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.
Good Place extension, still amusing.
It is!
I'm still scheduled for 4PM to start recount stuff, but they still don't know if they will be ready because of the machine issues. They also want us to bring our cell phones with the reporting app loaded because they can't be sure we will have internet access and may have to use cell data. I'm impressed with the recount team's efforts to anticipate and cover a variety of contingencies.
Why Did No One Think Of This Department: the Park's new water equipment is rated for 800 lbs pressure. The homes, however, can only deal with 500 lbs. pressure. Now there are burst leaking pipes everywhere and the water service is off for the day again. Good thing I am at the back of the park and my home is unaffected.
Bad news: the peanut butter spring traps caught nothing at all last night. Also I have two more drawers full of stuff to clean up because apparently lemon grass and sesame seed is delightful to rodents. Auuuuugh. I can't even. I have boxes of kitchen ware all over already.
The GOOD news is that my Dad will be flying into SFO on Monday. I am so anxious to see him. He has survived the impossible once again. Without modern medicine he would certainly have died from impacted small bowel with some perforation. He is just about unkillable. He had lymphoma and lived, bowel cancer that returned, a heart attack and the time he went over the handlebars of his mountain bike and broke his clavicle, cracked a rib and bonked his head. Oh, and a motorcycle accident in the 70s the grown ups tried to keep from me so I wouldn't worry (I so did).
So I will be thankful this holiday season because I still have my Dad.
I'm sorry, Sheryl, but glad that it wasn't worse. There's a lot more blind spot than you would suspect for some cars, so don't beat yourself up too much.
Oh! And in fun passenger news, I had a double-amputee young woman on her way to work. She had a neat wheelchair where the wheels came off easily, and then she showed me how I could lift the body of the chair so that it fit over the front passenger seat -- much easier than using the trunk.
Plus she was able to show me where the accessible entrance to her confusing building was, because of course the GPS shows you the wrong street and entrance.
I like it when I can feel useful when I drive people places. :-)
You come from hearty stock, Katie Bee!
She sounds like a very capable person, Theodosia. Competence is so sexy.
This Bay Area air quality is some BULLSHIRT.

It's really causing JZ and Matilda a fair amount of distress.
It's snowing!
It's too early for snow here in NYC.
Also, the new sushi place that opened downstairs is yummy, except now I'm still hungry.
My lungs haven't recovered from the constant smoke this summer. It took far too long for me to get over the idea of looking weird for wearing a mask and start wearing one.
