Geeky Moment of the Evening
I just discovered that there’s a place in Greece called Tanagra. It was well known in ancient times for making splendid figurines and terracotta sculptures, and today it houses one of Greece’s biggest airports.
But do I notice this? Noooo, my first reaction right off the bat is to nearly squawk “SHAKA WHEN THE WALLS FELL.”

~ that moment when you try to console your uncle after he texts you with news that he had to take his old dog in to be put down, and you can’t be with him to console him because he’s in the Bay Area (California).

Musing of the Day (gifs included to help convey...
So I walked up to Subway with my mum and the kid (a 7-year-old) she’s tutoring. It was sprinkling a bit outside, no problem. My dad met us there, having driven the truck, and we all had a nice lunch.
We got ready to leave. It’s raining a bit harder now, and whereas a bit of rain never hurt anyone (plus we had umbrellas), my dad was nice enough to tote us all home. Only problem was...
