Well that's a kick in the balls. The ONE TIME in my life it may be possible to see the aurora from central New Mexico and it's FUCKING CLOUDY AND RAINING.

Made dinner reservations in Santa Fe for the boy's upcoming 19th birthday. He requested we go up specifically as we have spent the last 10 or so years doing just this for special occasions. Santa Fe is still magical for us. :)

He also requested we visit the violin shop while there. I think he wants a viola as even full size violins are now too small for him. He is a beanpole. Long and lanky. But he can tear up a string instrument. He's pretty good. :)

It's really a shame the worm died. It probably would have been more reasonable.

The worst part in this whole Stormy Daniels saga for me is the part where she overcame enormous challenges in her home life and earned a full ride scholarship to Texas A&M because she wanted to be a veterinarian, but couldn't go because the associated expenses were too much.

This is a TRAGEDY.

This also holds true for every kid who has the stuff to make it to university, but cannot because of shit like money.

How many doctors and poets and other genius have we missed by concentrating on sending the most mediocre fuckers on the planet to school, instead of people like her?

Hundreds of thousands. Millions, probably.

Disgusting.

Oh, and to those of you who have been kind enough to ask, I just got word that the house showing today was 👎🏻. This day can’t end soon enough.

Once more, huge shout out thank you to @GottaLaff for aggregating and live posting the various reporting on the trump trial.

It saves me so much time having to flip between reporting.

It's so nice.

Macron says China has agreed not to sell weapons to Russia.

Will believe that when I see it.

Okay, this might sound weird, but this is what I'm thinking of today. I'm assuming most of you know the idiom, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth." I know it's about looking at the horse's teeth to check it's age and health, but in my heart I have an alternate history where it's about The Trojan Horse, which doesn't really even make much sense, but it's still living there rent free.

So, does anyone else do this, make up alternate histories for words or phrases? If you do, I'd love examples!

Told the hubs to pull anything he has at stack overflow, and his response was, "That place has been full of garbage for YEARS. I never go there or contribute anything."

Okey dokey then. Heh.

You know why nobody talks about “garage inventors” anymore? Besides the fact that nobody can afford a garage anymore, it’s also due to changes in patent law that congress approved that largely cripples small inventors with a “first to file” rule that makes it way too easy for big companies to basically make off with any good idea by patenting a defensible variant using their biggest advantage: lots of money to spend on lawyers.

It is so fucking insidious how Facebook in particular has tricked business owners into thinking a Facebook page or Instagram is a proper substitution for an actual website. There is a crochet designer I love, but she is ONLY on Meta products, which means I CANNOT SEE YOU BECAUSE I DO NOT GO THERE.

Fucking leaving money on the damned table because you refuse to make an actual site.

Bad business, that.

I'm not interested in Mother's day until every woman who wants to be one, can and every woman who doesn't, shouldn't be forced to.

Until we are all full citizens, shove your fucking flowers.

I dated a guy for about a week when I was a teenager and I just googled him and found a YouTube video of him doing standup comedy which is interesting because I don’t remember him being particularly funny and the video serves as proof that he still isn't.

Yup. Better off with bears.

Explained the bear v man meme to the hubs. He shrugs and said "yep, bear. Men suck."

You see why I married him?

I gripe about New Mexico and trying to get anything done, but credit where credit is due. Maggie Toulouse-Oliver, our Secretary of State, has done an incredible job fortifying and modernizing our voter registration and voting systems. I was able to change my voter registration online in 5 minutes. Securely. Big fan.

I’m clearly going to need to get a hutch for the kitchen. Looking online, I saw some nice ones from Wayfare, but I’ll be damned if I’ll spend one penny on something from a business that provided bunk beds to the detention centers that the Trump administration put the stolen immigrant children in. So I’ll keep on looking. Suggestions for something under $500 with drawers, a shelf and cupboards welcome.

Went out front with our measuring tape and decided we will build a shipping container shop to one side in the front of the house. The house really isn't anything special curb appeal-wise, but a shop would add tremendous value. We have tools. A lot of fucking tools. :)
