Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

Don't think of it as vetoing 30 days of grace before an eviction proceeding can begin, it's helping "families who don't need more time to fall behind on rent."

The 394 construction has really taken all my careful traffic pattern study to sleep as late as possible while still getting to work when I intend to and tossed it right out the window BUT today I think I found a successful detour timing that requires only ten minutes less of bed.

I remember embarking on a long drive to a friend's wedding just after the 2016 election and realizing the two CDs I had were the Cabaret and Sound of Music soundtrack song, which one week earlier had just been fun singalong car music.

From peering inside, I think the wick adjusting mechanism even works! I'm so excited.

That said there was still time today to go to the antique store and find the small hurricane lamp of my dreams

A hand-sewn patch made of fleece that is a pretty damn good approximation of the Vancouver Goldeneyes logo. A second in-progress patch is in the background

Checked in on hour four of the What Chaos trade deadline livestream while cooking and they were discussing urinal etiquette so for the sake of my beautiful wife who doesn't deserve such things I've turned it off until tomorrow.

Close up shot of my hand to show off my fingernails. They're painted with dark teal polish and have gold glittery thin lines painted abstractly over them. I am holding a small bottle of difluprednate because I'm back on the damn eyedrops

It didn't work out for me to leave work early but I'm ready to burn with jealousy over everyone at the Black Forest Inn show tomorrow afternoon!

The only thing on my side is the crow was actually quite far away and may not have seen my face well

Unthinkingly said "shove it, crow" when I got cawed at while running late this morning so if anything happens to me you know who and why.

The bengal spice is great for that! If you put honey in it helps soothe coughing. I also like drinking hot water with lemon, honey, and cloves when sick with a bad cold or the flu.

Jaha, jag vet filmen! Det är spöklik, och mycket bra. Jag tykke om Mumintrollen och böckerna är skrivet på finlandssvenska, jätteolik. Nu, jag studerar med Star Wars serie på Svenska på Disney 😅

Brady Tkachuk miffed over White House AI-doctored video Brady Tkachuk said he didn't appreciate the AI-doctored video released by the White House that made it appear he was disparaging Canadians.

May I say: lol

Horrible things could and will come out about any player of any nationality at any time but at least save it for when they're actually involved 🙏
