I wanted to break in and say that I am 50 and I have internet friends. This is not so new, because I feel like a late adopter, because I didn’t really use BBS or IRC.
Yeah, a couple decades older so totes used BBS.
I regret to report that these store-bought berries are ass.
Yeah, I often regret falling for what looks like real berries.

In San Francisco you can get great store-bought tomatoes, because they're heirloom and organic.
Berries are more iffy. But if I go to Gus's I can get fantastic cherries and peaches in season.

Happy birthday to beekaytee! It was good to see your fonts last week and I do hope you have a delightful day, and that your new home continues to treat you well in the coming year.
It is also beth b's birthday, so although sightings have been scarce, I hope she is being spoiled this day and always.
I'm never sure what to do with the Buffistas on the official Nilly Birthday Calendar who may or may not be lurking. A couple days ago was also Cybervixen's birthday. I know she is well because I see her on FB. Too many Buffistas missed around these parts. Nilly also had note of anniversaries and Buffista sprog birthdays, but I haven't acknowledged them feeling I would leave it up to the individual to mention. Yes, I may overthink this stuff.

Happy Birthday, bk!!
Laura, I understand the overthinking issue. I think you handle this in a delightful manner, for what it's worth.
Finally over my ick from last week. Man, that'll suck the life of of you. I'd forgotten.

Ooh retirement! That sounds like an excellent plan.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Living in California is basically a cheat code for local/seasonal produce, though. Everyone else has to get theirs shipped from you.
