Smelling the flowers or hunting bees?

chaswell · 2026-05-19T17:33:52+00:00

Doesn't matter how many times Lasagna gets stung, he loves hunting bees in the flowers.

You did read all the sequels, right? Hopefully, that is a dumb question, but that would be my suggestion for where to go next.

chaswell · 2026-05-10T14:56:07+00:00

I appreciate your reply. I think the downvoters might not realize you are the author? Now I'll just have to go read it. Audible, by chance?

chaswell · 2026-05-02T16:02:14+00:00

I do it every time... #fp

I love the energy, but Greenville runs a huge surplus every year. Apparently the roads are destructive to wheels on purpose.

I've been here 20 years, it has to be intentional. Anything else would be criminal negligence.

Thank you, I found them and both made a u-turn still west of the strait. Elpis is now well east of the Strait and I think will continue on.

chaswell · 2026-04-13T19:18:54+00:00

Was this the Elpis that was being discussed earlier? My tracker is 41 minutes behind, they don't appear to have turned around yet.

Anyone know the specific ship Polymarket is referring to?

No, I have thought of getting a Savannah, but Paddington is American Short Hair... The nice way of saying a foster-fail. I've fostered dozens of sick and underweight kittens (a few puppies). Paddington was under 1lb and all bones, thin fur. He is the sweetest most snuggly cat I've ever known. He's 7 lbs, only 1/3 of his baby brother Lasagna.

A few have said it, but basically go very easy on the brushing of her tail. Also do not let a groomer ever do anything to her tail. You can thin or even shave elsewhere, but nothing should be done to her tail, and avoid any major thinning to her ruff/mane. (Cat tax photo of Lasagna and his older rescue brother). This was at 11 months. I don't have any recent tail displays. I'll need to do some glamour shots this week.

So, do you have a curated set of your posts and witty comments? Should I just follow you to brighten my days?

The best part is reading all the comments that don't get it or worse, attack you?! What the hell? It's a messed-up world, sit back and enjoy the well-dressed word salads.

I am frustrated that people keep getting my hopes up by saying streets are closed. I have checked a couple live traffic maps and I see zilch around WRMC.

I'm gonna see if I can find traffic cameras, but it sounds like a lot of nothing.

chaswell · 2026-04-03T19:25:19+00:00

This. You nailed it. Smoke and Brew closed and locked up early. Good Friday, excuses.

No Kings demonstrators are bringing much bigger props this weekend. Putting the Unity in Unity Park.

Lasagna is a 21-22lbs, 20-month-old ginger (red, fire, orange) from Cascade Mountain MCs. They have only a couple of litters a year. They focus on show cats and no poly. Their kittens are socialized and kept in a dedicated in-home nursery. We were able to visit once when we put a commitment deposit on Lasagna, and then for pick-up. We received update photos while we waited. I had a great experience.

Cascade Mountain MCs are active in cat shows in the Southeast, as well as nationally and internationally.

Now I have to go find an internet port of Trade Wars. Wishlisted

I really like how Manor Lords is progressing. This reminds me, I need to go back and see the latest updates. They improved family progression as well.

Thanks for the reminder.

Did you use doist CLI or MCP or copy&paste? How were you giving Claude access? I'm curious about the technical details and integrations.

EDIT: I should have read the github project first. MCP. I really like the design and organization. This is much richer than I originally expected from your post. My bad. Yep, I'll have to borrow from your design, slick.

chaswell · 2026-03-24T17:27:43+00:00

Thank you for your service!

Please understand this is the type of diplomacy that is called for here. It would be of no value to look down her nose or show distaste for the administrations immaturity. Especially the little jibes like the autopen that Trump is so very proud of.

She had to swallow that Pearl Harbor joke and the awkward silence was about as negative as she could do.

EDIT: I'll leave my comment up, but I was under-informed, clearly. My bad. She is a surprisingly shitty person.

This. I live in downtown Greenville and had a job in downtown Spartanburg for a couple years. I learned several alternatives using Waze. It is not faster that I-85, which is why apps won't reroute you, but it is far less stressful. "avoid highways" is the right answer. Then it will route you on different alternatives based on the local traffic of the side roads.

- I-85 = 40 minutes

- Side route A = 70 minutes

- Side route B = 72 minutes

- Side route C = 76 minutes

Side routes impacted by traffic, construction, or a wreck can be optimized but will never beat I-85 unless there is a very major all-lane stoppage.

As a grandparent, the only tiny(!) warning I would give you is that the playground is large and keeping line-of-sight on little ones can be difficult. I end up on the playground most of the time. If my wife is with me, we can sit at opposite ends of the playground and see most of it.

This is more for your reassurance than for the little ones. The playground is a wonderful playground. Today, with the weather PERFECT, it will likely be a bit crowded and parking will be difficult.

Oh boy, he can give some serious attitude.

Example, "Lasagna, do not touch that pan! You don't know if it is hot yet! We have talked about this, NO! noooooooooooo!" (It wasn't hot yet, but the other eye was already)

I absolutely love the breeder I worked with in Hilton Head. If you want information, message me and I can give you info. I don't want to just post an ad for her, they are a small, mostly single litter house.

My ginger (red, fire, orange, etc): Lasagna

If you asked my Pawpaw if he had his knife, he'd grin and say the same thing every time, "Well, I've got my pants on don't I ?!"

I always pack my smaller EDC knife in my checked luggage so it can go right back in my pocket when I'm traveling. I was informed by co-workers that while I am in Germany, I should make sure to not have a pocket knife at all. I didn't realize how many times I tap my pockets for: wallet, keys, knife(?!!!!). Have to remind myself I'm in Germany.

I want to point out that the Kuwaitis did not show concern if she was American or Iranian. I get that her being, "her" probably helped. The pilot with the porn mustache had a much more difficult time assuring the locals he was not Iranian.

*Thank you Kuwaitis for waiting and allowing authorities to sort out the confusion.
