There are other similar websites that can walk you through registering to vote, but I like this one because they make it easy to find out what elections are coming up. Just put in your street address. No sign up required.
Any port in a storm.
This is gorgeous! I've been very into macro lately.
😭
Kind of thinking of setting up my own instance. I know time is almost up.
There are a lot of hobbyist stations connected to Weather Underground. I have one! I got it more because we are in kind of a microclimate area slightly different than the city's main station. And also we are prone to hurricanes and other windy conditions, so I just wanna track the wind outside to know if I have to run out and secure loose items.
With the Weather Underground widget, I can have my station data right on my phone. Forecasts still go by the main city.
Fun fact, the mast for the old DirectTv dish was the perfect size for the weather station, and gave me an excuse to climb up and take the dish down finally.
Some people just don't have a Clue
I never thought about alternate materials for quilt batting. How interesting! I've been saving scrap fabric for a crochet rag rug and baskets.
Have you tried this technique for joining shorter strips? I imagine it would be tedious to use this method to join long strands of yarn (pulling and pulling the other end through the loop to cinch the "knot"). But maybe would work ok with plarn?
Omg, the joke just landed. I was wondering what the eff a teat owl was until I finally said it out loud.
Maybe this should go in no stupid questions, but I'm curious to hear the explanation too. Am I just outdated? I thought every good home first aid kit should have a bottle.
I would do this to incentivize shoppers to take as many as possible. Like at a charity shop that needs to make room for a sizable donation or just to churn the shelves a little.
The sign is still pretty amusing tho.
I'm keeping an eye out for it. We first saw it on our way out to dinner. And I didn't see it when we came back about an hour later. Hopefully mama found it and got it home. It was barely bigger than a softball. I already know of a rehabber collective that I will call if I do see it again.
Found it in my pool while I was getting it ready for summer. Rehomed it to the neighbor's pond where it will have lots of turtle friends.
Found him in the skimmer this morning. My hand must feel more cozy than the basket as he chose to take a nap once I picked him up. I carried him across the street to the wildlife refuge marshy area. Be free, little 🐢
BG was sponsoring the Atlanta Olympics that year, and some marketing person thought it would be a fun idea to put our home state on name badges as kind of a US ambassador-like gesture I guess for all the extra visitors the parks expected.
I don't know if we saw an increase in visitors that year. Williamsburg is like a 12 hour drive from Atlanta. But I did have one guy complain to me about the Italian food we sold in the cafeteria, that it was horrid, and his wife was Italian, and she couldn't eat this. Almost 30 years later and I still remember that guy. Why was he remotely expecting decent food at a theme park? I have no idea. And I still have Funiculì, Funiculà running through my head on occasion. Thanks BG.
This came up in the rotation on the tv and it amused me. I tried asking it for a pattern but it was unresponsive 😂
Mom hung a mass produced art print on my bedroom wall when I was about 8. It's of a little girl holding her puppy.
Cute, right?
Thing is, this painting terrified me. And I was raised in the time where you just kind of swallowed any complaints and didn't bother mom or dad with kid foolishness.
Here is a copy of the thing I actually had hanging on my wall. This same frame. Probably came from Service Merchandise or some such.
What in the everloving hell is lurking just over her shoulder?!?! To me it always looked like a skull wearing a hat on the side of his head, like a little old timey jaunty hat a clown would wear.
It's a wonder I got any sleep. I was too afraid to tell mom I hated it. I never considered that I possessed the agency to take it off my wall and hide it at the bottom of the closet.
I think of this cursed painting still.
Did you ever have something in your childhood that unnecessarily scared the bejeezus out of you?
