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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My phone (and the Alaska credit card tucked into the phone case) have been turned into the company, but not until we were on a plane back to PDX. As soon as I got home I opened up the find my phone app on my ipad and by golly it was mapping to a location that a quick search confirmed is Waymo HQ. Phone call to them confirmed they have it, but can't/won't ship it, someone has to pick it up in person.

Yay that it's there, boo that they can't send it! The robocars are weird.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I saw Jess three weeks ago, but I didn’t recognize her at first because her hair was a different color.

"We changed our hair!"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Any SFistas willing to go on a mini adventure to 200 Toland St (Toland btwn Hudson and Galvez) and then ship an iphone to PDX? I will, of course, fund all shipping expenses, probably send you a lil treat from the PNW, and take you out for drinks/dinner next time we're in the same zip code.

I can get it for you. It's just past Mission Bay where JZ was working / getting her first chemo.

You can designate me as the pick-up person tomorrow. Just let me know who to talk to when I get there.

Do you have my number? 415-377-0627. I will edit this out later after you have it.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Just watched the YouTube stream today. Despite being there, it was lovely to watch since all my speaker wrangling meant I actually missed a fair amount of what people said. Also, slideshow! David, thank you for getting Lukas to set this up.

It was a precious day and I'm very thankful that so many were able to share it.

Erin, I can probably do this tomorrow. Any Buffistas still in town who want to join me for a walk through Potrero Hill? Among other things, you can see the other crooked street (Vermont). Forewarned is forearmed: it's a long walk and hill is right there in the name!

ETA: Took too long to write that I guess!

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

Rest for those that need it.

Easy travels for those still in transport.

Punishingly Intricate

I made it home with no travel drama yesterday, thank goodness! And I was able to sleep some on both legs of my flight and was asleep before 1 Eastern last night and am up reasonably early today. Early enough for my schedule, anyway.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

And I was able to sleep some on both legs of my flight

My mom and stepdad are in Scotland for 2 weeks (once again, my 78-year-old mom is 100% my retirement role model), and when they arrived, she texted to let me know they got there and said "[Stepdad] snored in my ear the whole way to Heathrow and I couldn't sleep. I don't want to start vacation by killing him but I might have to."

I spent so much of my weekend in front of the tv.

Bridgerton S3.1 all
Dead Boy Detective all
Mare of Easttown 3 eps in

My brain wants stories, not work. Hoping to listen to audiobook over lunch to appease brain.

The very tall gangly young man in the seat next to mine in the last leg was asleep the whole flight and slumping way too far into my personal space. Zero stars, would not sit next to again.
