Hmm, $54 for the double-oaked, not bad!

I asked ChatGPT to compare the size of Chesapeake Bay to the Great Lakes, and to overlay a map of it onto the Great Lakes region. This is the result. Yikes!

A badly-drawn map of the Great Lakes region with a ginormous Chesapeake Bay overlaid on it, and Kentucky labeled as "Varilia"

That Seafox, wow. Love the between-the-wars era in aviation.

Our last cat nearly strangled himself on his collar (got it stuck on one of those springy doorstops), so we've gone collar-free ever since. Violet is microchipped and of course we're pretty diligent in making sure she never gets out.

I just drove through Woodsboro yesterday, such a classic main street with nice architecture.

"Green Line trains running every 16 minutes". UGGG. I hope at least that every single one of these are 8 car trains, because they're going to be crowded!

Sounds more like a UTI. My old cat had similar symptoms once. We always used to go to Friendship, $$$, but good care. Good luck!

That’s a fun ride, I did it ~10 years ago. Did it rain today?

MrTinMD @mrtinmd.bsky.social · Sep 25

So awful, glad the planters protected your house, but ugh.

One of the insanity-inducing, flying parasites from the original Star Trek (Season 1, Ep. 29) episode "Operation – Annihilate!"?

MrTinMD @mrtinmd.bsky.social · Sep 25

That’s really pushing the Overton window!

Shingles? How about TDAP? My last one was in 2017 and think they’re every ten years, so I went ahead and got another.

A smart move, thanks!!

No catio, but @jerdlngr.bsky.social has been researching outside cat enclosures and might have some tips. Our neighbor has a tent like thing she uses.
