Nice!

Nice!

We're free and clear for at least 10 days.

Hurrah!

I'm glad I was in born back in the last century because the world seems to be headed in a dystopian direction. There's a line in a Madonna song (the best selling female artist of all time-- don't knock it)-- 'Its a cruel injustice to be witness to the things I see." I've witnessed a lot of events (we all have) I could have lived without and wish I could reasonably say I don't things will get worse. I know these aren't the prosperous times of the mid-century but watching this country's downhill slide and thinking about events that might come here and abroad requires more fortitude than I ever imagined.

A thread begging for cheese gags.

That's a Tunworth of cheese.
The thieves'll go crackers finding enough biscuits.

Certain you can all do better 😊

It’s close. I’ve seen estimates of 8%.

Makes sense to me, and completely expected.

Got to Tucson yesterday. The drive though southern Colorado and New Mexico had a lot of bright autumn colors make the drive a delight.
Saw 4 carriages drawn by dark bays. One Bay was a high stepper. Saw a man and two boys. From their clothing I assumed they are Amish.
Now I know what the wide shoulder lanes are for.

When I was very young I was very fascinated by the Leakey's research in Africa. My fundamentalist Mom found the books I was reading. Her reaction was rather uh....
astounding. That was the end of that.

I think it’s so funny that crokinole is having a moment. All my board game folks are also talking about it. I had no idea that it was created in southwestern Ontario and that it was, until fairly recently, not played anywhere else. When I was a kid most people I knew had a board.

When my mom was being awakened by her Apple Watch saying she was in AFib, she mentioned it to her doctor and he asked her for the file. They hadn’t caught anything unusual on her stress test so the fact that the Watch had recorded several instances prompted the doctor to look into it further.

I use mine to record rapid heart rate when I have an episode of SVT. I’ve had SVT for so long I have a hard time accurately saying how frequent episodes actually are so this has really helped me keep track!

I was pretty sure it would be really good; the combo of salmon and that sauce is a natural.

And I hadn't noticed the feta in the recipe for the sauce but I agree with leaving it out.

I told you all a long time ago my advice. My advice was to stop focusing on the Republicans so much and to focus a lot more on the Democrats.

We got weak to non-existent policies with Democrat because we didn't focus on what should be traditional (are traditional) Democratic achievements and values in domestic policy, and having demanded practically nothing and having received as much, we will be the ones to blame it Harris loses, not a man who has not been in office for four years, not Jill Stein, not anyone else.

I also said the administration's foreign policy is in your face duplicitous, frankly horrendously bloody, and couldn't be better designed to write off multiple core Democratic constituencies as if had been done by design.

Will laughing at Trump be as much fun if Harris loses? I would have guessed no but since it's been happening non-stop for the four years he was in office followed by the four years when he wasn't I'm going to have to place my bet at yes.

I have to correct myself.

This album is something I've also listed to countless times. I don't know who might enjoy it.

You might @wtg.

I listened to ancient music in my early '20's. I think I'll take a deep dive into it now.

I love it and it's very uplifting.

I've been promising myself for a long time I would settle down and listen to ancient music again.
