I had the same reaction, Amy.
Sunflowers are creepy alien lifeforms--all those faces turning to follow the sun like creepy minions. (shudder)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Beverly, my parents have the same position on sunflowers!
Ugh, I am procrastinating so bad.

Aw, sitting still and turning my face towards the sun is one of my favorite things. I don't do it with a field full of others, though. Mostly.

I'm editing an article about the changes (read: increases) in gun purchases after mass shootings, and I have to look up the details about every shooting mentioned so I can verify that the article reported it accurately. About 4 pages in, I am super depressed and demoralized. Humans are garbage.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That is awful depressing, Steph. At least by verifying the information, it makes it harder for those opposed to sensible gun safety to pretend that facts don't matter.
At an earlier point in my life I was for a total gun ban, but as I've gotten older and (I hope?) wiser, I'm more for sensible gun control measures that work to keep them out of the hands of irresponsible people, a la car registration and driving licenses, and insurance.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Today it was sunny and around 50 F. Weird weather.

Ugh, Tep. That sounds awful.
I went out and picked up bbq for lunch, a sandich for lunch and ribs I will bring home for dinner and a small portion of bacon-wrapped brisket bites so I could see how they tasted. I am pretty happy with those choices so far, although I would like a nap a little more than i usually do at this time.

Just reading that made me start drooling like Homer Simpson.

They are, in fact, that good.

It occurs to me one reason people would be against gun owners needing insurance is that most straight white dudes would have the highest insurance rates! Like as a woman, it's be cheap, but a dude who was 25? Yeah, good luck finding someone to insure you having that gun...you could be a mass murderer! I mean probably not, but statistically...
