The neighbor just cranked an engine for a minute straight, and then off and on several more times before it caught & ran. I’m surprised that starter motor didn’t burst into flames.

Do protogens say “it’ll buff out” to each other when they sustain damage?

One of those nights where every singer on the commute home sounds like a coyote to me. Nick Drake, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond (!), Phoebe Snow, Jonathan Richman, all of em.

If Gordon Lightfoot was a wolf, Kris Kristofferson was a coyote. I mean, here’s a song where he’s hungover, lonely & singing about food.

I am, and have been since 1999, dumb money, a retail investor. Despite my best efforts to seek professional help, I still manage some of my own money.
I currently have random single stonk positions less than 2 years old that are up 26%, 29%, 31%, 35%, 106%. Be afraid, we are in a bubble.

I had a weird dream that a coyote snuck in through the sliding glass door and was hanging out with the cat under the dining room table. It wanted to leave so I let it out, and it joined another coyote & took off. I was worried it would attack me or the cat. I don’t know what any of this means.

The “problem” with this time of year is it’s foggy and cold during my prime weekend cycling hours. Literally a penetrating 47F-52F right up until around noon when the sun burns it off. Hard to motivate. 🥶

When an animal cleans their fur with their tongue, are they taking a bath or are they doing the laundry?

I worked late & came home to my inheritance check & a beer. It’s not large, maybe an oil change or one night at a fancy hotel. I’m trying hard not to look at it the wrong way. Hope erryone has fun at MFF, I’ll be watching from afar.

More amazing hybrid costume/puppetry stuff.
Suspension-of-disbelief level: even the cameraman points to stuff and interacts as if the character can see anything. 💯
What if this but werewolf?
