They often tended to be off-kilter compared to a typical human reaction.

"We're completely cut off and are probably about to die!" (big toothy grin)

Yup.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Catching up...

Ginger, I am so glad you had the board and friends close by that were helpful. If need be, I can come down over a weekend to help you with anything you need.

Work~ma and health~ma and let's-not-kill-the-idiots~ma to all that need them.

Travel is going to be crazy over the next two weeks. Why does everyone wait until December to get things done?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I checked in for our flights earlier, and Southwest said "upgrade for as little as $16". So I clicked through about three screens, and for 2 of us it would have been over $900. Hilarious, Southwest.

"upgrade for as little as $16

They didn't lie, they just stated the starting amount.

Where was the $16 upgrade seat, on top of the landing gear?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Technically, I hope all the seats are on top of the landing gear.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Above it, at least.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Newly-acquired knowledge I did not need but now cannot stop thinking about: Talenti makes peppermint bark gelato.

I need to finish up the last of the farmer's market ice cream so that I can justify buying some of this.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

My folks are not tech savvy, so an Amazon gift card wouldn't work. (They get books in e-mail, and transfer them to the Kindle. I don't know if they even have Amazon accounts set up.)

This is awesome: tardigrades, possibly the most indestructible animals in nature, have a genome that is 17.5% not-animal. [link]

They've picked up genes (by direct transfer) from bacteria, viruses, fungi and plants. They think it's from their best survival mechanism. Tardigrades can survive near-complete dehydration. But that breaks up their DNA, and when they rehydrate, environmental DNA can infiltrate the cells and get stitched in.

In conclusion, here's a picture of one. Awww, so cute. [link]
