Yeah, I’ve experienced this myself. When driving in areas I know, I can ignore the directions sending me and a zillion other cars onto the tiny residential streets with the blind corner, but there have been times when I was going somewhere unfamiliar with a deadline and I trusted the directions, only to find myself in a massive traffic jam on a street that just wasn’t made for the volume.

Kiddo placed a giant box across the hallway.
Me: Can we not barricade the hallway, please?
(Steps up to box.)
Kiddo: Leave it.
Me: Are you going to brush your teeth?
Kiddo: Yes.
Me: (deciding that him getting enough sleep is more important than the box): *shrug* “OK.”
(Brief discussion, then): You do have to be done and in your room by 8:15 or we’ll have to storm the barricades.
Kiddo: Ok.
(If only he was this calm at every bedtime…)
Amazingly, we did not have to storm the barricades.

Trees that survived the one-two punch of drought and bark beetles turn out to have been more water-efficient than those that didn’t, suggesting that at least some species can adapt to the longer droughts anticipated in the future. There’s thoughts of deliberately replanting with seeds from these trees to help it along.

I hate puncture vine. And I hate that it’s all over the greenbelt along the nearest bike path.

Gotta love how DC managed to finally release a Wally West solo series (even a miniseries)…in a way that’s completely killed my interest in reading it.

@behold3r I have co-workers I interact with in person all the time and I don’t know their names, and co-workers I interact with over company chat all the time that I don’t know what they look like, and I’m absolutely certain there’s an overlap between those two groups.
Minor health mishap
Grabbed a maple coffee drink on the way home from work. Inhaled a big gulp of it 2/3 of the way home. By some minor miracle, managed to suppress my cough reflex long enough to swallow the rest of the gulp and not spray it all over the inside of the car, but I’ve been coughing for the last half hour including 20 more minutes of the drive.
And now I’m hiccupping too.
