Yes! It's still raining! I watered the plants with my mind.
"How did you know?" said the guy, REALLY confused.
That is fantastic.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ah, the denial, deflect, and then accuse the accuser of something. Classic.
And they always wonder why we know the pattern.
Well done with the rainmaking, Jesse.
That is awesome, Theodosia.
Morning randomness, my neighbor Omar is Peruvian and whenever he goes home he brings me back chocolate, because he is a most precious neighbor! Which reminds me that I need to bring him back some maple sugar treats when I head back.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had a dream last night that I was watching the Buffy reboot and it was so nice to have a full-on watch'n'post again. (In my dream, Buffy was a faceless tiny blonde girl who was riding on a futuristic Hogwarts train towards an unspecified Hellmouth. When she got off the train she had the scythe and a dramatic swingy coat.)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Nice dream, Jess.
Why is everyone trying to make my headache worse today?

Sitting here in the mountains with all my windows open enjoying the cool breezes and watching stupid scary weather in so many places. Fires, earthquakes, blistering heat, floods. For all those experiencing Mother Nature's terrors, I wish I could send some of this lovely weather your way.
I live next to the road so I have traffic noise, which is less than serene, but I opened all the windows when I first arrived and I haven't closed them yet.

Today the air is officially unhealthy for everyone, not just the kids, old folks, and asthmatics. My apartment smells like old campfires, and my throat is burning just sitting at my computer. Today's my day off since I worked Sunday, and I was going to do errands, but I've just ordered groceries to be delivered, and I'm going to hit up Grubhut for lunch delivery. The primary smoke plume from the current big fire in the state is visible from my building, and the air quality in the canyon closest to it is at 242. Unhealthy for all people starts at 151.
The air was actually getting better, too.

Yikes, Connie. Here I am complaining about sticky weather.... ::slinks away::

Here I am complaining about sticky weather.
It's just a case of an entire state grimly repeating to itself "Winter is coming."

Mmm, food delivery. What brave new world, that has lunch delivered to your home so you don't have to get up off your ass except to answer the door. With added leftovers.

The voting discussion here reminded me that I won't be home for the Florida primary so I ordered an absentee ballot. In my 46 years of voting I have always done so in person. So a first! Honestly, I don't trust Florida to handle mail in ballots properly so I like the reassurance of seeing my friendly poll worker neighbors and watching my ballot go into the scanner. But not going to fly home just to vote in a primary, so mail-in ballot it is.
