Kid recognized the text-to-speech in a scam phone message as the same one that Minecraft uses when you turn on narration. So now I’m picturing the scam pitch written out on a series of Minecraft signs.
Narrator: Narrates call.

Gotta love how the ambulance bill got here while my arm’s still healing from the IV. 😬
It turns out migraines can temporarily scramble your ability to process language. I ended up getting an emergency CT scan and MRI last week because it looked like a stroke or something.
I get the visual distortions with migraine auras, but I’d never had anything like this.
Fortunately the aphasia cleared up sometime during the night, and the next morning I was able to actually form sentences again.
Overheard: “Alexa, tell ____ I’m not talking to her!”

Saw a giant (6ft?) banner on someone’s corner yard this morning:

And I realized…I honestly couldn’t tell which direction they were approaching it from.
Why do I still have this?

I don’t recommend finishing a dungeon crawler game while the beginnings of a migraine aura are hitting, though the random blind spots did make for an…interesting variation game play.

Saw a pickup driving with the gas pump handle and hose still attached. They were in the left turn lane, I hope prepping a U-turn to head back to the station.

A Welsh village’s broadband service went down at 7am every morning for over a year.

The “mortified” owner agreed to stop using it immediately, and the problem hasn’t happened again.
Gee, nothing creepy about that: “Ring’s latest security camera is a drone that flies around inside your house”

Covid news, Africa (+)
Wow. Comparing these numbers for an *entire continent* to the numbers in the US alone is amazing: “Slightly more than 34,000 deaths have been confirmed on the continent of 1.3 billion people….Africa is doing a lot of things right the rest of the world isn’t”

I was in the area because my dentist is there and I decided it was time to stop postponing the appointments. It was also my first drive on the freeway since March and my first time out of the county since March.

Stopped by my parents’ today to say hi across the driveway. First time I’d seen them in person in months. We stood something like 10 feet apart on the driveway wearing masks, but we were in the same place for the first time since…February? Not sure exactly. Talked for about an hour.
