What are people doing this weekend?
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Natter 78: I might need to watch some Buffy for inspiration
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

'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"

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
My very exciting Saturday involves taking the car for its 5000-mile service, since (1) it's due, and (2) we leave for the beach in 2 weeks and want to make sure the car is in shape.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I got my car back from the collision repair place this morning, and I'm getting my oldest kid back from LA tonight! Babies returning home all day, woo!

Our wings are not tired.
Went to the gym with my sister and great nephew this morning. We have been going every morning at 9. Good to get into a routine there. I leave for FL this afternoon. Driving to my son's at 3, then he'll drive me to Albany. Flight at 7 via Atlanta, to get to Ft. Lauderdale at 1 AM. Then I'll get to see my mural in progress at home, MIL birthday tomorrow, then head to west coast of FL for my sister's surgery on Tuesday. This that and the other until I fly back Friday.
eta: RIP Dr. Ruth

I am at the NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway at a booth for ASH. Under a four-tent set-up thank the universe. It's a party up in here, but very chill. I just made the rounds to meet the orgs at other booths, but the sun got me after about five. Gonna chill and take another run later.
Lots of kids writing lots of notes -- well, coloring sheets -- which is fun.
All of the volunteer ladies who came with T are lovely, but one of them is SO shouty and talks a lot, so I'm practicing operating from a place of being grateful for all she does, which is a lot, and her genuine kindness. And then I thank the gods for my single hotel room at night. Bliss.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
at a booth for ASH
I'm pretty sure she means "A Soldier's Hands" and not Anthony Stewart Head.

Ha, ha, ha! Yes, dcp, thank you! But I would absolutely work a booth for Anthony SH. Just sayin', if it ever comes up.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I joined some friends Pokémon-ing at a local mall. I don’t remember the last time I was in a mall. I’d heard malls were dead, but it looked pretty busy, and not just with other people catching electronic beasties while hanging out in AC.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Did a short grocery run after lunch, then reshelved a bunch of books.(All of the book boxes in the living room are unpacked. Still have to finish unpacking the book boxes in the basement.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It sounds like someone took a shot at Trump in Pennsylvania. Maybe nicked an ear?
