"'Work with cattle once, and you’ll understand why we eat them,; Darweshi Saidi muttered to himself" -- Chis Maddox, Devil's Outpost.

“Why would we have to punch out of the shuttle?” someone down the row from Devlin,sounded like Kinnebrew, asked. “You mean like a crash?

How many licks to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

Tonight's Word for the Night:

Chivvyy (v)(British): to tell someone something repeatedly.

Basically, "Food price too high vote other party", the same thing we see costing incumbent parties across democratic nations regardless of their ideological leanings.

Dune Prophecy series starts tonight on HBO Max.

Welp, filled a 96 gallon yard waste can for garbage guys, and only cleared less than half my side yard of leaves.
