Woohoo! Go #NOLA! In addition to the boil water advisory from yesterday's water main break. We also have lost power. New Orleans could be so interesting.

15 text messages from various Democratic operatives have gotten past my spam filters in the past few days. I'm already a left-wing pinko commie.
I guess my fellow travelers don't understand that this is counterproductive.
I'm still waiting for the George Soros checks to land in my bank account.

Lovely daughter said there are feeds other than the fountain pen feed on bsky so I took a look.
I'm now back in my office with the doors and blinds closed, cleaning and inking pens. Knock on my door when it's over.

Men don’t call a woman a fucking bitch when they’re afraid for their lives—they say it when they hate us. They say it when they’re punishing us.

It's science, man.
You know how winning athletes thank God in post-game interviews?
With Texas Tech & Texas A&M losing their CFP games by a combined 33-3 after both schools banned faculty from saying anything about gender contradictory to GOP ideology, I think we can infer what God thinks about anti-trans politics.

Took my daughter to MSY this morning so she could fly home to Philly, which is under a winter storm warning.
She had to replace her car last summer so I asked her if she moved her winter emergency kit from the old car.
She said she had beach chairs and a croquet set. Did that count?

Successfully performed nibectomy on my Conklin crescent filler fountain pen. The original fine nib was hard to start, dry, and skipped. Though I've replaced nibs before, this was a first for a pen with an ink sac and I was nervous. It went exceedingly well, swapping in a medium nib. Quite happy.

New fountain pen. Stumbled across Nolapens.com at the City Park market this weekend. Snagged a nice pen made with recovered wood from streetcar seats. Very nice. He also has pens made from a downed oak tree from Audubon Park.

Most days there's a taqueria truck in this location just outside the Lowe's on Jefferson highway in New Orleans. I haven't seen him all week. Nor have I seen the dozens of customers or the day laborers around the entrances. I did see a car with "I am Charlie Kirk" on the window.
