Why do they call it O Dark Thirty?

Posted on October 13, 2021 by A Dreamer

It’s Indigenous Peoples Day

Posted on October 11, 2021 by A Dreamer

Took too long to get here, and doesn’t make up for 500+ years of garbage, but it’s a start. Can’t help but wonder what this continent would look like if the Europeans had just exchanged recipes and left when they … Continue reading →

Farewell Professor Marty

Posted on October 10, 2021 by A Dreamer

I was in the car and heard on the radio that Professor Martin Sherwin had passed away – and I’ll admit I did a double-take – the name rang bells all over the place, but the person they were talking … Continue reading →

Posted on October 8, 2021 by A Dreamer

I’ve been using a LOT of alcohol wipes during the pandemic – I really prefer them to hand sanitizer as they don’t leak and are generally more convenient for me. Went up to Staples to get more today – they … Continue reading →

Yay, long weekend

Posted on October 7, 2021 by A Dreamer

Well, the day off is already off to a good start – woke up before my alarm, coffee has been acquired, and little bro’s birthday breakfast/dessert is here. (Seriously, if he’d asked for a three layer German Chocolate Cake, I … Continue reading →

Woo, it’s my Friday

Posted on October 6, 2021 by A Dreamer

Yay for PTO to burn and a reason to use it. (Still the weirdest work problem I’ve had in a long while.) Tomorrow is the Festival of Donald as he turns 29 yet again. (I am not old enough to … Continue reading →

Goooooood morning!

Posted on October 5, 2021 by A Dreamer

And we’re starting the day with the BBC covering our heinous treatment of Haitian refugees. I don’t understand why we can’t fucking help people, whether they’re from here or not. We have got to stop acting like people come here … Continue reading →

Hey, a good thing!

Posted on October 4, 2021 by A Dreamer

My county has dropped back into “substantial” Covid community transmission from high! Hopefully it will last more than 3 days. If the current trajectory actually holds, we could be down to moderate in ~2 weeks, and to low in maybe … Continue reading →
