Be sure to vote in your state's primary elections if you can! They help the parties get a feel for how extreme/centered their voting members are trending and what talking points are making more of an impact. Many important local issues are also often put on the primary ballot!

Hmm, I guess that could be a bit misleading. The pic with the beard is from today, having regrown my beard over the past year, letting it grow freely since after AnthrOhio 2025 and getting longer than it had ever been before!

[Jaru @JaruCJ]

Today is one full year since the shaving with @BearDogShutter at closing ceremonies @anthrohio 2025. It helped raise an extra $2,000 for a total of over $15,000 for Ohio Nature Education! Having a beard since 1995, it took weeks to recognize myself :P

@bucees opened their first Ohio location in Huber Heights this past Monday. I'll have to swing by next time I head out that way!

Happy #Easter!

Happy Friday the 13th!

I used a Dremel to modify the hockey mask for Jaru's snout, I found the real machete in the back corner of my yard after the cable company did some work back there, and I got the shirt from @Woot

Hapy Valentine's Day! Kija has only made a few appearances over the years, but Jaru wanted to give her a valentine. It looks like it came as a surprise to the doggy in the painting!

I've still got my Kermit the Frog Muppet Show mug from 1978 that was brand new when I got from my aunt. My younger sister got Miss Piggy and my older sister got Fozzie the Bear.

Amazing to see Made in England vs Made in China

[Jaru @JaruCJ]

I was apprehensive about what to expect with the new Muppet Show, but wow, they did an amazing job of staying true to the original look, feel, goofiness, heart of the original! It is definitely worth catching it if you can! I am looking forward to the future episodes :-)

Happy National Sled Dog Day! For some reason some other furry little critter seems to get all the attention today.

We got about 16 inches of snow this week. Great time to go skiing! Jaru skied in fursuit for the first time last year, and will be doing it again tomorrow @skiridetubepns !

My great-grandmother made the Christmas banner back in the 1980s. I thought that mice had gnawed at the side while stored in the basement, but no one actually saw the critter in action. I am now wondering if maybe it was a beaver!

[Jaru @JaruCJ]

I saw @beaversfilm again on Wednesday, this time at @NeonMovies in Dayton with friends who had not seen it yet. They were giving out mini-posters.

I figured the Buc-ees Beer Cheese popcorn goes well with the theme.

Not quite a fursuit, but close enough for #FursuitFriday !
