I'm watching a cooking video and I can hear @chefreactions.bsky.social in my head

I hate 3 a.m. There must be some brain chemistry toxicity at 3 a.m.

Hmmm. Snoop is a judge on The Voice this fall.

Thank you for not letting it go

Thank you. I've been waiting for the right comment on that and this is it

But at least we have mosquitoes!

Not to be confused with the teeny black flies that hang around your eyes and nose and ears and leave a huge lump when they bite you on the back of the head

Just no

@mackaracka.bsky.social We jinxed my Subaru entertainment system. I've had intermittent problems before that spontaneously corrected, but it's really jacked up as of yesterday

We're mostly past fly season. Those things are awful up here

THIS is the kind of nonsense going on over on Twitter? Weirdos.

I was recently thinking about the fact that when I was a kid, my mom would put a piece of white bread in with freshly baked cookies to keep them soft and I wondered if anyone else does that. She'd also put a bunch of butter on the heel of a loaf and use that to butter corn on the cob.

I wanted white or silver or grey. Green. Blue and red and black were not on my list. I'm one of a zillion, though. There are plenty of red Outbacks up here

There's a warranty extension on the entertainment system. It just randomly... stops working. Literally goes dark. I'll be glad when manufacturers go back to knobs and dials. I don't like having to "read" the screen to turn the fan down or whatever
barbjackson (@brendajackson.bsky.social) reply parent
That's what I drive. For some reason I'm not emotionally attached to it, but it has been reliable. I paid way too much for it two years ago when inventory was really low (low enough that my choices were blue and red).
barbjackson (@brendajackson.bsky.social) reply parent
Okay, that's cool

My friend died four months ago (today in fact) and at the time there was still snow and ice on the two-track on which he died, and today the leaves are turning. Short summer has never been more evident

It's a pretty day here, but cool
barbjackson (@brendajackson.bsky.social) reply parent
I don't (didn't) follow you but you showed up in my feed and I wonder where you're going and was it planned? I went back a couple of weeks in your time line but it's not clear - lots of recent travels. It looks like you were in Florida so congratulations if you're leaving there.

Nice. I had the 3000 different possibility thing going and barely solved it

My mid-80s yo dad was visiting recently and while setting up his new used phone I happened to see the first line of an email from his asshole wife that said, "go trump! That man is on fire!" and I can't stop thinking about it
