It's my Birthday today ๐
As a tradition I may request for sharing my work.
Thank you to everyone who supported me so far.
I'm looking forward to a brighter future. You can find more in my Bio.
I like (EV) cars, I like having a car, but I'd also like to be able to use it just on weekends, for shopping trips and exploring. I'd love it if there was a fast, reliable, inexpensive way for me to commute back and forth to work every day, by train, subway, or bus. I could read on the way to and from work. Catch up on news. Watch videos. Whatever.
I sympathize, though. We moved to California in the 90s, to Santa Barbara, and bought a place there just before real estate went insane there. We only owned it 3 years, but sold it for twice what we'd paid (after a lot of DIY fixup). Sank that into the current house, and I couldn't afford to buy this place today. My mortgage payment is half what we'd pay in rent for a smaller place.
I'm gay, so leaving California isn't really an option. I'm just looking for fun. Anyway, I bought a house up in Ventura County about 20 years ago, and I'm pretty well settled.
I'm currently touring homes for sale in Bel Air and Beverly Hills. I wouldn't actually live either place, even if I could afford it. I don't even like to go as far as the 101/405 interchange, but it's fun to look at the houses.

One of my favorite things about @KevBot is how heโll loosely plan out or day and send the agenda to me in the form of a Yelp collection.

I'll go with c) the page of the Book Of Spells And Hexes you're reading is an insomnia curse.

Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American newsletter is always worth reading but I want to flag today's on the efforts in Texas to target interstates and other transportation routes to prevent women from leaving Texas for (legal) abortions. Surreal, definitely unconstitutional, but also creates even more barriers and confusion. So reminiscent of proslavery political maneuvering. #history #abortion #histodons 1/ https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-1-2023

If there's any question about whether you're awake or just dreaming you're awake - DON'T USE THE TOILET!

Your non-violent, harmless autistic traits aren't bad because other people are "annoyed" by them or "don't care for them"
That's on them, not you.
They're part of you. Imagine if we fired people and insulted their moral character because they asked about the weather.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
