I am getting podcast ads for both Jim Adler, the Texas Hammer, and Bill Adler, the Texas Hammer (who sounds like a discount knock-off of the former), and shouldn't that make them each A Texas Hammer instead of THE Texas Hammer?

The various airways in my body are creaking and crackling and groaning as I breathe, like an old wooden ship.
The problem with being ill (besides, you know, the illness) is that I am an insufferably whiny baby when I'm sick, with no patience and no attention span.
So I can't even craft or watch a movie without wandering off to do nothing every 5 minutes.

*moves the "Days Since Chem Has Had an Illness* counter back to zero, with a sad trombone noise and a gurgling wheeze.
It's been a good run since Dec 2022. Guess I didn't drink enough fancy cocktails on vacation to disinfect myself. :/

I would have paid money for art cards or postcards of these stained glass panels, but alas.
These are the size of a standing adult, btw. Absolutely gorgeous.

I am once again begging art museums to sell me small copies of the art in their collection, NOT mass market "famous artist" shit I can buy everywhere including Barnes & Noble and other random unrelated items.

Today's lesson, after hitting up 3 yarn stores: deep yarn culture, including knit/crochet/weaving, but very little spinning going on.
Lots of options for locally grown yarn, but only one store had a small roving selection and it was all from the big commercial suppliers (Manos and Ashford).

I wondered why the beer cheese with my pretzel bits didn't taste very cheesy, and then remembered I pitched up at a vegan pub.
This is not a complaint, mind you, but I did forget to adjust my taste buds beforehand. It's a good sauce but not the cheesy hit my brain wanted.
Cider's good though. 👍🏼

You know the art scene in a city is wild when I have hit the "ok, may that *is* too many cards/postcards for one person who keeps promising to send mail but doesn't" limit before 3 pm.

Due to an overwhelming amount of Nonsense going on in the US farm sector, I am in need of a half-time to full-time video editor
Anybody know someone who is 1) real good at it and 2) not heinously overemployed already?

What good is hotel TV if I can't find endless returns of House Hunters International?
Or even plain old House "we'd like a 6 bed/5 bath on 30 acres for under $100k" Hunters USA.

Me, this morning: I don't wanna get up at 5 and drive to the airport, I wanna sleep in...
Me now: The leaves are turning color here and the weather is perfectly crisp, I FOUND AUTUMN! I'M SO HAPPY!
(Full disclosure, it might be the sudden influx of vitamin D talking...because I AM OUTSIDE)
