Virginian turned Washingtonian turned Californian come full circle to Virginian again. Getting reacquainted with southern accents and being called ma'am a lot.

More evidence for my theory that a corgi cross always ends up looking like a corgi dressed up as the other breed.

Made Italian sausage this morning with a pound of ground pork. Tonight, cooked it up with onion, garlic, red bell pepper, celery, carrot, and kale. Poured in a jar of marinara sauce and served it over some rotini. Broke no culinary barriers whatsoever but damn that was tasty.

But I was told MAHA was all about getting "chemicals" *out* of processed food. 🤔

Once again, GenX gets no love.

I feel the need to have that shirt (not that exact one because that one belongs to Racecar, but one of my own). Where can I obtain one?

Anyone born before 1989 likely only had one MMR dose as an infant; worth checking. You can get your titers checked, or just get the shot. (I started college in 1988 with only the one dose, but since the requirements changed to 2 doses in 1989, I needed the 2nd to start grad school in 1995).

With Gmail you can also add a + and put additional characters. I do that sometimes with vendors / mailing lists so I can track who sells their emails. So I might do email+retailername@gmail.com and if I get email from anyone other than that retailer, I know the source.

I had to do that when I moved from one city to another and needed to set up service with a utility I'd used in the old city (*cough* Xfinity) and they insisted that I needed a different email address for the new city's account even though I am the same person doing business with the same company.

I have never had a reaction to any vaccine, ever. Even shingles, which everyone warned me about. I wonder if some of that is genetic because my 88 and 90 year old parents, as well as my sibling, are similarly unbothered.

IIRC it was reading THICK that led me to following you on the socials, and after many years of doing so it's probably time for a re-read!

I get pretty fucking sick of people assuming romance readers are stupid to be honest. As someone who works on the history of romance, who teaches romance, there is always so much going on. Reflections of and on contemporary society, questions about love and relationships, about gender...

It's gotta be connected to their definition of "real" rape (scary boogeyman who grabs you and pulls you into the bushes to rape you at gunpoint) and their fantasy of being the one who will protect us from that scary boogeyman. Everything else isn't real (the rape or the protector role).

Yep, though many may have gotten their second in order to start college. I started college in 88 with only one, but to start grad school in 95 I had to get my second.

"Automatic meeting scheduling is so simple, let's automate that!" And they wonder why the first available time is 6 months out; because they don't know about all the back room shuffling and negotiations that the admins do to get everyone critical to the table within a reasonable time frame.

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

Idaho has the city named Ponderay, on Lake Pend Oreille, named after the indigenous tribe that the French called the Pend d'Oreille. All pronounced roughly the same.

The 50s, whew. Where every so often I still want a big plate of French toast (and not the kind made with my high fiber bread), but my body says "but what about the energy? What about the poop?" and I'm back to two eggs and a multi grain English muffin again.

15) All in all, glad we went. I doubt I'll be one who follows the festival around, but if it's within a few hours drive again I'd probably go!

14) Virginia Beach when it's in the 60s, damp, and very windy is very reminiscent of San Francisco summer. The number on the thermometer is deceptive: you will be cold and want all your layers and they won't be enough.

13) Willie gets points for still doing the thing at 93 and being the heart of the event. His voice ain't what it used to be, but he's still a GOAT.

12) Mellencamp kinda felt like he was doing a competent John Mellencamp cover act. It was ... fine, but I didn't get the sense that he was all that into being there.

11) Neil Young literally played the strings off his guitar on Rocking in the Free World. Got the requisite crowd pleasers in Harvest Moon and After the Gold Rush, nothing bad to say about his set. I do wonder what 24 year old Neil would think about 80 year old Neil out there performing Old Man.

9) More people should know who Margo Price is. I thought that after seeing her at The Jefferson in February and I still think that after seeing her yesterday. 10) It was weird hearing Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs do note perfect Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers songs without Petty on vocals.

7) The logistics were on point; early on, the stage crew was consistently doing 5 minute turns between acts 8) At the risk of pissing off his fans, Dave Matthews has a kinda weird stage presence, is pretty mid and I dunno, I just can't get into the jam band vibe with anyone.

3) New to me artists that I really loved included Ty Myers and Mon Rovia 4) Favorite sets overall might've been Lukas Nelson and Sierra Farrell 5) The lineup needs more women 6) The 25 to 45 minute set lengths meant that every set was tight, that helped keep the energy up!

Random thoughts on my first Farm Aid concert: 1) 12 hours is a long stretch for this middle aged body, but also 2) I'm glad we got there early because we enjoyed the up and comers even more than the old farts who closed out the show.
