Can't ride my speed limited e bike so I walked to the library and saw a Lamborghini that's apparently capable of going 9x the city speed limit.

if your seatpost clamp has multiple bolts and your STA is like 60 degrees you're gonna have problems (and not just with your knees)

When people talk about bigger cities merging with weird small ones I think about how my new city (Mahtomedi, pop 8k) has another city (Willernie, pop 500) inside of it. And then inside of Willernie is an island of more Mahtomedi.

I woke up with post vax chills so I let the cats out into the catio at 0330. Big mistake, I had to listen to screaming mice all morning. Also, Bobby got his own and ate it (former stray cat skills) but all four younger cats teamed up and couldn't take down a baby that I rescued and set free.
A large black cat passed out on my lap.  He ate a mouse and is full.

Forgot I planted this. It's nice to be pleasantly surprised two years later by an 8 ft tall native plant. Probably Large Flowered Gaura, which is a biennial, unless it's a wild volunteer then it could be biennial gaura, which has large flowers.
Large flowered Gaura, a native plants with pretty flowers but otherwise looks like shit

Cats need a different word for when they're carrying an animal in their mouth than the word they use when it's a toy. I do not need to get out of bed for a teething ring.

I don't like the localized environmental damage from all these attacks on oil pipelines and tankers. That oil needs to be burned so it can poison the air and hurt all of us.

My buddy (not jokingly, he just didnt pay attention/care about things) when we saw Fellowship in theaters while Harry Potter was showing and HP fans cosplayed it up. "Look at these nerds. Who the fuck is Gary Porter?" Anyway if everyone was like Eric, JK Rowling would be too poor to be evil.
