Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Our wings are not tired.

Please to send the ~ma to Memorial Hospital. My elderly aunt who I told you was having fevers has gotten worse and is now admitted to the hospital. It is her friends and co-workers taking care of her so I expect they are doing their very best. Still, she is old and I am quite worried.

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

This is the nurse, Laura? Lots of ~ma, in any case

It's very weird they were told they had to close though.

That's the part that is worrying me. Although burning papers in the courtyard and not letting the fire department on the property is also pretty strange.

I think I remember having a separate "return" button at some point but it's been a while. Like, decades?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Laura, I hope your aunt gets good care and recovers.

Lord give me strength. A friend on Facebook is asking whether a t-shirt (that he wants to buy) with a Miata on it under a rainbow and the text "I'm not gay; I just like Miatas" is offensive.

MY GUY. What the actual fuck. (Fortunately, almost every comment is informing him that yes, it is offensive.)

Because books.

At least he's asking? Yeah, I know.

Random hugs or waves or hair pats to everyone. It's so hot here my brain has begun to melt. Pretty sure I can feel it leaking out my ears.

Yes. I'm about to call my MIL, her sister, and see what she knows.

Dang, my brother just told me he got tear gassed and shot with a rubber bullet at the Portland protest last night. I'm actually still glad he went but yikes, another thing to worry about.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Shit! Those things are blinding people all over.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Laura, tons of ~ma to your aunt. I hope she fully recovers.

Ouch, -t. How is your brother doing today?

Coding and Sleeping

But really, I've enjoyed the SW animated stuff more than the movies recently: the last six episodes of Clone Wars season 7 was excellent. (I have no interest in watching Anakin Skywalker be a whiny jerk so I basically only watched the Ahsoka eps in the final season, and those were great.)

I've watched some of the Clone Wars and, yeah, Ahsoka seems like the most interesting character of the show.
