Transformers won the robot wars of the 80s, obviously, but that doesn't mean that GoBots and Super GoBots weren't also awesome. I picked up Super GoBot Spay-C this weekend and he's just nifty.

Didn't want to post anything until I was sure he'd be OK, and since he is, I would like to introduce you to Burt. He's a juvenile lutino Oscar fish. I especially like his orange question mark at the base of his tail. Love you, Burt.

I'm so glad you're alive @superpac.bsky.social. Blood clots and Factor V Leiden run in my family and I am so glad you listened to your body.

Finished reading my morning book with Turlough, so I now switched to an evening book with Zoë. She's a bit sleepy.

I'm having a quiet Sunday morning reading a book with Turlough. At this point, the reader, the book, and the cat are all vintage.

Back when I was very little, my Mom "read" this picture book to me at the Mt. Greenwood Branch Library. For about the last 40 years, I've tried to remember what that book was since it is a cherished early childhood memory about my Mom. Today I found that book!

I'm in Moline this morning where the trains blow their horns. I am happy my home of Evergreen Park has a no-horn ordinance. It makes a huge sound pollution difference in a heavy freight-train area.

There are times I wish I could go back in time and play more Atari 2600 Real Sports Baseball with my sister. We should do that when I visit her in New Zealand!

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose!

I'm catching up with @p1podcast.com, episode 1029 and I am convinced @superpac.bsky.social and I crossed paths in New Buffalo and Warren Dunes State Park up in Michigan as kids. My Dad would also put us up in questionable motels and walk around naked with no shame.
