The former president, who has been in hospice care for nineteen months, has now lived long enough to achieve that.

Former President Jimmy Carter accomplished one final goal on Tuesday during early voting in Georgia, making Oct. 15 a special milestone for him. His grandson told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution over the summer that Carter had said, “I’m only trying to make it to vote for Kamala Harris.”

No aurora here last night, but chorizo to ease the feeling of missing out.

Anyone have any experience with either of these apps? A friend recently got an EV and says the data in her Chargepoint app didn’t match up (charging stations missing or out of service). She’s looking for a reliable alternative app.

Oh, it’s gonna be a GOOD Friday. 😋

Gotta remember to pace myself while instructing for the next three weeks.

Hope everyone has completed their checklist for tomorrow. Snacks, drinks, seats, & guests. Have fun everybody!

Ooh, this turned out GOOD.

Sums up how I feel in the morning after my first cup. 😆

Somewhere, Colin Robinson is having a laugh.

I feel attacked

This little guy scared the bejeebus out of me. Fell on my head while I was brushing my teeth this morning.

On duty today. Will never forget the moment I heard about the first tower being struck. I was scheduled to begin my tour a few hours later & my every thought was for those on that job. Rest in power.

Get you a partner that understands you this well. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who boldly joined us for Star Trek Day to honor the true meaning behind Star Trek, equality and respect. I hope the studios and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers will hear us, see us, and treat us with the respect we all deserve. 🖖

Feeling good, but not fluent. Time to start watching more Spanish TV.

Brava!

A vehicle accident is NOT how I wanted to be spending my vacation. Lady swung comically wide coming into the parking lot & smashed into our driver’s side door & wheel. Have to climb over the center console to get out on the passenger side. Thankfully no injuries, but just a total PITA. 😩

Anime BlueSky: The Promised Neverland is leaving nflix at the end of the month along with a few other series my daughter is watching. Hlu is also removing shows & the merry-go-round is driving us nuts. So where are you all going to get your streaming fix these days?

Not a bad way to close out the summer. 😊

Something something Raspberry Pi… Had a Kingston SD card die on me, so the backup image on the left card is being installed on the right card today. #BackUpYourDataKids

Kids have been loving this game their Aunt has. If you take the best parts of Air Hockey, Foosball, & Pong, mix them up & you wind up with this.

Thank goodness it’s FINALLY raining.

This is one of my favorite comics because I’ve heard from several people who successfully put out oil fires because of it xkcd.com/1890

August 23rd needs to get here already!

How to make an astonishing Pepper's Ghost illusion with a plastic cup lid and your phone. Going to try this with the kids tonight. 😀

This cute, smooshed face doggo has managed to figure out how to push the insert out of the way while she eats her dinner. Time to figure out a new way to slow her down so she doesn’t just wolf down her food & get an upset stomach.

Our family protecting your family. Thanks for the shoutout GMA.

The Oatmeal, killing it as usual. 🤧
