Just throwing it out there to see if there's anybody that knows the area.

In two weeks I'll be going to Delaware for a work conference. We'll be landing in Philly and going to Cape Henlopen State Park. Anybody know of anything cool/interesting to stop by or visit around those areas?

FUNNY YOU SAY THAT

We had a thicket of cattails that wasn't catching.

What do Rangers have in our trucks all the time? Toilet paper!

Get square shovel, place TP in said shovel, douse with torch fuel, light, and YEET.

(We made sure there was black or water established all around the thicket ofc)

Early voting opens as early as a few days from now. PLEASE do your research, especially if you're here in IL like I am. Remember that while the administration is inherently stupid, evil, and lazy not all that align with them are, and money can even make them look like an ally.

And I'd understand if it was the newest release, but this game is SIX YEARS OLD NOW

You think they'd have all this shit ironed out?

Especially after having already played for 30 minutes at that point. Choosing the start and end locations, loading in, going through the checklists and starting everything up, taxi to runways and then....no more game for you lol, rofl even

Microsoft Flight Sim 2020:

I love having a game that will have a voice yelling at me for not taking off while making sure I can't take off because of 'assistants' it turns on for you and won't tell you how to turn off.

And sadly, these days, that's about all it takes to kill my gaming experience.

Funny videos are great.

These changes after the ownership switch are not.

Delete it like your Twitter account. It's just not worth it anymore.

FINALLY

Finally. This is the first day in what feels like WEEKS that my nose and sinuses felt better or just the same after sleeping.

I am just so, so tired of the pressure, coughing, and the gross phlegm.

Please πŸ™ let it be done.

Probably wouldn't be (and shouldn't be) the last time I check in with parts of me like that. But I think it would be cathartic to see, for me. Look. Look where we came from, what we used to be. Look at who we are now.

"Is it okay now?"

"It's been a wild ride. But we're getting there, I promise."

From my lowest when a character of someone else's stepped in and was able to be the face and voice of me better than even I was, until now.

So I want to ask them something again now, almost 25 years later.

Can you bring him back for a piece? Can you picture him, checking in with us?

Thankfully that time passed, and with the help of community and personal changes I started to grow a sense of self again. With those changes, Eli also went through them. From a fox. To a raccoon. To a coyote for a very long stint. To what he is now. Always a facet of me in some way, always there.

Been thinking about making a very personal art commission at some point soon.

For those (most of you) who don't know "Elijah" was someone else's, originally. He was a character, a fox, and at a time when I didn't know who I was I got permission to use the sort of likeness as a character online.

That's another one done and gone! Only one private student loan, and then the federal loans are left!

Though now all that snowballing of debt payments is basically gonna turn into a car payment in a few months πŸ₯²

Very telling that I've come back "home" to Memphis for Christmas with family.

So far the biggest buildings I've seen at all are:

An intermodal shipping warehouse.

Hospital.

Churches (so. Many. Churches.)

And the one old 'fancy' hotel that had its heyday before I was born.

Its only four days...
