@blanketracheler.bsky.social This looks like something Rebelle would try.
This pup managed to sneak her way into a joyride with an unsuspecting delivery driver. Popped up to ask where they're headed and if there's time to get a pup cup on the way. 12/10 (TT: copperdoesstuffs)

We moved 4 miles. I stop by old house daily to check on it (will list Jan). Our admin had new address and it's in co records; boss used old one and sent birthday cookies. They stayed fresh because it's very cold here. What a treat! He called me Fri to say how glad they were I worked for them!

If you’re stuck at Delta, they typically follow Rule 240, which was a law that required airlines to book you w/their competitors, at airline expense. This is when it’s the airline’s fault (not weather, govt shutdown, etc.). Be polite. Say, “Rule 240” when you get to an agent.

@briankachadurian.bsky.social My brain immediately stopped worrying about the comma. I started to diagnose the mechanical problem.

It takes next to no time to set up a new laptop. It takes a long time to get past the default "S mode," which Microsoft designed to scare users into thinking they are doing something dangerous when downloading Chrome and other non-MS apps. I go back to the DOS days and I call BS, Microsoft.

@deltaairways.bsky.social Pls thank DTW Delta customer svc Imani and Rynn for courtesy and creative rebooking when weather at JFK would have caused me to miss an international connection. They fixed it FAST!

@freep.com Chrysler made the Belvedere. There's a Chrysler plant in Belvidere, IL. They are not spelled the same. @briankachadurian.bsky.social despite the misspelling, there's a good article about the hemi in today's paper.

I dyed indigo in Thailand and loved it. I usually take fall Saturday drawing classes at a Detroit arts college. Instead, I signed up for weaving (thinking I liked textiles). It was ghastly. I dropped the class (1st class ever dropped). I think jr HS gym would be more fun.

I wore pearls and skirted suits for my first 20 yrs in the electrical biz. This was taken ~1993 by a rep in MN who covered ND and SD, too. We were on our annual trip to see a far-flung SD distributor.

@cogitoergowtf.bsky.social Are you feeling better?

The 2022 version falls open to the right pages. I’ve tabbed 2025, but still reach for 2022. I put 2025 on top to break the habit!
August 17, 2025 at 5:38 PM
@cogitoergowtf.bsky.social How are you feeling?

Weather app says we are having thunderstorms. We are not, but it does appear likely to snow.
