Rained like the dickens all night and now it is not raining.

Which for once is bad, cause we have an afternoon thing we have to do, and I do not WANT to be in the field this one time because it is gonna be sandy loam soup out there.

Maybe I can convince supe we're better off inside

There is a power corridor right through our block....*ponders* AND grape vine. Though no where near the corridor because our guys keep that shit tidy

I’m still thinking about that roast lamb with pomegranate molasses that I had last night. Some of that needs to find its way into a pita with tzatziki today, I think. Since the whole country is closed for Easter Monday, I’ll have to make the pita myself, though.

If you have a wok with a clean bottom, and a gas burner to invert it over, you have the makings of a fine Saj for baking pita on. You even get that little brown spon in the center.

Similar situation here, thinking about leftover lamb and tsatski and pita later........ I've never made pita (because I can purchase pretty good versions here), but have heard repeatedly that it's relatively easy.

Really not looking forward to going into work today. It's the first day back after a week off (for all of us, not just me), and this week is going to be a mess thanks to my boss's boss deciding at the last minute that our term didn't end when we thought it did. It's possible we won't even be able to take attendance this morning, because the system still though the term ended before our break when I left. Add in the beard trimmer mishap yesterday that means I just look and feel wrong, in a job where I have to be around dozens of teenagers, and this is going to suck.

It's just cries for love, those teenagers...

Oh God, I remember when I got a bad haircut once and had to go teach the next day. Kids are so mean.

Expand full comment

I misclicked a setting on my beard trimmer, made one pass with it, and realized I had just shaved off a whole chunk of beard. So I had to shave the whole thing off, for the first time in a decade or more.

I would blame Skynet.

tell em you had to be fitted for a SCBA as part of your Hazwop training

They won't know

Expand full comment

That was the only reason I shaved my beard for twenty years. Well,not SCBA but a respirator for my applicator's license. As soon as the fitting was over, it was already stubble again and I haven't shaved since, thirty years later.

No matter what they say or how they snicker, remember that you MEANT to do that. Keep

them guessing; you're the teacher. (Pro teacher tip.)

Most of my kids have severe self-confidence issues, though they'd never admit it, so I prefer to be honest with them. Seeing an adult fuck up and admit it has value, too.

Tell them you lost a bet.

Oh absolutely, and that's nicer too: whatever works for you and them, that's the ideal.

Oh good luck! LOL

Thanks.

After the mistake, though, it was this or mutton chops, so I think I made the right call. It's just going to feel weird for a while.

Fucking NYT made Connections all emoji this morning. Would have been less of a problem if two of them hadn't failed to load, leaving two spots blank.

Expand full comment
author

I tried letter box and got it after 2 false starts.

Expand full comment

What?

Expand full comment

Connections is a game that usually gives you 16 words, and you have to put them in four groups of four. Today, instead of words they were all emojis. And two of them didn't load, so you had to figure out two groups without knowing which was which. In a game where if you make four mistakes, it locks you out.

Expand full comment

Oh, that sounds fun!

Expand full comment

It's my wake-up game, and has been for a while now.

Expand full comment

It's part of my routine, also, too, but my order is a little idiosyncratic. Wordle, Spelling Bee, Tiles, Letter Boxed, Connections, Mini.

Expand full comment

I kind of enjoy that game, because of how they clearly try to put in words that are going to trip you up, but emoji thing is something I'm not even going to try.

Also, one the occasions I've been locked out, I hate that they don't just go ahead and show the connections sets.

Expand full comment

That's odd. When I crap out they show them to me.

With me they're just like, sorry! And here's how long until tomorrow's puzzle!

Also, when they tell me I'm off by one, sometimes I think they're lying.

Weird. I'm playing for free, so it's not like it's a perk for subscribers.

On the thankfully rare occasions that I find myself close to running out of chances, I just look up hints. Mashable has a nice layout where their first hints aren't even the correct names for the categories, just something relatively close to the categories, which is almost always enough to get me to see what I was missing.

See if you can tell which one is which, and which one is an actual "Christian" message:

Well, since you asked specifically which one is an actual "Christian" message, that would be the one that says this:

"𝑀𝐴𝑁𝑌 𝑃𝐸𝑂𝑃𝐿𝐸 𝑇𝐻𝐴𝑇 𝐼 𝐶𝑂𝑀𝑃𝐿𝐸𝑇𝐸𝐿𝑌 & 𝑇𝑂𝑇𝐴𝐿𝐿𝑌 𝐷𝐸𝑆𝑃𝐼𝑆𝐸"

That is "Christian" but not Christian because it violates one of what Jesus said were the two most important commandments: love God and love your neighbor. To see those principles in action, we turn to the other message that contains this:

"𝑊𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑛𝑑... 𝑤𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑤 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑚𝑖𝑡𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑝𝑒𝑎𝑐𝑒, 𝑠𝑒𝑐𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑦, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒."

DAMN did Turkiye kick our asses in voter participation! 76% to weaken Erdogan's grip, meanwhile for us the 2020 election was the first to top 60% since 1960! (those Catholic Presidents, man, they get out the vote). And last year the Turkish people did 87%! We really need to motivate more people to vote.

Cruel and unusual punishment.

Expand full comment

It exposes two significant issues in America:

1. The uncontrollable greed of the wealthy ... screwing poor families out of more money? which exposes the real problem, which presents the questions ...

2. Why does a jail need more funding? Why do we even *have* private prisons? Why do incarcerate so many citizens? Why wasn't this a problem during that "golden age" of America that so many people wish for?

Answer: Because our wealthy citizens and their companies PAID THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES.
