Excellent time to support your local library.

another day spent arguing with sand.

so much disk horse while i was on vacation about kpop demon hunters that i'm going to give it a watch despite it not being my usual genre.

Looks like fetch finally happened.

This shrimp will fry rice if stored within a meter of it.

I’ve stopped eating a lot of national processed food brands over the last few years. Our inspection regime has really gone downhill since the pandemic and the recent cuts seem to be making things worse.

i accidentally bought spices in larger jars than i usually do a few months ago and i'm racing to consume the spice before it goes bad. this is more interesting than some of the later dune books.

another weekend of i-5 maintenance.

Just to check... the bee made out of knives is the anti-violence message?
