The brats are “Sheboygan” brats, which according to the woman at Olde Time Meats are the same as regular brats except they have more black pepper. The skewers vary slightly: Mine has an extra purple onion; Jackie’s has an extra yellow pepper.

As long as I’ve been using a Pixel phone (I’m on my third), Google has been alerting me to make “canvas” prints. But the alert always led to a blank screen.

It may not be obvious from the picture below, but those sprinklers are not only blocking the sidewalk; they cover the entire right-of-way from the detention pond to the drainage creek. To get around it I had to walk through a parking lot, down the street, and back through two more parking lots.

“That felt like going downhill,” said Jackie.
“We’ve been living in Central Illinois too long,” said I.
(To be fair, it was downhill—just barely.)

I got kinda ho-hum about rainbows when I lived in California, because they were so common. Back here in Illinois they’re more of a big deal—I probably see less than one a year, on average.
