Overdoing my best. Never again a country without consequences!
There are pretty much always ulterior motives with plagiarism scandals. I wrote about it several years ago: kairos.technorhetoric.net/24.1/reviews...
I got my flu shot today, but I’ll have to wait a few days for the covid one; CVS had run out!
We had a Mississippi kite in our backyard yesterday and got wildlife rescue to come pick it up (broken clavicle 🙁)
I’ve had bad back pain the last couple of weeks. The only thing kind of helping is this massager from the 60s or early 70s that my dad got for my great-grandmother. She didn’t want it, and my mom found it about a decade ago and gave it to me.
One of the many charming details about Project Hail Mary was the way Ryland Grace would take off his glasses and just let them hang off his head. I don’t know why, but it makes him more believable as a scientist.

He’s had a spine for a while now; this is from right after the election in November 2024.
My mom did this! She even had a special device that helped it called a Slice a Slice.
South Louisiana Community College has these great small pantries all over campus. They look like newspaper vending machines, but they're not locked. I wish we had them here. We do have Campus Cupboard, which is more like a grocery store, but it's only open certain hours.
And this is the most compelling photo of a president and spouse I've seen.
An after school snack for my son, who’s a senior. He said he was “fighting the urge to eat it all right now” as I took the picture
