Often a lighting issue, as long as the relative humidity is within spitting distance of 50%. Aim for roughly Cattleya light levels.

Grabbing a badger out of its burrow and holding it up to view its shadow would be A Lot More Exciting.

Yep. One of my favorites. I love the color combination.

I hope there were at least a few people sledding on trays liberated from UNC cafeterias.

Oof, that’s rough. I was lucky the one time my heater gave out. I noticed in time and had a few days to move everything indoors before it got really cold. Wifi temp monitors with alarms have been a game changer.

Peanut butter. The only time I ever ate peanut butter willingly was while camping in backwoods Haiti, and it was eat the peanut butter on lard crackers or nothing. (I had foolishly not brought any marmite.)

In that context, are ghosts wispy incorporeal things like British/American ghosts, or are they still solid enough to fight like the draug in Grettis Saga?

Is there some way to comvince people who would shell
out 10K for blood cleaning that donating at a blood drive is what they should be doing because it takes out old blood and lets your body make brand new blood?

I call the one on the right a rubber knife, but my wife says I’m wrong.
