The party-hearty neighbors got a bass for Xmas.
And an amp.
That goes to 11.
These are the peeps whose fireworks set off car alarms. 10/10 for enthusiasm, but I wish they’d go to bed.

Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda: Dad’s Xmas present was a day of unlimited play here. First is our fave. 2nd is for the diorama. 3rd is 1940s-50s. 4th is early 60s. It was incredible!

The same cats who usually start lobbying for dinner at 2:30 in the afternoon are now peacefully napping, half an hour after din-din is usually served at 4:00.
I'm not waking them up. Let's see how late I can reset them to.

The sun unexpectedly came out today after three weeks of high fog, so we took a drive in the country, to the far distant fruit stand with the chicken tikka masala pot pies.
Guess what I’m having for dinner tonight!

Meanwhile, the disruption to my schedule meant I forgot to feed the cats… and they were so confused, they forgot to beg.
45 minutes after the usual din-din time, they cats were just hanging out, unperturbed.

It’s so frustrating, trying to explain that taking the bus is not this Huge Hardship. Yes, I prefer that my car runs.
But taking the bus to and from downtown involves a couple blocks of walking at each end and a relaxing 30-minute ride that’s pretty direct.

My car completely went dead in the middle of a left turn downtown. I wrestled it to the curb with its remaining momentum, ending up perfectly parked.
It has been towed to its mechanic, with a surprisingly quick tow truck arrival.
More drama than I expected today!

Parsley has initiated cuddling with her Unka Spokescat! They were lounging, and she rolled over to lean against him. She’s a standoffish cat, so this is huge. #catsofbluesky

Today, the fence guys are starting to lay concrete block.
Last week, the neighborhood cats were all coming to the patio door to alert us that "momeraths are stealing the old fence!" and "momeraths are pouring concrete!"

The kitchen shelf in the MCM McMansion was scuffed, so I repainted it, then used my Dollar Tree peel-and-stick to give it a butcher block top and tin panel sides. #dollhouse #dollhouseminiatures #MCMMcMansion

Delta’s gate people in Sacramento actually told us why our plane was delayed and gave accurate updates. (It did depart; I’m now at SLC with time to spare for my connection.)
Candor is not a quality I associate with airlines.
