I bet the Coralville Trader Joe's makes a million dollars off people bribing/rewarding their kids after appointments at the adjacent medical clinic. Today I anticipate about 38 of those dollars will come from us.

Today I saw a one-antlered buck in my yard, and a bit later a smaller buck with a smaller one-antler. I learned that it can be genetic. I am filled with hope from the knowledge that ol' One Antler found love. He is my new Rudolph.

Today I went to a child's funeral, and on the way home I had to drive next to a cybertruck for half a mile. It was not a good day.

One thing I would recommend is don't be friends with sex pests/sexual assaulters. Pests of a feather rape together.

Much as I have to constantly tell myself that aging is a gift and wrinkles are part of the deal, the snow on the roof is a reminder that, for the moment, we still have winter. Enjoy it while it lasts, friends.

I joined awhile back and was following people willy-nilly from the small pool of users at the time. I'm following more as the userbase grows, but right now I have the weirdest feed that's 30% epidemiologist/local hero @eliowa.bsky.social, 40% @flavorflav.bsky.social, and 30% my actual friends.

I like the term “sex pest” because it’s like mosquitoes: sometimes a true threat but usually just annoying; you’ll go to great lengths to avoid sleeping in a room with one or more; a little demeaning in an earned and funny way.
