Why does the library let me take books home, I’m reading too many, I need to be cut off.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Ha ha my watch is so dumb. It thinks I’m “exercising” and not “going to the donut store”.

My son is talking about Kirby fighting "Meta Knight" but I was hearing it as "Mennonite" so yeah, I just had a really confusing 5-minute conversation...

I’ve heard that some raspberries have a fall crop but sadly, none of our many canes seem to be the double fruiting kind.

Sorry we were late. Our cat was being super cute and the cuteness needed to be appreciated.

I am at a festival for a music scene that currently only has one bassist. The festival is in a hilly forest venue and he runs the trails between stages to get to every set, carrying his stand-up bass. People give him beers and snacks as he passes.

Anyway, I have an idea for a new Olympic sport.

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

I really overdid the sitting yesterday and my hip is making me pay for it. Aging is just this but more, eh? Fun. 😅

This morning there is one Nobel Peace Prize winner, 8.1 billion or so people who did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, and one Nobel Peace Prize loser.

Just realized that I’ve officially been married half my life, as of a few weeks ago.
