🏳️🌈 Taken. Iowa-adjacent, across the river in IL. Seasonal naturist. Happily GenX.
For as much as I drive Interstate 80 for work, it's not often that I've seen it shut down in both eastbound and westbound directions. That's exactly what's happened over in Iowa today a little bit west of where I live.

Not fond of 05:00 wake-up calls. 11+ hours later I’m at a rest area sucking down a Mountain Dew to stay awake for the last 40 miles of the drive back after finishing today’s job 400 mi round trip. The second coffee didn’t help. Driving with windows open in sub-30° temps perked me up for about 50 mi.

My area is in the middle of a 24-hour period of falling snow, expecting at least of foot of it. I’m wanting to stay naked and snuggled in a warm bed but my two dogs are telling me otherwise.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
My favorite perfect album of that year will always be Sign 'O' The Times, but this is another one.

I’m not on board with this whole waking up thing. Can I just linger in bed all day and watch football?

I liked playing with this at the nearby five and dime store, where I would buy the multi-colored substance in a tube that smelled like permanent marker and came with the tiny straw to blow bubbles with it.

Just got back home from an outdoor orchestra concert on a very hot evening. Realized I had a nip slip all night, oops.

Work sent me to the western suburbs of Chicago, so after some post-work naked time to relax in the hotel room I’m headed out to get some deep-dish pizza for dinner. #mcm
