You may address me as Sir El Spotto, as befits my status as a Knight of the Sovereign Military Order of Sealand (OMS), or you can just call me El Spotto. It ain’t that big a deal.

Is Sokanyan a marsupial cat or did they surgically create a cracker pocket in their own skin? Need to ask because either is playable in the world of Japanese mascots.
Sokanyan, a cat from Soka City who loves the local Soka senbei rice crackers, was at the World Character Summit.

@orkneylibrary.bsky.social I met our local bookmobile and its stewards this weekend at our town’s holiday market. Was shocked to find it has neither a name nor a social media presence. But…one of the guys actually knew your account,
So there is hope! 😂🤣

Ok. That only took 45 minutes to get through the mail. Going to spend the rest of the day responding to my responses of why what people are asking isn’t a thing, but I have looked at every email.
Time for more coffee. This week I am trying something new: a varietal from India. It’s not bad.

Why? Why would you assign an incident to someone who is out all week (and properly marked on their calendar as out) on Tuesday? I am getting dinged for not meeting an SLA I could never meet. Thanks.

Red Bridges BBQ Lodge sells slaw with their BBQ sauce in it. And I swear to Godot that it has horseradish in it.
I thought it did Friday, as leftovers on Sunday I am almost certain.

Got my stepdad an AirTag and key fob. He hemmed and hawed about tech so I took his keys and hid them. He found them with the Find My app and suddenly changed his tune.

Senator Kelly, don’t mince words. You know why all of this is true. Just say it: he is not in charge. He is a tool being used by at least two parties interested in dismantling the U.S.
Say it out loud. You are already at the top of the list when they purge opposition. Be a hero one more time.

No, because you lot know getting boots on the ground involves more people and that means more likelihood that it won’t work. But you have shown you can bomb things.
So you plan on turning Venezuela into glass.

1) the international in international waters means it’s not ours to close
2) now that they have shut down sea borders, they are about to shut down our airspace. I said this MONTHS ago but we are still on track to be NK version 2.

It will happen before the New Year. It will be a true war on Christmas.
Only question is which city will be the first where they go Kent State?

I need my GenX congresscritters to step up the yo mamma game. We all know it and are at least competent in it.

Crab rice. Cooked with broth made from sea crab and river crab. When it comes to winter ingredients in Japan, crab is the star.

Yep, Victorian artists sure did like painting “bathers”. Seems “bathing” when away when people started taking pictures of naked people as soon as cameras were fast enough to do so. 😶

It is done. I fed him a pumpkin white chocolate muffin at the other coffee shop and put him in the RAV4 to go home.
I am walking back to my place and not doing a damn thing today. I’ll wash sheets and towels tomorrow. I’ll cook…tomorrow. Today we nap.

Met the owner of the new indie bookstore tonight. She and her partner were putting the finishing touches on. They have had some delays in shipments of, well, books so are holding off opening. Told her I had a small list to order all ready set and would wait until I could do it in store.

I think body snatchers have taken my stepdad. I like the show Jericho. Hadn’t seen it in forever. He watched it on paramount+ and asked if I’d seen it. He just gave me these for Christmas. Last year when he was here I was reading a Judge Dredd complete case files volume so that was his cue.

Y’all I am so stoked. Over drinks my stepdad told me he is dating someone. I genuinely couldn’t be happier. They both lost their spouse at about the same time. I think he thought I might be upset. He was the best thing that ever happened to mom. Why would I deny that opportunity to someone else?

Farmers market was small in part because it was sub freezing. But still got squash and muscadines while my stepdad sampled and bought a ton of flavored goat cheeses.
