You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Punishingly Intricate

I think Zillow is possibly a load of crap, though?

Yeah, they are estimating my house at $70,000 less than the house next door--which is basically IDENTICAL to mine--just sold for a few weeks ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy shit, you guys. An ATM took my debit card last night (in an inconvenient location), so I just called my bank to get a new one, and he had already said he was cancelling the old card and mailing me a new one, when he told me it will take a week to get here! Now I wish I had put a little more effort into figuring out if I could retrieve it somehow. I'd better go to the bank tomorrow for cash. So annoying!

Dream last night: For a five-year old girls birthday, we took the transporter to an empty planet, and filled the lifeless oceans with primordial which would evolve into multi-celled life within a billion years or so. It turned out that wasn't what she wanted.

And Jesse, hope it proves less inconvenient than it sounds.

I mean, I have a credit card and probably $5 in cash, so it's not a crisis, but it's annoying!

I pasted the URL for the daily otter into a work email and almost didn't catch it before I hit send.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Hopefully the figures are further off at the higher end, but I just checked my parents' house on zillow and the estimate was within $100 of what the mortgage company assessed it at a couple of years ago.

I have two hours to make up working from home and then I'm free for the weekend! Pity I don't have plans.

Typo: sorry dream girl didn't like the present. Sounds fab!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I just went to realtor.com and looked at recently solds and it is possible the zillow price is off by $20K.

When I had it appraised a few years ago the zillow price was much higher than the appraisal.

What is even happening?

Hey Buffistas, so I'm watching MSNBC, when in the crawl on the bottom of the screen, I see this:

CDC: Passenger on a Delta flight quarantined for hours does not have Monkeypox.

There's nowhere else but here to go with news like that.
