You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

When I was visiting my sister's family for Christmas, my BiL offered his hockey skates to his daughter's boyfriend. All well and good, except the skates had been in the garage, unused, for a few years. And when the boyfriend opened one of them up to try it on, about a pint of freeze dried mouse poop fell out of the skate and went all over the carpet.

In conclusion, ewwww, mice.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cash, I don't know how you managed to birth not one, but two hackers. I fear for you.

I very strenuously sat around this afternoon. And ate what I consider the island's best fried fish. It takes a long time to prepare, but they do walk the fish in right from the dock for you. And then you take it out to an uninhabited cay¹ where you eat and drink for a couple hours under the sun.

I have spent the evening uploading pictures and video from yesterday (still have to do Christmas Day and today) and generally catching up on the internet. Talky meat. And unreliable internet connection.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

IME, cream cheese works better than peanut butter for mousetraps, but that may just be for Brooklyn mice who like a nice schmear.

The mice that were in an apartment I stayed at in DC were immune to poison. It was hideous. They were like super mice. Shudder.

Nothing is worse than noticing a stray fringe and finding a nest of baby mice in the scarves in your bottom drawer. Nothing.

Have you ever had a cockroach crawl down the skin of your back?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Worst contest ever, you guys.

Have you ever had a cockroach crawl down the skin of your back?

Why YES I have. And not one of the tiny cockroaches that you have in California, but the big fucking flying dive bomber cockroaches you get in Hawaii. It was while I was in the bath as a kid which was a whole 'nother indignity.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cash, I don't know how you managed to birth not one, but two hackers. I fear for you.

I'm sort of hoping it helps them in the end. They're not afraid of tech and are learning by doing--which I think is best.

I could live to regret it, though.

Worst contest ever, you guys
