Well...last night I just had a perfectly normal nightmare about going on a hike...with bears.

Odd that so many of those counties have federal workers (CS, military, and contractors). It's like they might be a little fed up 😬

Oh yeah, the launch to ISS before that explosion I drove out from Naptown to the South end of Bogues Bay and got the chat with HS students and their teacher about their experiment on board (and taught their teacher to lock the focus on their new DSLR 😂)

Ohhh yeah, my folks are near Yorktown and I know they see a lot (inc the time a launch blew up and I decided not to drive to Wallops and was set up with cameras next to the Naval Academy).

Please may he take it with love (or something) when we say to his face that he's not able to play an edgy fucking twat.

Friend who lives in Woodbrook says their Albemarle County polling place which is the neighbourhood elementary school regularly has a bake sale. One year when we worked together pie was brought in from that bake sale.

I freaking hate that being in industry these days basic things like...planning and roadmaps are somehow magically a "soft skill".

I was at least one of the first replies on the post in the Charlottesville subreddit 😭

Much of Virginia: anxiously watching not the Gov or Lt Gov race because we all know the fracking AG is what we need to worry about at this point.

Oh, hmmm, I wonder if my harvesting basket on a pole thingie I use for our peaches would help 🤔

Oh, if that's the link straight off their webpage, it's the same backup I tried to epic fail. For now I've got VPAP up.

I'm on my phone and it doesn't load in either Chrome or Firefox 😬 Trying to refresh eventually gives a page not found error.

Erin Ryan @erinleeryan.bsky.social · 12h

Lol everyone must be hitting the server because I can't get anything to load 🤣

American East Coast subreddits tonight: "What the fuck was that weird spiral in the sky? Was it Aliens?"

No, y'all it was the Ariane 6 launch with Sentinel 1-D which is still pretty damn cool, gogo synthetic aperture radar.

Taco Tuesday has turned into enchiladas verde, but where I use cooked chicken breast from the freezer, two partial containers of tomato salsa in the fridge, and leftover jar of queso from a crunchwraps attempt the other week along with refried black beans for the filling 😬

I hope you snagged as many as you want to eat!

* "whomever dropped off". Holy typos when also trying to deal with the dog 🤦‍♀️

Erin Ryan @erinleeryan.bsky.social · 13h

Yay, a big thank you to qhomevee deopped off their excess squash and luffa gourd seeds in the Free Seed and Produce library this afternoon! (Though I got to explain luffa to the spouse)

Looks like between early voting and the voters before 1pm that the city is running around 41% turnout thus far.

Erin Ryan @erinleeryan.bsky.social · 20h

Went and voted and it was far busier than I've seen in a good long while.

Marine Science friends: I think this would tickle some of your fancies.

Y'all...Freya says I am straight ass going yo hell if my baking of sourdough bread does not include a batch of discard cheese crackers for her as dog treat. I have been snacking on the crackers tonight and....she has corner of the mouth labrador drool (yes, I shared with our local pittie lab).

Erin Ryan @erinleeryan.bsky.social · 1d

Ah and thanks to Freya barking I see him walking across the street now.

Erin Ryan @erinleeryan.bsky.social · 1d

And now we play....last message from spouse was an hour and a half ago and he's still not home 😬

Erin Ryan @erinleeryan.bsky.social · 1d

Yep, and I was worried as spouse's work (not UVA) is on Grounds and the library is his bike route home and he was supposed to come home early today. He just replied to my message giving a heads up.
