I'm simmering chicken stock for later, and boiling pasta for now. This means I have two chances to make the worst mistake possible, but each in the opposite way.

One of the things that most damaged my faith was realizing that King Théoden's rallying cry before The Charge of Rohan gave me the same spiritual feelings as worship music.

Drove by the Puyallup River tonight, and it's wild to see how high it is. Glad to see this.
Our colleagues at the @wanationalguard.bsky.social have been activated by @governorferguson.bsky.social for flood related activities. They’re filling sandbags, helping with road closures, doing rescue missions and more. #wawx

Once you realize Tolkien wants every heroic person or place name to be cretic (long-short-long syllable), you start seeing Tolkien names everywhere. Labrador. Pinkypie. Scoobydoo. Macklemore.

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.
