ohminapril2022 day 23 - @vezelka reminds us today is International Astronomy Day. So many glass beads are tiny galaxies and nebulas unto themselves. As for constellations, could be Scorpio (for when I was born) or Pisces for my interests.

.

Observing the Universe - My son's telescope has not gotten too much use lately, as it's almost June Gloom season, when the clouds come in from the ocean at night. But we often go outside when the ISS is flying over, ot we might see a rocket launch from Vandenberg. There've been a few lately.

#ohminapril2022 Day 21 - Happy Birthday #mccmike ! They ask for a #mcctrish and what we're wearing. I'm no fashion plate and I've been working at home for two years, so you get my crazy leggings and Big Mac(intosh) t-shirt. Friendship is Magic (and cider helps)!

.

(and now I'm taking one or two of these off 'cuz something's poking me...)

#ohminapril2022 day 18/19? - getting a little mixed up as to what day it is. 🤪 . Anyway catnoir wants to see the last delicious dessert we had. Spouse is diabetic and while I'm not I'm eating the same food he is so as not to be cooking two different meals. It can't hurt, and not only is he now not having to have insulin injections, we've both lost weight - me about 20 pounds since last July when we started. . This was dessert last night - keto ice cream. It's not bad - very creamy, but the orange cream flavor could have been more orange-y. Not quite like regular ice cream, but we save that for a special occasion now. . (man, we can have berries, but I really miss fruit) . #ohmdessertapril2022 #ohmbeads https://www.instagram.com/p/CciqaVlpmro/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#ohminapril2022 #ohmrussia would like to know what's famous locally for us. I think most people come to my town because it's midway between a lot of other attractions in my area (Hollywood, Disneyland, San Diego Zoo etc.), but this is walking distance from my home. My town is also known as Surf City, and within walking distance of my home is the International Surfing Museum, a collection of surfing memorabilia from all over the world. A few years ago, someone built this giant 42-foot surfboard which has the world record for holding the most people surfing on one board at a time - 66 people crammed onto that thing and rode a wave early one morning near the Huntington Beach Pier in 2015. I would have joined them except I don't have a wetsuit. 😄🌊🏄‍♂️

#ohminapril2022 day 16 - @darya.gamanyk had us add a bit to her story, and then post our first Ohm Bead. I was having a hard time remembering, but luckily I never deleted those email receipts- I had been looking at them for a while when they had a few of them on ThinkGeek.com but finally jumped in with #ohmsugarsleighride2, which I grabbed because it was so funny. C'mon - poor Santa with that wardrobe malfunction, while the other holidays hijack his sled! Nos. 2 & 3 are here too - #ohmhalibut and #ohmreaperbunny for the same reason! 😄🎅

ohminapril2022 day 15 - dreamkinn asks us to put some beads together representing our dream job. I've been lucky enough to have pretty much had my dream job my entire career, although there are some aspects I'd love to do more of. I'm a marine biologist, but I'd to have to do less with numbers and more to do with live animals and getting out on research vessels out at sea. I'm thinking of volunteering at one of the nearby aquariums after I retire in a few years just for that reason. But I'd say most of the beads I've collected thus far have something to do with that.

(btw - if you've seen/read Cannery Row, the main character is based on Ed Ricketts, the author of the book here. And the poster is by Ray Troll, on of my favorite fishy artists, who you can find here on Instagram, @ray.troll.

ohminapril2022 day 14 - @schmoolovesbeads wants to hear a story we might attribute to our favorite bead while on a walk...

.

Mr. Mankini Gnome clutched his towel a bit tighter as he walked from home to the mobile home park's spa pool. He really looked forward to a nice hot soak but hoped it was empty of the gossipy older neighbors who often monopolized it. He was secure in his bathing suit choices, but he still didn't feel like hearing the pointed comments. About his hat.

.

Ah, relief! He had it all to himself, plus a fine view of the fortnite lilies. Now if only the little kids in the nearby big pool would quiet down a bit. Sigh...O! Water Hot is a Noble Thing! ♨️🏖
