    NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! And no, I didn't ask, the checkout girl added it on her own. I didn't notice it til I got home. I'm 51! And I'm a senior citizen already?

    A bigger snowstorm came through last night, 17 February. This is about a half inch. More is coming in waves throughout the week, and it won't get much above freezing until Sunday. Fortunately I'm prepared.

    Bad Bunny

    NO POLITICS! Any fans of Boriquano (Puerto Rican) pop singer Bad Bunny here? He's been in the news a lot in the mainland US and he sounds like I would like his music. I know we have fans of Spanish language pop here, what are y'alls favorite Bad Bunny songs?

    The way my voice sounds to me when I speak (not my internal monologue, but when I actually physically speak out loud) is totally different from what others hear. It has got me in trouble before since sometimes my out loud voice is misinterpreted to imply something I did not intend. Some people...

    That's a Dr. Who spinoff, right? I've read that it's mostly set in Cardiff, Wales. The premise is that a spacetime rift was discovered in Cardiff in the Victorian era, and the job of the people played by the lead actors is to keep a lid on it the best they can.

    The devotion of some people to watching a bunch of guys throw a ball around, and having ball throwing be so lucrative that even college kids make obscene amounts of money from it, mystifies me.

    Bought seed potatoes for the garden. I'm gonna finally have a garden! Yay! I bought Red Pontiac spuds which is what my grandpa grew because they are hardy and can withstand temp extremes.

    I think you can buy buttons that state preferred pronouns. You should look into it. When I'm in Ashland I sometimes see trans people and don't know what to call them if I need to. I saw a transboy at a garage sale and wanted to talk to him about the 80s music the estate sale company was playing...

    In the 60s corrupt local officials in the southwest US took bribes in exchange for the drawing and sale of "phantom subdivisions" that mostly existed as drawings in the county recorder's office, then sold grazing rights to the areas separately. Over time a few people homesteaded in the areas and...

    There are lots of cows where I live, but they are not mine. Under traditional common law in the American Far West there is something called "grazing rights". Basically it means a rancher can graze his cows legally on what is legally other people's property.

    Younger son had fun yesterday, I came out to him too

    Little kids love to experiment. If he likes dressing as a girl on occasion there is nothing wrong with that. From the info given, it doesn't sound like he is convinced he is actually a girl in a boy's body, he's just a little boy who likes to pretend he is a girl simply out of childhood...

    Younger son had fun yesterday, I came out to him too

    Great, we all need to have our parent(s) behind us. I personally would worry about accidental misgendering, especially if he's still on the fence about his gender ID. I think you can buy "pronoun buttons" on Ebay that he can wear so that everybody knows how to gender him correctly. I find that...

    You're in a desert and I'm not, so even though it gets really cold in Reno in winter, snow at the level of downtown Reno is relatively rare. I'm sure you've heard the stories about tourists being sold a winter getaway in "the warm desert of Reno" by crooked travel salesmen only to find...
