“aldi emergency quiche” counts as pie, right? my sinuses are packed like they’re going on a long trip and i’m trying to decide when to take my next covid test, so it’s splendid isolation meanwhile pour moi
Foster #1 (Border Collie) did not eat her dinner last night. That's not super unusual; she is a bit high strung and may have been on edge due to the wind. Because there are two other dogs in the house who would happily finish it for her, I picked it up and put it on the kitchen counter.
This morning, the bowl was empty.
I've mentioned before that I am a relatively new cat owner, having inherited three cats when my stepmother passed away. While I scooped out new kibble for foster #1 and her pals, I bogled at the idea that one of the cats (who are absolutely not allowed on the kitchen ounter) would eat 3/4 of a cup of dog kibble. I free-feed them -- and filled the dispenser last night. Cats is weird, right?
Except I was not right in this case.
Enter Foster #2 (Yorkshire Terrior). Turns out the cats aren't the only ones using my comfy chair as a highway to the forbidden counter. This is all supposition; I haven't actually caught hime on the counter yet, but I have prevented him from making the jump many times. Unfortunately, I already fed him his breakfast, so it was too late to adjust the potions.
I remember "Pipe Guy" from ads in 50's-60's guy mags (as opposed to men's mags) like Popular Science and Mechanix Illustrated. I think they supported a whole town's worth of freelance DIYers. OK, may be a village's worth.
I didn't remember it was Pi(e) Day until Wikipedia brought it to my (and everybody else's) attention yestereve local, so I quickly scrawled "Pie" on my shopping list, between "Olive Oil" and "Rum." All listed goods secured this morn, I sit here now with a piece of pie (blueberry) and a cup of coffee (hot).
Possible X account of missing general William McCasland claimed fellow general was murdered over nuclear material
The account @tmbspaceships claims to be run by a “retired 38-year active duty” United States Air Force with a PhD in engineering — listing the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), the Air Education Training Command (AETC), and Air Force Material Command (AETC) as places they’ve worked.
The account shockingly claimed just months before McCasland’s disappearance that Maj. Gen. John Rossi, who allegedly committed suicide in 2016, was actually murdered because of refusal to hand over nuclear material to private contractors.
I have to go. We are in between snowstorm. Yesterday blew in 8", and tomorrow is supposed to bring another 18", with wind. Mrs. Toomush is laid up with a broken leg in front of the tv, and I am out of Mount Gay! Luckily, the Twin Lakes Store is only two miles away, next to Rippling Rapids golf course and the Dirty Duck!...
Just hours after Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers missed their first full paycheck amid the ongoing partial government shutdown, President Donald Trump took to social media Friday to demand that they “go to work” regardless, issuing those who do a “promise” to repay their dedication.
“Keep fighting for the USA. GO TO WORK!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “I promise that I will never forget you!!!”
Talking of constants:

Very pretty kitty!

I awoke to a mystery this morning....

Cats are still weird, though.

Fuck. Why didn’t I make pie?

It's hard to go wrong if you know how to play a banjo. Ask Steve Martin.

"World Citizen" has a good ring to it.
Like how, while reading her for shit, he still apologized profusely and repeatedly nonetheless; must be part Canadian!
Sir:
I send a rhyme excelling
In sacred truth and rigid spelling
Numerical sprites elucidate
For me, the lexicon's full weight
If nature gain
Who can complain
Tho Dr Johnson fulminate?
(The number of letters in each word correspond to the first 31 digits of pi....)
You MUST be a genius.
excellent!

Great. Now the Broligarchs are reeeaaaaallllly packing.
Summer tortie! Yum. ♥️ She's beautiful.

Hey, I know those things!
Hang in there! Spring is coming.
Good lord! Quick, get more rum!
Hey, TSA, what's a Trump promise worth?

i don’t see the word “pay” in there
If all TSA drones refused to show up they'd get paid the next day.
Solidarity forever...
Meanwhile, area food banks are gearing up and there are reports of TSA workers living in their cars.
How can you forget what you never remembered?...
it’s not “having an eidetic (photographic) memory,” which no adult person has ever been proven to have
Fine, *you* go tell Ivanova. Don’t blame me if you end up on permanent space-fungus-scraping duty or something.
Maybe not eidetic, but my friend Charles (now gone) could recite passage and page from any book he'd ever read. And, he'd read a lot...
