Health~ma to the teacup family. I'm sorry it has been a tough few weeks.
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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.

Thanks. ltc is really disappointed that we won’t be going to the Horror book festival tomorrow. It’s usually the highlight of spooky season for us.

Aw, that stinks, sj. Hope he feels better soon and that you all sail through the rest of the season ick free.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
And while the $98 seems high, $15 for 1/8 seems reasonable to me, (although while eating 1/8 of a muffaletta does make sense I somehow feel like selling less than a quarter is not right) so I don't even know
For comparison, I could get *5* 12" pizzas with mushrooms, olives, and extra cheese for the same price as one of these ridiculous sandwiches. ($15 for a lunch-sized portion of food is, sadly, a very normal price in SF or NYC, but that doesn't make it RIGHT.)

Well, now I'm wondering if my local pizza prices are high
My actual lunch today is turkey and havarti on whole wheat for approximately $3 if I remember my grocery run correctly

And sorry for the sickness rolling through your household, sj. Not getting to do stuff sucks, and being sick sucks

I’m sneezing today, which is a new symptom that I’m hoping is just allergies. If Francesca and I are fever free tomorrow I’m going to take her out consignment/antique shopping. Fully masked of course.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
There's a three-alarm fire just off of I-580 about two and a half miles due north of our apartment: [link] has details.

I'm feeling especially miserable and down today. I'm dreading the weekend.

Oh no, Karl! Do you have somewhere to go? Watch Duty is saying No Containment, that's troubling.
I hate it when the red flag warnings are really needed.
Just got an alert that forward progression has been stopped on the fire near me. Hope yours gets some control soon
