast. it tasted great! but I haven't felt so great since.

my first choice was trader Joes. I got there at 8:15am. the parking lot was insane. and there was a line of over 100 people standing in front of the store waiting to get in??!?!?!? the store opened at 8am. wtf?!?!

so I was like **** this. I'll go to sprouts while the poors wait in line (and buy old salmon to save money)

The salmon is cheap, but the -ella you pay more for.

We're back?

zomg hi eyebooger i haven't seen you here in days

I had some free time so i made a custom charcuterie board for the squirrels out of a cedar fence picket.

squirrel approved

look at the bougie ass squirell with their charcuterie board!

What's a squirrel's preferred food? Do they grab as much as they can and hide it away?

Is it also a charcutierie board for hawks? Mmmm, fresh squirrel!

Roger sat right there and just ate for fifteen minutes straight while i had coffee. They LOVE black oil sunflower seeds, which is great because those are like twenty bucks for fifty pounds. Also peanuts are super popular. The cracked corn not so much. Any kind of nut.

Hawks are one thing, lately there have been black headed vultures overhead. The wingspan on those is incredible, you would think it is an eagle.

Currently losing weight because I became overweight in my middle age.

I'll spare you the boring details but it's wild how much weight can fluctuate because of water and glycogen retention.

Had some salty, carby foods and the next morning my weight was high. A day back on track and the next day my weight was 6 pounds lighter.

I wonder how many people have seen that first high number after a binge and then rage quit completely thinking it's 6 pounds of fat they've piled on in 24 hours.

The days where you dump all that retained water and scale is magically way lower are much more fun than the mornings of regret after you've eaten too much **** food and the number has spun higher.

Getting old sucks.

throw away the scale

measure weight loss with clothes. clothes never lie.

Jeans ride lower with your gut on top of them and you think you've eaten your way through to the other side.

Also clothes shrink and stretch.

maybe it’s just me. i have skinny pants in a chest. they are useless unless im thin.

The turning point for me was when I crossed my legs and ripped my trousers.

I have a pretty good metabolism which I worked very hard to overcome.

Now I'm working moderately to watch what I eat and my metabolism is doing the rest.

I just learned on Reddit you can make yourself hallucinate with 2 ping pong ball halves, a red light, and a couple grams of salvia.

you don’t even need the ping pong balls or the light

Not really.
