Our smallest ferret used to nap in the inkjet printer, which didn’t do the jets any favors. Pretty sure this isn’t the problem with your printer though.

That sounds wretched. I seem to remember this happened before but not the resolution. Here’s hoping you are on the mend soon!

Ah yes, that was us last week with Highly Annoyed Nuthatch in the Skylight. Turns out the old Plastic Cup and Cardboard trick works for birds too - you just have to scale it up some.

I’m getting my RealID in a few weeks and you may have saved a life today. Different state, but no guarantee mine is any more flexible than yours. I will inundate them with paperwork!

It’s my favorite story collection and I dip into it frequently (not just for my beloved “The Redoubtables”). I really hope we get another collection, maybe with “More Tomorrow” - “FUCK YOUUUUUU DEVONIAN” gets shouted a lot round these here parts, gotta say.

Oh, that sounds interesting - will have a look for it. In return, may I offer “The Intimate Desert” by Walter Collins O’Kane (1969)? Observations and encounters with desert wildlife and plants, plus charming illustrations.

So much to love in that update!

Fingers crossed! Tonight I learned I’m the proud grand-badger of a barred owl family. Knew the pair hung out in the big tree, but I just heard the babies for the first time! A nice antidote for the thousand baby starlings all day long.

Would you like some MORE pigeons? I will happily ship you a dozen or so band-taileds.

The t-shirts actually said “I Rode The SLUT.” We are all 12.

Pondering the idea of disasters and ER visits as “minor,” but glad to hear it wasn’t worse? Take care and get some rest!

It’s a terrible year for big leaf maple seedlings here. Think of all the little helicopters on the ground - and each one wants to become a tree. Any tiny amount of dirt will do. Sometimes more than one per square inch! In every flowerpot. Between deck boards. On the coir doormat!

The dark side of this is where you have a lot of things and you give them to your...not-friends. We had a Hyacinthoides hispanica problem. S dug up the biggest ones, potted them up and gave them to his enemies at work who thought they were pretty. He doesn't work there anymore but that's not why.

The Void Ascendant

…sorry, I’ll see myself out

Nobody knows better than you that I can’t RPG at all, but I’m still buying it out of solidarity!

Waiting for my preorder to arrive! You are an automatic preorder for me and I know I’m not the only one
