@holon42 So glad groceries can be delivered. Not that I really feel much safer in my trailer, especially after someone came through with an assault riffle about a year ago, shooting at homes and cars at random. Sigh. Yay, America.

@earthshine Oh, that's her knight in shining armor leading her into a dreamy horizon. I thought it was an armed skeleton leading her into the realm of death. Wait, is this a "do you see an" old/young lady or dog/duck thing?

@Render Ahh, but we do. Our cells emit photons. You're glowing :).

@BrazenlyLiberal My lovely morbid imagination and anxiety have meant that since I was a teen I've been afraid of minding my own business and getting shot. Like, a little old lady will pull up next to me as I'm walking and I think she's snapped and is going to pull out her dead husband's revolver and pop a cap in my ass. I've had to calm myself down by reminding myself how unrealistic that is. It's becoming so much harder to do.

@CJLavoie Damn. Just saw that one of my personal icons (author of The Savage Garden and big carnivorous plant dude) is going into hospice. Bummer of a day. Hope Willie gets better, at least.

Looks like my oldest can't make it out in California, so now they're coming home. With their roomate. Joe's not working so he's home (contract work out of state, he saves up and comes home for a while). Youngest is at camp but will be home soon. That's one kiddo and four grown people. Four dogs. Three birds. A kitten. Y'all, this is a trailer.

@peeppeepcircus Awwe sweet babies :)

@ps9714 Thank you, so did my man. I spent a year in Santa Cruz. It was soooooooo much more fun.

@ps9714 It wouldn't be that bad to visit, and I do remember Norman being a little better. Growing up we mostly hung out at Denny's unless it was Friday. There was a gay bar that felt bad the goths didn't have a club so they had goth night on Fridays. My senior year a fun coffee house/dance club opened up, but then it closed again. Downtown was nothing but bars, if you wanted shopping or a movie, you were out of luck. I did hear they wanted to improve it though.

@BrazenlyLiberal @LnzyHou @Bix At this point, it's our own future. Agriculture is already at risk, my own garden has been struggling last couple of years. I've seen three springs in a row where the storms didn't come when they should, the water was in the air, skies overcast, but it was too hot to hit the dew point.

@ps9714 Probably because it's so cheap to live there, it's one of the few ways they can get people to stay. Well, I actually don't know how sucky it is the last decade or so, been in Tulsa, but when I moved away there was nothing to do but drink and eat. They were thrilled about using taxpayer dollars to bribe a Bass Pro shop to move in, hoping it would lure in tourists.

@ps9714 Did Oklahoma bribe them?
