WordPress is really going all-in on AI tools, but you have my assurance that I made\/cropped all these photos myself, with my phone and GIMP, and then I typed in all the text and searched for all the links with a keyboard and mouse.

I’ve been feeling better. After six weeks of lying around doing nothing, I need to work back up to taking long walks and doing errands on foot, but I’m back to doing stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hit up the last day of the Wintermarkt<\/a><\/em> at the airport. Enjoyed a blueberry Gl\u00fchwein<\/em> and a really nice Italian pork sandwich (not pictured).

The moose that Wham!ed<\/a> me in 2022 was missing, along with some other features I was expecting. The whole thing felt smaller somehow, but at least there were still people shoving their luggage carts through the crowds of revelers instead of taking the obviously-marked path around.

Did some work on the Patchworkgilde Challenge Quilt.
I’m not allowed to show the final project, so this might be all you get.
(I know the checked fabric is awful, it’s one of the challenge fabrics that must be used.)

“I belong on the street”
Ran across this after a dude on a bicycle tried to run over my FIL on this sidewalk.

The next three photos are from a “Krampus Stroll”, a public performance of the Frisinga Fratzen<\/a>, a troupe of witches and Krampusse<\/em> that appear at winter events<\/a> throughout the region<\/a>. I always enjoy going out to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The masks are carved out of wood and the furs are real.
This whip is horsehair; others carried the traditional bunch of branches for beating on the brats.

Unlike groups in some other regions, they’re friendly about posing for selfies and photos, and also reassuring children who are too young to understand what’s going on. Older children, not so much, and woe to any kid who runs up on them from behind and touches their butt bells. Hehehehehe.
