I've given up trying to watch astronomical events. You can pretty well guarantee that if there is anything significant going to happen in the sky here it will be occluded by clouds

@ProjectShadow mine was for less than a day. Here in the West Kootenays less than 1% of ticks are infected.

I think the shirt is real - the text is conforming to all the odd ripples in the fabric.

@CJShaneArtBooks probably did as they knew each other

@scottronaut5150 cool - it can be downloaded https://ia801405.us.archive.org/29/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.185162/2015.185162.Steinbeck-A-Life-In-Letters.pdf

@SpaceSlothForever Me too and we both had smiles when I told her how relieved I was. I have it in a specimen jar in my freezer now - have to wait to see if I get any bullseyes around the entrance point - if so return with specimen for Lyme disease testing.

Who knew John Steinbeck had a wicked sense of humour.

Oh joy, what way to start my day & no idea where it came from overnight. After my the shower this morning I found what I thought might be a fast growing skin tumor on my chest (hard for me to see it properly but it wasn't there yesterday.) Took myself off 2 emergency ASAP and the admitting nurse there took one look at it & removed it.

That's how they roll

Happy Birthday - have a great one

Who knew (I didn't) that there is a whole sub-genre of music based on a Lovecraftian take on Dolly Parton's son Jolene. this is great but her enunciation leaves a bit to be desired . Fortunately she provides the lyrics in her notes. Thanks to https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2024/05/on-the-lighter-side-the-eldritch-horror-of-jolene for the lead

@TheAbbotTrithemius It's real

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/arizona-abortion-ban-state-senate-repeal-vote/

Arizona's Republican-controlled Senate on Wednesday voted to repeal a Civil War-era abortion ban, one week after a similar motion passed the GOP-controlled state House.

Two Republicans, TJ Shopes and Shawnna LM Bolick, joined all 14 Democrats to pass the measure, sending it to Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs' desk

Well who expected this

@th3j35t3r That scene is definitely not for the sqeemish 😆

@_txgal All of them or all but two depending on the meaning

Played an Atari - I've played someone else's but never owned one

Listened to music on a boombox - same never owned one but have heard others

@dauphin87 hope you feel better tomorrow
