I see this and raise you: Russia, Ohio.

Ah, the dulcet tones of a monthly tornado siren test.

There’s very few feelings quite like stepping off a plane to the wall of humidity after being somewhere where it is Properly Fall.

Ran a half marathon this morning (for the first time since the fall of 2023, somehow), didn’t die, would do this race again. Not looking forward to being at the airport at 4am.

Airport knitting (Fire Pink and Virginia Bluebells from @dyemadyarns.bsky.social)
A hand knit child’s sweater in progress. There is nondescript airport carpet in the background.

A month later they have finally come out and dug the hole for a new power pole behind the house (to replace the one that’s there) so they can add a second transformer.

You could have just changed the jewelry instead of taking it out. That’s not rocket science.

The holes aren’t always the size they’re “supposed to be”, your crochet hook’s hook is larger than the barrel.
.75mm hook is what you want for beading

Welp, at least I know what the rest of my timelines (and my day tomorrow) will look like..

Taper week: the one where I always pick up the weirdest injuries. (This time, wrist)(it’ll either be fine by the time I go to Maine at the end of the week or it’ll turn itself into tendinitis)

Almost always: a corner hit will do it.

Ou as in oo Shoup the road is ‘shoop’ (at least that’s the common pronunciation)
allisonswitzer.bsky.social
Oh I do get calls for the person who owned this house a decade ago about selling a house on Shoup Mill. You know they’re not from here because they can’t correctly pronounce Shoup. Also, she’s dead, I looked her up.

Yes to 2007, almost to 13 (I was 16). Best way to filter out spam calls still.

(To be fair, it was a doozy of an injury)(I don’t recommend it)
allisonswitzer.bsky.social
Ok but really, I’m still living the injury life (4 days short of) 9 months post ankle injury. What is this shit? I’ve broken my spine & not had it go on this long.
But a sprained ankle where the only tendon or ligament I didn’t do any damage to was my Achilles and 9 broken bones? Death, apparently.

Thursday morning run: the one that sometimes needs to be done entirely before the sun comes up.
A dark neighborhood street. There’s a mailbox on the left, and a hill that will break your soul ahead.

It was homecoming week for us, but it was a bunch of weird theme days (could have had a “dress like a dead president day” alas)(every school in the district was named for them) but homecoming also was always a girls soccer away game, so I never cared bc I never got to go.

We did it when I was in high school, but not before. (And it wasn’t widely participated in)

Easy: don’t make it complicated.

And when you decide that v6 is the final, change it to

Don’t name it final until it *is* the final.

The Cleveland Marathon’s response to a woman getting attacked while training for their race being a 7 slide deck of How To Not Get Attacked As A Woman While Running really fucking misses the mark. And says a lot about their organization.
Number 7: trust your instincts.

It was a slaughterhouse for week 1 scores in our fantasy league. (But personally I liked it)
