Driving home from dinner earlier SO joked ‘can you see the northern lights?’ It wasn’t dark yet so he was just being silly. Then two minutes later a friend texted that his mom had seen them in...

True. Although I could probably test the limits of your assumption. :)

Ugggh. No. She literally spends 2-3 hours every day out there. Also the hoa no longer allows potted plants on driveways but she and one other woman have been grandfathered. When she does those plants...

This got me curious. A quick search on amazon finds that people make standalone induction burners specifically for woks. I don't know enough about woks to know how practical this is. For instance...

Indeed! It will be sad when our neighbor passes, both because she's a total sweetheart and because the area in front of our house will look way less cheerful once she's gone. But she's only 92 and...

I wish we had a footed tv room. SO has the tv on virtually 100% of the time that he’s home.

The downstairs of our 1575 sq foot home has no doors (except the bathroom of course). But the bathroom...

That’s gorgeous! I can see why you wanted to move there!

Had a lovely hike about ten minutes south of us this weekend. That's downtown San Francisco in the distance (the salesforce tower is the tallest building) and the Bay Bridge off to the left.

I've mentioned before that the old lady next door LOVES gardening and is very good at it. And that she also plants and cares for flowers on our side of the sidewalk area leading to our front doors. ...

That's an interesting observation. And not one I would've ever thought of. But it makes sense since the surface area of a wok on the burner is actually quite small. I actually did a stir fry...

Leashes and muzzles are a thing that can be used if someone knows their dog is poorly trained.

Besides being politically tome deaf it also strikes me that it’s an admission that one has no clue how to train a dog.

I sure hope Kristi Noem doesn’t have other dogs.

As I've mentioned before, I've been volunteering at Marin Humane for the last six months in the Adoption Cat area and I hope to continue doing so for a long time. One morning a week I go do a two...

There’s a difference between Palestinian sympathizers and Hamas sympathizers. Kind of the same as acknowledging that not all republicans are loser trump sympathizers.

After using my friend's induction hotplate for a couple of weeks to make coffee I bought my own. I love it for that but haven't started experimenting with it for other stuff. Part of my issue is...

I haven’t read the book either and am glad I hadn’t before seeing the movie since then I would have probably been disappointed. Of course now I need to read the book! I imagine the library has it. ...

And this is a good example of why the decrease of public spaces is a bad thing. There’s been a big effort to turn perceived public spaces into private spaces over the years. That’s unfortunate. And...

So are the courts going to decide that the ‘condition of college campuses’ outweigh the first amendment?

So first amendment rights are not a 24/7 thing? Sounds kind of similar to the idea that homeless people need to figure out how to not need to sleep in public spaces.

I’m not a big fan of watching movies repeatedly. One of the exceptions is ‘Catch Me If You Can’ one of SO’s favorites that I’ve seen several times now. Google news turned up this story today about a...

Of course these arrests are kibuki. They aren't about "trespass". They are about shutting down inconvenient opinions.

I think that's advocating violence, so yes, they should be arrested if that's what actually happened. But that seems to have been an isolated event from what I can tell. University administrators...

Apparently the cops in DC actually know what the first amendment is:

I was lukewarm about the new stacked laundry machines but we got $400 selling the ten year old white ones on Craigslist and it’s nice having the dryer controls on the bottom instead of up by the...
