Jenn and Angel have forcibly given me two weeks off from cooking

[conuly]

It is my vacation.

Okay, cool.

Yesterday, Jenn woke me up to ask me to sniff her milk, see if it was still good. I don't get to go anywhere, and now people are asking me to sniff things? Worst vacation ever.

Oh well. Even if I can't go anywhere, I can still look out other people's windows all over the world.

The Rideau Cottage Attack

[dewline]

Yeah, this isn't a good thing at all. QAnon's organizing lunatics clearly want Trudeau removed in favour of some more foolish reich-winger.

I wish the whole lot of them would get sick of covid19, or die in utterly predictable gun-related accidents, or OD, or whatever.

I didn't know Canada had QAnon. Is it as bad/as big of a cult as over here?

[adafrog]

That link is really cool. Thanks.

That window swap really makes me appreciate my own view. I had paged through quite a few without seeing any views I like so much as my own, so I started counting from then.

These are the ones I liked, before getting tired and stopping:
# 12 Arnulf's window in Bavaria, Germany (also came up at # 126)
# 32 Nicolas's window in Parkstein, Germany (also came up at #142)
# 55 Harmut's window in Stnkt Augustin, Germany (also came up at 166)
# 56 Lina's window in Asechireid, Switzerland (extra pretty!!!) (also came up at 167, so clearly this doesn't go through them randomly, but in sequence--opted to stop here, and leave it up for a while)
# 79 Christine's window in Bavaria, Germany

However, since I rather like my own view better than most of them, I got inspired to share mine.

At least it keeps you aware that you still have a sense of smell?

I couldn't...go two weeks without cooking. Even in situations where others mostly cook I can't imagine a world in which I did (I get...creative cooking itches. Between that and actual (quite frequent) cravings you'd have to put bars and a locking door on the kitchen (and lose the key) to keep me out).

Ha ha! That does not sound like something you want to list on your "What I Did on Summer Vacation" essay.

:D

Nooooooooo.
