Not sure if I should laugh or cry over the fact the show successfully did a callback to the ER/Carter measles storyline.

(I remember watching it and thinking “wow these parents are DUMB”.)

Anyway. Like Noah Wyle, I’m old.

Man the top of the hour is REALLY intense at this hospital.

All that said, AS MUCH AS I AM LOVING IT, sometimes it feels like it’s pandering a little to much to the part of me that’s like YEAH YOU TELL THAT LADY MASKS ARE EFFECTIVE HANDSOME CHRIS PINE CLONE DOCTOR.

Then again, I feel like I need a show that normalizes these things right now.

I have cried twice.

It’s me. Give me some headphones and fancy doctor eye loupes and tweezers and disinfectant and I will pick out all the pebbles.

It’s a flat circle. Except Bush’s cronies were smart enough not to explicitly tie themselves back to it.

Dr. Ross was a messy bitch. But so was Carol.

Honestly, just about everybody in that ED except Dr. Greene.

I love to catch up on what Dr. Carter did with his career after entering witness protection.

Not mentioned is Zooz, who are having a decent sale on their Zwave products. I picked up a few, including an actuator that can receive notifications to turn off the house water valve if one of my detectors finds a leak.

Dunno if you’re into it, but someone on the HA subreddit posted a list of *actual* Black Friday deals on smart home integration products that work on local ecosystems (I.e, Zigbee, Matter).

While Amazon is mentioned, a lot of these manufacturers have better deals on their own sites.

Honeynut squash is hard to find, but they’re honestly my favorite squash of the season. Small and very sweet.

Delicata might also be good.

I uh. I like squash.

Absolutely not a pumpkin pie eater. Still end up making one each year for the kids and spouse.

Using roasted butternut squash instead of pumpkin also yields great results.

Food was good. Pass out now.
