Congrats on the upcoming grand nibbling, EpicTangent!

Question - when you butter your toast, if you butter your toast, do you make sure every single crumb is covered, end to end, or do you throw butter in the general direction of the toast and figure some will land? Or does whether something else is then going on the toast figure in?
I'm an every single crumb needs to be covered person, and it somehow feels like a "kid" mentality. I'm not going to change my ways; it just occurred to me as I was buttering my toast this morning that I wanted to survey people.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In the words of Food Network's Jeff Mauro, crust to crust is a must. What's the point of buttering if you aren't going to do it right?

This. I butter my toast because I want butter on all of the toast.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I feel like buttering toast has a lot of variables and is too complex a subject for me to get into this morning
I bet it was one of Larry Niven's Known Space stories that featured Pak Protectors
Hm, probably, that does sound like what I remember. That's basically all it was about, so whatever introduced them, I would guess.

The cleaning team from Cincinnati Hoarding is here. I'm in the bedroom with the kitty, because I can keep the door shut to keep him in here (we don't want him getting underfoot, or into a room with cleaning chemicals, or getting out the front door when people come in and out). This is moderately stressful.
But I do have to work, so hopefully that will be a decent diversion.

Well, I say "I have work," but I'm currently looking at Ruggable rugs online. Has anyone gotten a rug from them? I'm curious if they live up to their marketing.

Oh, here's something fun: Northside is *not* doing the 4th of July parade again this year b/c of the pandemic (even though the CDC changed their guidelines recently, the parade committee starts planning early in the year, so they made that decision a while ago), BUT they got inspired by NOLA's decorated houses for Mardi Gras and are going to do that this year!
I definitely want to decorate our porch, but I need to come up with a fun theme that's also doable for my meager DIY skills.
