Welcome to another chapter in the saga that is my visit to the National Agricultural Museum in Prague. I think we'll squeeze one more diary out of it after this, but I may save that for a rainy day.

Once we get this open thread opened, I hope you'll join in and let me know how things are in your corner of the globe. Lilacs are in full bloom here. The trees are going wild with foliage. Last Sunday, for the first time in my life, I looked through a telescope at the Sun. Maybe next week I'll get caught up on all that with you, but for now— more of that museum. I learned stuff.

Greetings and welcome to your Friday, April shower with Marko open thread.

This week I'm opening things up with a brief return to pictures from my recent visit to the National Agricultural Museum in Prague.

Greetings and welcome to another bit of Friday-flavored fluff coughed up fresh from your ol’ friend Marko.

It may not be my most insightful contribution to the site this week, but it contains a number of finds nonetheless.

Greetings and welcome to another slice of Werelynx life, kicking off a wee, little community open thread.

This time around, I've got such a hodgepodge of thoughts and photos to share that, rather than trying to make a coherent whole out of it I'll just dive right in, string it all together, and see where this thing goes.

Tomorrow there will be a demonstration in downtown Prague. We got a little flyer in our mailbox.

a meeting of the entire nation, come support, FOR THE CZECH REPUBLIC, 23. 3. 2024 / 14:00 hours, WENCESLAS SQUARE, ALL WHO CARE ABOUT OUR COUNTRY!, [website address]

If you're thinking that this looks like some hyped-up, jingoistic crap— you’re right! Flip the flyer over and it's from PRO. The back of the flyer sets out the 20 points of this organization’s program. It's really a remarkable list.

Greets and welks, bubsy-boodles! I don't know what nonsense I'm blathering and, rather than being accused of pandering to a Republican audience, I’d better get this diary started.

Hello, my spicy meatballs! How's the pounce? Enough spring in your bounce?

Getting this wee, little open thread up to speed this week are a few photos that I took while sneaking around the yard.

Street Prophets Coffee Hour. Photo Diary. (With image of coffee cup and cookies.)

Greetings and welcome to another slice from The Liver of Europe. Other than the usual supply of pea-brained patriots piddling on Texas’ carpets, there's not really much of note for me to yowp about in the Hiddens. In the words of the fabulous Molly Ivins: "I dearly love the state of Texas, but I consider that a harmless perversion on my part, and discuss it only with consenting adults." So just play nice, kids, m'kay? Seriously, the incessant whining about Texas, as a whole monolithic entity is infantile drivel, just as ignorant and prejudiced as any pithed Proud Boy could spew.

I was a bit sorry to see that further attempts by the Towing Troll to come up with new usernames have not improved. Folks are panicking about A.I., but one look at the quality of the bots still clunking around the site will have you waxing nostalgic over how amazing the robots of The Phantom Empire were.

Anyway, to get this open thread rolling this week we finally got around to taking a walk across a footbridge that opened in Prague last Summer. I took a few photos.

Street Prophets Coffee Hour title with coffee cup on table with two cookies.

Greetings, my scrumptious dumplings! Ol’ Marko here, providing a small, Friday-flavored sanctuary from the Great Orange Cesspool of reactionary judgementalism. Oh yes, I've been browsing the Hidden Comments list again. So many first time commenters, first time diarists, drowned in the cesspool. So many cries for help. So many lost and lonely trolls. The humanity! The spambots! No, darlings, please stop. Don't reveal your Moderate Republicanism in the cruel comments section of some rec list diary. Struggling with the vile propaganda of a childhood in republican America? Kossacks will chew you up even as you attempt to distance yourself from your own self-acknowledged stupidity by placing it in quotation marks. Take it slow. All are welcome here. Don't be just another rock crusher. Try out your sales pitch for your towing service before you hit publish on that diary that will just get you autobanned.

Autobahn? No, we didn't drive down to Carinthia via Munich, but you just reminded me that I have a couple leftover photos to share from our trip last week.

Hello, my delectable darlings! This week I'm coming to you, in open-threaded technicolor, from another part of the world and with a wonky WiFi connection to the internet that means my ability to get this finished, posted and romp a bit in the comments, may be a bit compromised. So, while the fickle WiFi spirits are distracted, let's get the slideshow started.

Hello, my darling, little wildlings. How's everyone doing? Are you feeling delicious today? It's been a week of digging around in old papers, sorting through the junk, losing time with the treasures. Hopefully the clutter reduction will be continuing in the coming weeks. Bound to be some reorganizing going on in my lair this weekend.

This week, I've got none of my own art to share. What I do have is a few photos I took of an unprecedented exhibition of the paintings of Petr Brandl.

But first, there's going to be an hour wait to get into the gallery …

Hello there, my frozen spring rolls. What's the dipping sauce of choice today? What other nonsense will ol’ Marko drop into this diary? Will Marsha leave Roger? Will Doctor Dean manage to save Little Jenny? And what about the cat?

Yes, the springs are a bit more unwound than usual tonight. I can't even properly blame it on the moon.

I might just be stalling. Well, I took almost no photos all week, but I'll scrounge up something to share to get this open thread rolling ...
