Willow ,'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The problem with putting out the garbage the night before is that we have lots of skunks and oppossums...
I was going to say bears, then I figured there might not be a big bear problem there.
Lids on garbage cans, even good ones, are not so much help with bears. Except special bearproof ones that come on heavy-duty metal cans bolted to the sidewalk. Those significantly reduced the bear problem downtown.
ION, I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but this is sooooo cute! [link]
I love the name of Willie Nelson's new song: "Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)"
I think it's the brackets that get me.
This kitty's gone to heaven...
Thank you SO MUCH for the Pixies earworm.
I was JUST coming here to post that!
ION, some co-worker brought in leftover Valentine's Day cupcakes with, like, 10 inches of frosting on each cupcake, and even though they're leftover, they're still really good, and I've had 2 so far and am riding a SERIOUS sugar buzz. I anticipate an ugly crash right around the time I hop in the car to go home.
What's the name of that website that monitored and checked the accuracy of claims made during the last presidential election? I swear it was mentioned during a debate, too.
When I lived up in the mountains at a telescope facility, our trash cans were the metal sort. Mounted off the ground in custom built holders (to keep the bears and raccoons and mountain lions and skunks and whatnot from knocking them over,) had the lids custom filled (so as to be heavier to prevent raccoons from knocking them off) and a chain looped through the handles on the side and the lid handle (to prevent the raccoons who were involved in doping scandals and the occasional bear from lifting them off.)
We routinely were picking up trash. Those raccoons were scary smart.
Yeah. Bears and raccoons will get into just about anything. My town ended up buying these special cans that are bolted to cement on four corners and you have to push a lever to open the lid. They seem to work pretty well, but if I remember correctly they costs thousands of dollars each. I saw some like ours near Seal Rock in San Francisco.
Wild animals. They're not just cute and cuddly.
Factcheck.org?
That looks like the thing. Thanks!

It's a cover, so the song itself isn't all that new.

Don't forget the moose. Champion lock-pickers, those ungulates are.
