In every dream I've had of flying, it's always felt like a muscle I had to tighten in my brain that allowed me to fly. I'd just lift up and soar, and I was never afraid, even though IRL I'm terrified of heights.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I've tried to do the same thing while I was awake.

You should be careful reading my posts. I think I'm coming down with something, I don't want you to catch it.

Print arrived earlier this week, frame arrived today, and now it's framed and hanging.

My weekend is off to a rocky start. I got home and hubs had bought a new front door handle, and it's my job to fix/replace things. But now the new door handle is installed, and we're watching Doctor Crusher in some kind of trouble.
Tomorrow we're driving down to LA to visit a museum he wants to tour.

Hold on tight, we're going to Poundtown.

Scooter the Gray came from a parrot rescue place. She's always been very trusting, so I know she was taken care of, but the thing she'd throw out was "Scooter - no! Ow, you little asshole!" So, maybe not all sunny pastures.

She's been here 3 years and now what she throws out is "the good Scooter" or [whispering] "I love the Scootie" [kiss noise]. Progress.

Someone trained an attack spider. Now he just has to figure out how to get burglars to dress up like cursors.

So after shooting something down over Alaska yesterday, NORAD planes shot down something over Canadian territory today. They haven't identified what either one was, just "not balloon".

Childhood memories...

In 2021, my house used an average of 23.4KWh of electricity per day. Last October I installed a 10KW solar setup on my house, and I'm planning to switch out natural gas water heater and furnace to heat pumps that use electricity. The days are still short, and I'm not producing as much as I will in the summer, but yesterday - WOOHOO!

They made a candle for my current status:

My BFA, named Boo, would let me brace his beak on my finger while I gave him head scratches. I know a parrot's beak is sensitive, and resting it on a cold, hard cage can't feel great. Scooter won't accept that. Head scratches are on her terms only, and woe to he who interferes.

I've been whistling the opening notes to Jeepers Creepers to Scooter all morning, and she's starting to pick it up. She's got the opening stanza, anyway.

I happened to finish watching the series Teen Wolf last night, just a day after the release of the Teen Wolf movie. So today I watched that. Mindless fun, with werewolves, banshees, hellhounds, and chimeras.

I just saw this somewhere else.

I don't know if this belongs here or not - it was my cheat project. When we bought our current house we needed a buffet for this niche in the dining room, but couldn't find anything we liked and fit and could afford. So I cheated. 3 custom kitchen cabinets screwed together, and I built the top and base out of a matching maple. I thought it would do until we found something. That was 20 years ago.

I support this.

Scooter the parrot likes the unsalted nuts we keep in the cupboard, especially when we just open the lid and let her pick her own. She's learned that we close the jar and put it back in the cupboard as soon as she takes her head out of the jar. No problem, she doesn't take her head out.
