You are the first person I've seen in the wild to recommend OGoA. This makes me so happy!! I stumbled upon them via Kickstarter when they did their TTRPG and found out the writers are from 2 towns where I have also lived.

I'm seeing a meteor shower. Peak Perseids this week!

My husband & I call the ones out front like that "radar detectors". We are watching.

Also, we can't have actual radar detectors here. Waze reports are a godsend.

I love laser etched glass but it would show up much more on clear glass. So if you're set on brown glass, then left one looks better to me...from the picture. Now if it shows up to you in person enough that you can make out the motifs then, I would pick etched over heat printed.

"uncontroversial"

I don't think you know us very well, do you?

(that's purely Bugs Bunny sarcasm there)

Also, I think I need to put Montana on my roadtrip list. I've been fossil hunting near Kemmerer, WY and that was all kinds of fun!

This started me wondering why megafauna was extra-mega, like those bison, or wooly mammoths... could it be the ice age climate? Like how humans in say Scandinavia are larger because it's more advantageous in a cold climate?

And will humans start to grow smaller as the earth heats up, or are we offsetting that with our improved childhood nutrition and modern healthcare?

Now it makes sense why cocktails have little umbrellas! They're summoning spirits!

I think it's mostly crabgrass lol. I let the yard mostly do what it wants to, but I keep it trimmed to not encourage rodents. It could have some actual St. Augustine and Bermuda mixed in. It's also got wild strawberries, clover, ground ivy, carpet weed and other neat colorful weeds that I actually kind of like. The yard is too damn big to do battle with weeds and maintain a monoculture of HOA darling Kentucky bluegrass, so when you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

Spreeder! I love it!

The top of it is about 4 inches/ 10 cm in diameter.

I think all kids should be cautioned to not believe a single thing their uncles tell them.

 

Found this little eastern worm snake adrift at "sea" on my pool thermometer and airlifted it to shore. It must have entered ~~fight, flight, or~~ freeze mode, poor thing, because it was a good 10 minutes before it departed its makeshift raft.

PS, I do have escape platforms for critters in the pool but the dumdums never seem to use them. Then again, I'm obviously not getting to meet the ones that did find and use them.

PPS, I can't get over how teeny this little one is! I'm experiencing some acute cute aggression!

I done fucked up. I know some of my drink cups say handwash only, but I thought that was due to their vacuum chambers.

I assumed (wrongly) that these two bottles would be ok. They are clearly not made from whatever Nalgene is made from.

Meanwhile, I have some cheap vacuum wall plastic tumblers from Walmart, going on 15 years now, that I've always tossed in the dishwasher.

Also, I'm getting strong deja vu from my shrinky dink bottles. Have I done this before? Or seen a post on here if the same? I can't recall.

Edit: hello adhd brain, I forgot to provide details. Red 1L Nalgene for scale. The two bottles beside it used to be the same size before yesterday. ☹️

 

Going on about 2 hours now. My forearm is keeping her rump from rolling off the pillow. I can't feel my fingers. My diet coke is just out of reach. I want to play some Oblivion but she says I can't have my arm back yet.
