Happy 44th birthday to me! I have been gifted jewelry, baking pans, and neurotoxins! As always, I don't quite know how to be this age but I'm at least not going to LOOK worried about it.

Damn I really want to know what the original said and I would bet so much money they were using ALC? Which is a great online dictionary but occasionally provides some bonkers slang translations.

We successfully trick or treated, and I think the baby (2 years) learned some of the rules, but the last house had a really sweet audio setup and the wee beastie cared so much more about dancing on their lawn than candy 🥺

Completed babka. Alas, since the wee beastie has been refusing to eat anything for dinner that ISN’T chocolate, this is going to have to wait until tomorrow.

Map of US Interstate 75, showing it extending from Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan at its northmost end and Miami, Florida in the south. Along the way it runs through Detroit, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio, which are only about an hour apart.

• During the era of the Soviet Union, Soviet state television preempted announcements with video recordings of Swan Lake on four occasions. In 1982 state television broadcast recordings following the death of Leonid Brezhnev. In 1984 recordings preempted the announcement of the death of Yuri Andropov. In 1985, recordings preempted the announcement of the death of General Secretary Konstantin Chernenko. 11001 The final and most oft-cited instance of the use of
Swan Lake in this context was during the August 1991 Soviet coup attempt leading up to the dissolution of the Soviet Union. [101]
• When independent Russian news channel TV Rain was forced to shut down due to censorship laws caused by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the station chose to end its final newscast with Swan Lake in a reference to its use in 1991.(102] [103]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3eqkos7tuwqrrb4ftk4yluil/bafkreib4ceki2b34zfcdwavrpxwat2kbldkempfk2dt7ljfsqak2skhx2e@jpeg)

Fun fact did you know if you bake your sourdough in a pullman pan you’ll get a sandwich-shaped loaf instead of a boule but it’ll still be beautiful and crusty and rise wonderfully because of the lid holding the steam in?
