Our wings are not tired.

Eww, tacos sound much better than sulfur water.

Enjoy Colorado and the family! I hope the dogs settle their differences quickly.

Feeling like it was meant to be bringing my son up here. Yesterday he told me that his closest friend from his Florida job is now Covid positive. He looked right at me and said he knows he would have been too if we stayed. This is the guy who gave him rides home from work and hung with him before shift. (and yes, son is 28, but very underweight, vapes all the time, and crap immune system) Also, he finished orientation and starts full time today. $2 more than he originally thought because of his desire to be 2nd shift. Also bunches of potential bonuses and incentives. He is looking forward to it.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Laura, that sounds good. Congrats to him (and you).

In other news, some people have been locked down too long.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Glad to hear that, Consuela! Oh, Clone Wars, I watched several seasons but then didn't. Ahsoka was always a favorite, I wonder if I can jump back in, or figure out where I left off or something...

Aw, Theo, that's unfortunate. I hope you can get some rest and the sulphur smell does not portent demons. Was it X-files where people got asked if there was a smell of brownies baking? That would be better. Get on that, universe. After some other improvements, of course...

Hooray, son employment and awareness! I hope his working 2nd shift won't mean you driving in the middle of the night, Laura

I woke up this morning thinking I really want to go to sleep so it's not going to be an easy day, but I have coffee-ed and will now attempt to get on with it as best I can...

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I didn't watch all of the Clone Wars, but I did go back and watch the essential Ahsoka episodes, so that I could follow her story in Season 7 and Rebels and also because she's rumored to (spoiler) show up in the next season of the Mandalorian .

NERD FIGHT!

Return and Enter are 2 different keys

Also, I definitely enjoyed The Mandalorian and watched the whole thing.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

That sounds very promising, Laura.

Yay Colorado trip! I hope the pups chill quickly and you enjoy your time there, Consuela.

I enjoyed The Mandalorian. I'm looking forward to the next season, whenever it can safely happen.

They finished shooting Season 2 of the Mandalorian before the shutdown, so it will come out on schedule November-ish.

Oh, thanks for that link, Scola! Exactly what I need.

In the ongoing saga of "what movie are we living in, again?", the Chinese Consulate in Houston TX was ordered to close, after which people were seen burning papers in barrels outside:

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

Now I fully understand why "May you live in interesting times" is a curse.
