  • Being in stasis is getting old. I moved into this house nearly three months ago, and I only brought minimal belongings in because it’s been 100F the whole time. I figured I’d have a few days in June to pack out, but, c’est la vie.

    Things are on the horizon … I fly to Arizona to spread my dad’s ashes at the end of October, and my ex-wife is providing ground transportation to AUS. The land search for the commune continues apace, but I have zero control over that.

    But for right now … it’s still 100F as far as the eye can see. We were hoping for a bit of a cooldown from Edouard, but it turned north.














  • This is definitely one of those “the longer you look, the worse it gets” things.

    At lower right, we apparently have a real-world option to turn off that damn noise. Moving slightly up, at the top of what appears to be a pneumatic lift towering to six inches are marshmallows or ice cubes. Both are an issue as they are known for not being pink.

    We have avocado-shaped markings on these … what are they, anyway? The one on the left literally has a pig snout and ears, plus something from Tron designed for a dog.

    To the right? The ultimate symbol of depravity (one notes Macavity wasn’t there). This is a rat who isn’t just evil (red … thing) but also poorly stroked. Can you imagine going through life with one or two points of white outline on your body?

    Rats, as we know, famously enjoy caviar, hence our friend at the counter both speaking and thinking about red spheres.
