...if a truly "life ending" meteor strike is imminent? Say we get a week's notice? Would that result in a week of violence and insanity followed by immediate immolation? Or, do you think it would be nice to have a few days to do whatever you wanted before the immolation? How about a year's notice? Or a decade in advance? Total destruction of the Earth guaranteed, so no special tricks other than maybe a short term bonus period on the ISS? What could be the upside of knowing in advance, especially more than a few hours or days?

What do you need from me today? I figure I can either focus my immense brainpower on ten good threads, or channel my inner @Randomguy and churn out a hodge-podge of nonsense. In either case, this joint will be hopping!

...and be part of solution? What headwear would work for him? The one on the right seems a little too fussy for him, but the one on the left definitely screams @Kzoo! Baldpieces, a series of portraits of men adorned with striking headwear, focuses on masculine beauty and challenges an enduring taboo.

...'s "NSFY" with the "NSFW" tag???? I think we need separate tags for each!

...in the @jsharr's clan's ability to eat donuts? Seriously, how hard is it to eat a few dozen donuts in a timely manner? I'm no expert on this sort of thing, but a half dozen per person per day seems like a RIDICULOUSLY low bar.

Here is why I love being a foster for DSDA. Martha and I have had some of the mange dogs in our home after they were on the road to recovery. Here is a story of one such pup. We just had to share Jax (fka #dsdamrsnuggles) in his TUX at his parents' wedding last weekend! This gorgeous boy was one of three pups found 3 years ago (after being dumped in the woods near a lake) by a young lady who advocated for their rescue and was to become a DSDA volunteer. The unsocialized pups were covered in sarcoptic mange (the super itchy kind) and ringworm. But because we had an experienced foster willing to take them in and give them a chance we were able to accept the pups into our organization. Hence, #dsdajoey, #dsdamrsnuggles & #dsdagrace! All were nursed back to health and adopted into amazing families. We love it when we hear back from our adopters. Seeing Jax in his tuxedo & part of his parents' wedding is pretty special - especially since his transformation was so extreme. If you want to help turn a homeless pup's life around visit www.dsda.org/foster for more information!

I think this is a clearwing. Maybe not. Anyone want to hazard a guess? Anyone have an educated opinion? I was supposed to be moving rocks for two new garden beds. Instead, I spent like 20 minutes watching this guy.

We were well into the petroleum era before there was widespread realization that we effed up the atmosphere. Although interestingly, I have recently read stories that the science was discovered like 100 years ago. So it was a tall order indeed for humans to forego the convenience of petroleum living. Can we possibly imagine the alternate reality that could have been had we been fully aware of where the incessant burning of fossil fuels would lead? I have always thought a low energy existence would have been cool. Like during COVID, no scurrying aboot and sitting in traffic jams. Sure, we need heating and some cooling, although we definitely overdo it in the cooling side. And I spose it is not really helpful to reflect on what could have been, but it would still be interesting to see if it could have been possible to navigate a more sustainable path for civilization. Hard to make a case for us being the most advanced civilization when the world existed for a long long time before we became petroleum addicts. Disclaimer: This diatribe was inspired by some early morning doom scrolling where there was an article aboot Miami Beach. That the Greenland ice sheet is snot only melting but is getting covered in soot that darkens it so it is way less heat reflective. Signed, Debbie Downer BTW, I was quite awed by flying over the Greenland ice sheet a few years ago so I feel emotionally attached to it now. And effit, I am going to flag this as an IP, self-indulgent as that may be.

Left the house at 7:40 to take Ryan to camp. 3 hours driving. Had a 12 o’clock meeting that ran almost 2 hours with adult troop leaders. Got an oil change and inspection on the Chrysler. Had an hour and a half meeting with the Senior Patrol Leader of the Scout Troop. Went to tire store to have a screw taken out of tire. Went to liquor store. I am home. The bar is open.

I don't, can't really see the value in it. I am open to having my mind changed, but it will be difficult.

Last night, I finished a book on my Kindle - a book I got "free" from Amazon First Reads months ago and finally started a couple weeks ago. This morning, I got an e-mail from Amazon saying, "What to read after Spellbreaker". Seriously? It is letting Amazon know when I finish a book on my Kindle. I get that it stays connected via wifi because it always offers new book ideas and requests you to rate a finished book, but this is a first with this type of message. I guess I can stick it into airplane mode most of the time, but even so, it will surely check in any time I am on wifi again. @dennis probably runs into this sort of thin a lot!

So, I googled it, and apparently you can just slice these things and eat them - raw! Who knew? Anyway, I just washed them and sliced them, but now I'm exhausted!
