WAT?! 😵

I guess that's one way to ruin several classic films in just a single paragraph.

@fribbledom I so wish I hadn't just read this. Better to know, I suppose. 😬

@christianselig I just donated a machine just like that. I put it up on CL for half what it's worth. Had one guy offer me even less, which I agreed to. He never showed up so screw it--to the thrift store it went.

Good morning, friends ☕ ☕ 🐕 🐕 💞 💞

Thanks to @ingalls for the reminder that May 18 is the anniversary of the Mt St Helens eruption (1980), and it's worth marking that day.

We had moved from Yakima to Wenatchee a few years earlier, so got the reports of 'darkness at noon' by phone from my grandma who was still there.

This ⬇️ is a US Forest Service photo, taken at 1:30PM on Yakima Avenue, Yakima WA, on May 18 as the ash cloud passed through.

@amyfou I was living in Idaho at the time, parts of which got coated. I still have this souvenir baggie of ash that one of the local fast food joints was handing out with a meal purchase.

Reverse view of plastic baggie containing Mt St Helens volcanic ash. The label reads: "WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE MOUNTAIN BLEW?"

And now a very exhausted Laffy must go do more loading of Mr. POD. I'd say Ms. POD but she's coming for the furniture next week. She took the week off, like any smart POD would.

@GottaLaff I am SO glad that I'm ditching all of the furniture this move. One simple call to the thrift store asking them to send the truck. And a couple of strongbacks to load it, of course.

    Fuck QR codes! I went to the DMV this morning, and they've replaced their 'take a number' check-in system with a giant QR code poster. I told them my phone doesn't do those, so they had to check me in manually. I've never once used those damned things and I'm not about to start now. 🤬

    to this day, i have no idea what rhubarb tastes like. it's been for so long one of those weird things euroamericans eat, that am afraid to taste it and be ghastly disappointed in my notion that, yup, doesn't taste good at all.

    @blogdiva Still warm from the oven, rhubarb cobbler with melty vanilla ice cream on top. By FAR my favorite dessert of all time. In fact, here's my mom's recipe for anyone that wants to lose their mind over the deliciousness. 😋

    @cstross Time to throw my 2c into the ring! Anyone born from 1954-1965 is neither Boomer nor X. As a card-carrying member of Generation Jones, I can honestly say that I have just as much in common with both of those groups--which is not a lot in either direction.
