Did a second iteration for the Halloween colcannon, this time with regular potatoes. (The purple potatoes looked cool, but I prefer the taste of the Yukon gold or whatever.)
Mashed potatoes, garnished with Halloween-colored food items and a sour cream ghost.

Does it bother anybody else when people abbreviate the time zone PST when we're on daylight savings time (PDT)? Is it just me? AITA?

Question for the life-science kids. I think it’s horny-boy tarantula season. Any advice for seeing them? Should I go out at night, twilight, etc?

Learned recently that the Irish traditionally serve colcannon (mash potatoes and cabbage) for Halloween. Put my own spin on it using purple potatoes and carrots.
Mashed potatoes in Halloween colors, including carrots, shaped to look like pumpkins. There’s also a sour cream ghost.

Any guesses what the best weekday for Yosemite would be? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday?

Been here seven years, and I’m just learning about the bombing of Harvey’s Casino in Stateline back in 1980. That shit is crazy!

I’m not a parent, but I really feel like we should bring back Colorforms. They didn’t taste good when you licked them, but they didn’t taste bad.

A robot may not harm a human, unless the human has not yet reached their deductible. A robot must obey the orders of a human, unless the human is out-of-network. A robot must protect its own existence, unless such protection would conflict with the first two laws or is not pre-approved.

Just saw this clip from 1988 when a school newspaper editor asked Dolly what advice she’d give teenagers. “Act like it’s raining every day and wear your rubbers.”

She scared the shit out of me. I knew I was messing around her area, but I wasn’t expecting her to jump out of her hidey hole at dusk while I was collecting basil.

So, this little lizard is completely new to me. I think it’s Aspidoscelis tigris tigris, the Great Basin Whiptail, subspecies of the Western Whiptail.

Got sucked into some math problem videos on YouTube. Mortified that I no longer have the quadratic formula memorized.
