Ridin' on the down low. Only show em if you got em.
Edit: mouse, street art... you could probably put on your own exhibition. print some of that and start putting it up in alcoves, on Windows, on sidewalks, bus stops... reflect some of it back, at best where people can take the time, stop, so it's scene. model releases? a modest mouse may not worry about the repercussions

I've seen and photographed this baby once before.
The owners were in the Cinema Cafe having their brunch.

"under distress". Epstein was taking antibiotics for an illness and had recently suffered from influenza, stomach problems, and an abscess on his leg, friends said. Additionally, it was reported that he had been extremely distraught over the death of his 16-year-old dog a few days earlier.

Let me clearly state, "I'm plum tuckered out."
https://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/tuckered-out.html
It will come as no surprise that 'tuckered out' is an American phrase. No 'B-feature' western from the 1930s and 1940s was complete without Gabby Hayes being 'plumb tuckered out'. Hayes' contribution to the genre was celebrated by Mel Brooks in the 1974 film Blazing Saddles. In that, a look-alike actor played the part of Gabby Johnson, spouting 'authentic frontier gibberish' - "dad gum it, I am gonna die here an' no sidewindin bushwackin, hornswaglin, cracker croaker is gonna rouin me biscuit cutter".
'Plumb' is just an intensifier. 'Tuckered out' is rarely seen alone. People are 'plumb', 'clear', 'well-nigh' or, as in the earliest example that I've found, 'prodigiously', 'tuckered out'. That example is from the Wisconsin Enquirer, April 1839:
"I reckoned to have got to the tavern by sundown, but I haven't - as I'm prodigiously tuckered out."
'Plumb tuckered out' is somewhat later and the first example I have is from The Atlantic Monthly, November 1871, in a story called Wayside Pikes:
She then informed me that the first time she had mounted the colt he had nearly bucked her to pieces; he had jumped and jounced till she was plum tuckered out before he had given up.
That piece uses the 'plum tuckered out' spelling rather than 'plumb tuckered out'. 'Plumb' is the correct spelling but the incorrect version is still found - rather inexplicably, as 'plumb' means 'completely; absolutely; quite', whereas a 'plum' is an edible fruit.
'Tuckered out' is often applied to children. There doesn't however seem to be a link to 'Tommy Tucker', that member of the 'little' club of nursery rhyme characters - 'Little Bo-Peep', 'Little Boy Blue', 'Little Jack Horner' and 'Little Miss Muffet'. 'Little Tommy Tucker' may not have been very big and he sang for his supper, but there's no mention of him being especially tired.
The actual derivation of this phrase is quite prosaic. 'Tucker' is a colloquial New England word, coined in the early 19th century, meaning 'become weary' and which ultimately derives from the Old English verb 'tuck', meaning 'punish; torment'.

Easy to hate on the Beatles, still there was some goodness. With all this living, it seems to be getting hotter around here. Maybe hotter still after I'm gone. God keep Bangladesh from our tide of material, ever climbing higher.

Haven't had the privilege to meet the man. Tuckered didn't seem to apply to the Tech, at least not always.
