Gardening

Just down my street there is a yard that has done some desert xeriscaping, but I do wonder nearly each time I walk by if he got his saguaro cacti legally (I do not know if there are any special protections on them, but I have heard about people being arrested for trying to steal them from their ...

This Weather Sucks

Sorry, but I had 71ºF (22ºC) today, AND it had cooled down from 88ºF (31ºC) yesterday.

Y'know, if you throw that snowball at me, I WILL only like it.

<sigh> That had been one of my dream cars. I have absolutely no idea if it was actually any sort of good car, but when I had walked home from school during junior high school, there was one parked on the street along my way home. <SIGH>

Why the hell am I holding on to this old ass Macbook?

I had 5 MacBook Pro (including the M4 Max I am typing upon that I bought on Dec. 31, 2024, by the expectation that the prices for ALL electronics would go up YUGELY with the incoming Trump administration), although one of those MBPs I sent down to uki in Venezuela via UPS. It was my last Intel-based ...

Pets!

Sadly I have no pets because I know I would be much too negligent to be a good or even a bad owner.

My brother and my sister have a dog each. I do enjoy each of them when they come over (or when I go to THEIR houses), but I know that I have a somewhat variable time limit after which I will be ...
