Surfing with goats.
It all started when longtime Pismo Beach surfer Dana McGregor would leave his pet goat, Goatee, at home when he would go surfing and she would cry all the time he was gone, much to the annoyance of his neighbors. So, he took her to the beach with him and taught her to surf and quickly became a tourist favorite.

The kid has two sets of friends who play on our realm. Someone keeps griefing our base, and they keep blaming each other for it and trying to get the other group banned.

Power glitched a few times like it did during the windstorm a couple of weeks ago. Called the power company again. This time they came out and replaced the wires bringing power to the building. Just before sunset, so we played Uno next to the biggest window in the apartment as the outside light faded until the lights came back on and the trucks drove away.

Covid vaccine, family
Parents managed to get the first dose of the Moderna vaccine. MIL made it through an asymptomatic case & has an appointment for a vaccine (I forget which one). Feels like *something* is finally moving forward

Also dreamed that I’d worked on a satellite to deliver an EMP to a target location on Earth, had the targeting app on my phone, and was trying to figure out a way to make the satellite self-destruct so no one could actually use it, without it tracing back to me.
I wonder if that’s related to having listened to the Rogue One soundtrack recently.
covid-adjacent, dream
Also dreamed that my employer was holding one single in-office day for everyone to pack things up for storage before we went back to remote work. Everyone was distancing but at some point we all realized that none of us were wearing masks

Dreamed I accidentally opened Facebook on my phone for the first time in over a year while trying to open an app to order McDonald’s. Despite the fact that I don’t even like McDonald’s.

Pre-dinosaur reptile Kongonaphon kely, “tiny insect slayer” was just 40cm long, and appears to have been a common ancestor – or at least very close to the divergence – of both dinosaurs and pterosaurs

covid vaccine, snowstorm
Oregon healthcare workers stuck on the road in a snowstorm with vaccine doses they knew wouldn’t make it back to the clinic before expiring ended up walking up and down the road knocking on car doors offering the shots to other people stuck in traffic with them.
