Did you post that from your iceberg, Tom?
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Punishingly Intricate
Man, my friend’s bar (& msbelle’s local) caught fire last night. Nobody was hurt but it’s looking like it will take a long time to recover. And such a shitty time for it to happen! This is the second friend to lose their business to fire in the past month here. Wtf is going on??

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes! Your poor friends!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yep super crapola. I have dinner and a margarita there almost every Monday. It’s a great small staff. The go fund me has reached its first goal, but they are all going to need several months of income.

Tough break for the bar workers and patrons.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I got out of the house very early and walked through a quite cold Panhandle to the bakery to get a croissant and treats for my neighbor. Decided to hit up Faletti Market, which specializes in...Legacy Groceries? Venerable old brands often from foreign lands?
Anyway, EM was complaining that she couldn't find Crown Prince Smoked Oysters anymore and Voila! I scored some at Faletti's for her xmas stocking. And I also nabbed Matilda's fav, the British candy bar, Crunchie.
I've made good progress on stuffing stockings, and most of the Nick and Nora pjs are rolling in with the mail.

I picked up some seed packages for stocking stuffers!
I'm having friends over tonight, so there's an apple galette on the counter, and I have pizza dough in the fridge. Hope everything goes okay and the dog doesn't jump on anyone...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It snowed here yesterday.(Apparently it's on the early side for this area for first snow) Not much, and it was all melted by noon today, but still, snow.
Ordered some Bluetooth earbuds. I had been meaning to do that for a while, but with two virtual meetings on Monday during work hours where I will have to take them in the stairwell, it's a good idea.(Neither are work related.)
