Also, I found your Edgetar.

Yaaaaaaaay! Thanks, Av!

Is that good?

(Looks amazing. Kudos to Vain, Av, and everybody else involved!)

Rigel told me to check out the new place. Looking good!

I don't think my Edgetar made it over, which is sad, but oh well.

Earthy!

Sarge - :lol"

This makes five for me!

TP: over.

Paper towels: I have this weird holder on a stand that insists that you put the roll in so that you have to pull a new one off with your right hand. I'm used to it now, but there's been a learning curve...

Thanks for tip on where to find it, Fisty.

7551. How the heck am I on any top poster lists when I haven't been here in months??? I guess longevity is good for something, huh?

I'm so sorry for your loss, Io.

started my annual gig with the state legislature. One quick hour of picking up work-from-home equipment and then they put me right to work, proofreading bills. I'm getting used to the 6:30am alarm, I guess, but it still sucks.

I can't remember the last time I had trick-or-treaters come to my door. That's what living in a big, impersonal apartment building does to you. I'd be *really* surprised if I got any in this condo complex -- nobody has kids that I can tell, and the entrance to the four apartments in our section are ...

Got it in 6 today. Had to use an elimination word on guess 5 so that I didn't get skunked...

What Damelon said!

I get 4s mostly. Today was another.

I also play the Waffle game every day, as well as a bunch of daily iPhone games (solitaire, Free Cell, Flow, etc.). But this is the only one I share.

Hang in there, Sarge!

I had to do it on the phone. Blurgh.

Glad you're feeling better, StevieG!

How cool is that? I'm fascinated by the interplay among the cultures in Mexico and those in the American Southwest at about the same time. The Pueblo Bonito ruin at Chaco Canyon had a room devoted to macaws and another devoted to chocolate drinking vessels -- both of which had to have been imported ...

Wondrium carries several amazing Great Courses courses on Pre-Columbian civilizations. Edwin Barnhardt narrates most of them. He's got an overview course on the Aztecs and Maya that is really great -- and really long, at 36 1-hour episodes, but I thought it was fascinating. He's also got one on just...

Oh, all right. I *did* cheat. But only that once!

EDITED TO ADD: Let's see if this works...

Ha! It did!

Now that I think about it, probably Real ID is mandated everywhere if you want to use your driver's license to fly. Virginia was grandfathered in until something like October 2020, but I was in NM by then.

The most important thing is, was it good?

That's the thing. I can't tell. The ending was heartbreaking, but tbh I kinda saw it coming.

Austen is always a good choice, Cord Hurn. :) Just started Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer. Apparently it got super popular during the shutdown, but I'd never heard of it 'til I read an article about it a few weeks ago. It's very good so far. The author is a botanist and a member of the C...
