100 Namibian dollars is $12.66.
It's so interesting that it's working so well. I don't know how you could try the same thing here since the cost of living is so much higher. I wonder what the comparable basic income would be here.
Well, you'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking, because my answer is the same as always — no threesomes unless it's boy-boy-girl. Or Charlize Theron.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yeah, I don't know how you'd figure that out, but the idea that everyone is entitled to enough of an income to subsist, just for being a live person, is very attractive to me. I hope it keeps working.

That's a cool program.

I have Y membership now. Whee? It's a nice facility, only a few years old. Pool!
One of the neighborhood cats was sitting outside the french doors (I have them open, screens shut) and wow! the sounds coming out of Loki! He was all inflated and WAILING! He's got such a high pitched voice, it's funny. Other cat just sat there, watching, nose to nose, unperturbed. This is one of the cats I've found on my porch roof (and scared the shit out of me sunday at 5:45, clawing at the bedroom window), my entry roof and specifically who has tried to follow me in. Ballsy little bugger.

Yay, pool! I just got myself a swim cap that allegedly will handle long hair, so I'm going to attempt to swim tomorrow. Also got goggles on the theory that maybe I can wear my contacts under them and see while I'm swimming, which is a totally foreign idea to me but I might try it.
Pushy cats crack me up.

Oh, I can't (couldn't? It's been a decade since I swam) go without goggles. Just because my eyes can't take it and I can't swim straight otherwise. I could go without a swim cap, most likely, with pins, since my hair is shorter than it was when I swam before. But not gonna.

When I had access to a pool with painted lane lines on the floor I could follow those okay without goggles, but I don't have that anymore. I have swum with my (decades out of date) prescription scuba mask, but it's packed away somewhere and even that level of being able to see was very strange. Good, but strange.

God, I hope swimming is as good as I remember it. I loved it; it just wasn't at all convenient once I moved up here. Too many logistics. But now? 5 minute walk away, if that. Full locker-room. Unlimited access. I no longer have almost an hour of commute. Almost more convenient than when I was in college.
And I'm liking to have my body working for itself again. Hadn't realized it was missing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Someone in my neighborhood has a kitchen timer that sounds just like mine. It's very confusing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Me too.
