I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm finding more dead cockroaches. If ever there was a motivation to keep the dishes washed and the counters clean...

Do they get into things like mashed potato and pasta boxes? Oh dog, my cereal!

ION, Ply ran back in with a giant WTF on her face coinciding with a weird sneezing sound. Went outside assuming it was an animal, heard it a few more times out of sight up the hill. Started thinking it was a neighbor doing carpentry until I almost-saw something large dash by opposite of where I was looking, and then I saw it. The tall murky figure amidst the trees.

A deer. Making sneezing sounds. I never knew they communicated by sneezing.

We were once deeply freaked out while camping by a sneezing deer. (Should be a goofy mystery story: "The Deer Sneezed at Midnight."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I was just scared to death by a racoon sleeping in my garbage can! I put some boxes in on top of him and he ran out into the wooded area behind my house. I screamed like a bansheem

Heh. We were just talking yesterday in the office about the many things dogs use sneezes to communicate. I wonder what the deer meant to say.

I wonder what the deer meant to say.

"Goddamn ragweed."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

“Not dead yet!”

Lewis is tentatively looking for a new job. Several of the positions he's (very tentatively) looking at would mean relocation. Which is entirely fine by me. Especially since most of them lie due west.

I'm... cautiously optimistic?

Tino update: yesterday he sent an email at 3:45pm saying he was rearranging the table assignments for the (110-organization strong, fills-a-ballroom) orientation fair. We were to expect the new assignments before 5pm. He sent the new assignment email at 7:30pm. The next fair is at 9:15 am today. TINO FAIL!

this is the real Tino, right? Because it's such a Tino story, I'm having trouble remembering.
