That car looks very cool, but I wonder if you can just unzip the fabric cover and throw it in the washing machine when the bugs and mud of every day driving get splattered on it.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Cool car concept. I'm bemused by the passenger-safety-in-crash ability of fabric, though.
Unspecified -ma for Dana.
I'm with amych in the belief that some food pickiness is hard-wired, whether texture issues or latent and undiagnosed allergy or sensibility. And also in that lack of exposure can lead to resistance to trying new things.
StE used to teethe on frozen green pepper rings, his very favoritest thing. Hated onions, though.
Yay for new kitchens!
And Sue, it sounds like you should have coffee before you go in search of coffee. I'm sorry about the dangerous quest this morning.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
Dad update:
He was discharged from the hospital 2 days. He's understandably tired, but is up and walking. His diabetes is all frelled, and his blood sugar levels are crazy so they have him on insulin. But other than that, he's okay.

Well, its internal frame would provide passenger protection. Just like it does for cars with plastic or fiberglass bodies. (Saturns, Corvettes, etc.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Most children eat a wide variety of foods until they are around 2, when they suddenly stop. The phase can last until the child is 4 or 5. It’s an evolutionary response, researchers believe. Toddlers’ taste buds shut down at about the time they start walking, giving them more control over what they eat. “If we just went running out of the cave as little cave babies and stuck anything in our mouths, that would have been potentially very dangerous,” Dr. Cooke said.
Thanks for posting this! I knew pickiness was at least partly genetic, but I'd been worried I'd done something wrong because Annabel has grown more finicky over time. When she was 18 months or so she'd at least sample anything you offered to her. Now, NSM. It's not that she doesn't like strong flavors, it's just hard to get her to try anything new.

Good news on your dad, Kat!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm glad for the Dad news, Kat. Vibing for an uneventful recovery.
