Just a small hobbit from Woodhall in the Shire (Landroval). Notable smart-ass. Lover of pies, cats, & otters (but not at the same time or combined) Note: I don’t care about my follower count & I do not automatically return-follow. Quality over quantity!

Just one of many reasons folk from the Midwest say “16 hours by car, sure I’ll drive. Who’s getting the snacks?”

Despite the temperature outside, I always loved this day. It’s the one time in the year you can sleep in an extra hour without anyone giving you a hard time about it.

I need to put these up around our campus. Very few people pay any attention to the traffic signs here. I wish I could be shocked that department heads & elected officials are the worst offenders.

Someone in my neighborhood got FED. UP.

A stop sign. Under the stop sign, another, red rectangular, sign is affixed. It says "Actually stop. Like, for real."

The only good thing about our open enrollment ending today is I get can these @$$#0!€$ stop pestering me about it. I keep telling ‘em I need to wait to see the OH’s insurance plans before I can do anything & their open enrollment doesn’t start till November. It’s always a tight window for comparison

That’s what I was wondering too. Over the years I have known a number of people that were homeless for a period of time but still had jobs and were neither on drugs nor needing psychiatric help.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.

Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.

If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

D’oh!
Correction… it was a narrow boat. Not a long boat. A minor typo in my grief.

But now I have an image of her and Timothy at the helm, their son Samual West at the prow of a Viking longboat, about to attack the coastal town of Torquay.

“BASIL!!!”

RIP Prunella Scales 😭

While I loved her as Sybil. I really gained much more appreciation of her while watching her & her husband Timothy West running their long boat through the canals of Great Britain in Great Canal Journeys.

She will be missed.

Good morning surf! Time to get up! My food bowl won’t fill itself!

Close up of a black cat looking towards the photographer demanding food in the early morning. Very fuzzy out of focus background shows the end of a bed and crowded dresser in the background. The first rays of light are starting to come in through the window signaling it is in fact too damn early.

So apparently it’s National Black Cat day. Here’s my lil void cat barking out orders to feed her treats and only to her since her sister’s don’t deserve them.

A black cat staring just off camera. Her mouth slightly open in the background there are a few out of focus maps on the wall.
