New guy at work is freshly out of the army. He was telling a story about some stupid shit he went through in training and turns to me and says, "Sorry if this brings up any Vietnam flashbacks for you." VIETNAM FLASHBACKS. Worst part was I don't think he was trying to roast me.

I dunno, stick the author in a room with this darling and I bet they'd figure out how to bring Misery, errr, Bond back tout suite.

I usually come home for lunch and Deanie and I have a nice pet/scratch session. Missed lunch today and when I walked through the front door after work she came flying down the hall meowing all the way. I missed you too, Deanie cat 😻

Played two rounds of fours today. Played like shite in the morning but better in the afternoon. One of my bowls was even a part of us tying it in the last end. Then we went on to win the tiebreaker :-)

Every now and then I think maybe I've been too harsh on not talking to my brother and then I check his Facebook feed and see a meme with the twin towers burning and the caption "New York, You Forgot" regarding Mamdani's election and am completely justified in not dealing w/ his fuckery.

Friday morning roll call. Nine pūtangitangi / Paradise shelducklings out of the pond and on a field trip. Can barely call them ducklings anymore, they're getting their adult feathers and are so big. #Paekākā

When Rocker first came under fire for his reprehensible remarks back in 1999 (?) a guy I worked with who had previously been in the Braves minor league system w/ him said "He wasn't racist at all" But... the guy I worked with was 100% racist so that testimony didn't help much w/ me.

Got my hair cut and my stylist was telling me how she saw a person driving a car hit a pedestrian right outside the salon. Somehow the story ended up with how the new bike lanes have made everything worse. I can't with these people.

Walking to work this morning and I heard my nemesis tūī from last summer, ugh. At least it was closer to work than it was to my home so maybe it'll stick around there.
NB- I LOVE tūī! This one drove me nuts w/ the same three note call for hours day & night.

I was wearing my Baltimore Bullets t-shirt on my run this morning and I passed another woman wearing her Baltimore Bullets t-shirt. I swear sometimes I think Wellington is just Smalltimore South.
