Yesterday's thing (of which I was irrationally afraid) involved being a van driver for a group of students from AILDI* out to a camp in #SaguaroNationalPark West in order to learn about the O'odham traditional saguaro fruit harvest, bahidaj.
I don't like driving, and I really don't like driving groups of ppl...but wow it turned out to be a beautiful evening!
first cup of coffee ready to drink, and the pups are having their morning chewies
This afternoon I have to do a thing that I'm irrationally afraid of, so obviously it's gonna be a weird one over here but it'll probably be good in the end.
As we sort out our plan for the day please enjoy these pictures of Patches the guard llama who lives in Montana. I got to meet him last summer, and he is a lovely guy; also, llamas have ...strange ... feet.
#Gracie and #Niko are enjoying a tiny morning tussle and I'm getting ready for another day of weird academic writing tasks because...that's how we roll over here.
Last night the dude and I had the great good fortune to see a thing that made us laugh so hard we couldn't breathe (to be fair, we were punchy). Start at 30 seconds in, or watch the whole minute and a half...
#GoodMorningFriends β β π π π π π π as we're starting our day, I've added the Wall Street Journal to my morning news scan, because I can access it thru a uni-sponsored subscription.
And my advice for you all is PLEASE never read the WSJ 'opinions' section. Wow. Just don't. It's...I mean today they have dershowitz...
...yeah. Just don't do it.
Instead, maybe you'll have some good doggos or kittehs or friends to talk to?
today I learned that there is a Blep Bot @blepbot and the bot overlord hand very kindly curates the bleps and I am so happy to live in the future like this!
