I may not read books while at work, but on occasion test searches end up being major rabbit holes. #librarylife

New office suite decoration. Yes, that's a little green alien wedged into a notch on a deer antler. (Accidentally set up on anniversary of Roswell crash, even.)

Just out of a 90-minute meeting. *flomps over*

Penalty kicks are sooo hard to watch. Even when I've got no skin in the game.

Since late afternoon yesterday we've been getting spring-like rain. Chains of thunderstorms, but nothing severe. It's confusing, but so good. Since we didn't really have spring this year and were in need of the rain.

Regularly find myself looking for this #map so posting here for reference: https://brilliantmaps.com/cities-transposed-latitude/

It shows North American and European cities transposed onto the other continent by #longitude. Helps me with relative distances, as well as weather-related confusion. Seeing that London's on a line with southern Canada helped with that a lot.

While out running errands, went past the veterinarian's office with the statue of a large black dog in front. They've got it decked out in an Uncle Sam outfit. Problem is, it doesn't look like it's wearing a beard at first. More like it ate an elderly Cousin It.

First cantaloupe of the season! And I was too late for okra last week, so first for me of that, too. Tomatoes are three heirloom varieties. The one Tie-dye in the middle, two Cherokee blacks on the right. Can't recall name of the two on left...[something] Blue.

Ok, Hearts of Space is over. That means it's time to go tot he farmers market. 👋

@_knives_out_ Happy birthday! 🎉

Dear sleep,

Why so fickle?

No love,

Our art museum's film society does an annual screening where we all get to vote for a film, but don't know which one's won until the night they screen it. This year will be a Charlie Chaplin film. Of course I voted for The Great Dictator.

Last night I was pretty sure that I'd made one of my best potato salads ever. Having the leftovers for lunch confirms that yes, it really was that good.

Only...I don't know what I did differently. In fact, I'm pretty sure I made this almost exactly like the previous batch a few weeks ago.

Maybe a fairy added something to the dry mustard? *shrug*

I just learned that the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble exists, and my life is better for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWgeDGsEFI8

Filling out this month's leave form and managed to type 2008 once and 2016 five times before even noticing that I was getting it wrong.
