Three en dashes for the Elven-kings under the sky, seven hyphens for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, nine parentheses for mortal men doomed to die, one em dash for the dark lord on his dark throne in the land of Mordor where the shadows lie,

Got back from Europe last week, all amazing but Mont Saint-Michel stole the show. Basically felt like we were in a magical D&D adventure lol

Pittsburgh tape measure from Harbor Freight finally bit the dust in a spectacular way. Let it snap close as I always do (and arguably shouldn't) and the whole end popped off

#gdc was a blast! Loved catching up with everyone and also came away inspired (like every year).
Oh, also, this cat wants me to play Settlers of Cat-on with her.

Springdale boiler house building demolished The boiler house at the former Springdale power plant was fully demolished Saturday after a failed attempt to bring down the structure last week.

Current working theory is it was the demolition of the Springdale Boiler House Saturday morning coupled with a southwest wind: www.wtae.com/article/spri...

So yesterday we noticed our cars had dirt all over them. Then driving we noticed that all the cars on our street did, then all cars in our neighborhood and the next neighborhood and looking on Facebook all surrounding ones, so... dirty rain fell Friday night!? Is that a thing? #dirtyrain
