It was pretty amazing. Literally 10 min bike ride through downtown to campus. 1 min jog to the trailhead. STEEP climb back up the hill home from work though 🥵

Just told one of my dogs that she is my everything, then the other one came over so I told him that he is my everything too. Isn't it great to be able to have 200% of everything?

Might be the best soup I’ve ever made. Black eyed peas, cabbage, carrots, smoked Cajun sausage, tomato, and Cajun seasoning and smoked garlic seasoning. 30 minutes in the pressure cooker

Niche geology-potter content… a little three piece columnar basalt sculpture. Wild clay with a bunch of coarse nepheline syenite from Arkansas (late Cretaceous) wedged in. Hopefully the feldspars will melt out a bit in the wood kiln. They’re manganese bearing so I’m hoping for some dark streaks

It's pretty incredible that of all the billions of years and billions of light years in the universe, I happened to find the two best things that have ever existed across all of space and time.

Breaking: Conservative fraudster commits a major crime by impersonating a federal officer to obtain a federal lodging rate. Hotel turns his criminal ass away (because who wouldn't?)

And then Hilton disavows the location for not aiding a criminal
