Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

Thank you! How dorky is it to be tickled by my birthday being 2/22/22! If only I were 22, but 68 will do just fine.

Many happy returns of the day, Laura!

Having trouble picturing green and white checkered floor, Hec - big squares? And you have a couple of kitchens, right, so which one are you thinking of?

Something like this: [link]

An array of checkerboard floor appraoches: [link]

We'd re-do the flooring in the top floor kitchen.

I think that floor would rock, Hec! I do love green.

Thanks everyone!

Thumbs up on the checkerboard from me. Especially if you get some big ol' chess or checker pieces to leave lying around on a square or two. Not required for my approval, of course. Looking at the online pictures and mentally substituting a green and white floor is very pleasing.

Happy Laura day!

Hec, if you get a sort of vintage style floor, you MUST get a Hoosier Cabinet (this is how to build your own, but there are any number for sale).

And let me know - is Matilda claiming one of the turret rooms? they look to be something I'd have gone for when I was a teen.

I saw a report from the truckers in Canada. Seemingly, they're threatening to create a "convoy" and come to block the DC Beltway. Which, if you know about traffic in the entire area is kind of redundant.

Also, from a Toronto person: "Got to admit they put some work into that giant sheep on a flatbed. What are they going to do with it once they're done though? I'm picturing some sort of Wicker Man deal."

So, you announce your plans to the world BEFORE you cross the border into the US? When all of your license plate numbers have by this point been collected? Good job.
