Despite being almost December, Seaside -- a not-posh resort town -- was pretty crowded. Overcast, but warm (50 F) and dry.
Found a game store. The clerk had written some RPG stuff for a game I was unfamiliar with.
Also spotted this "viking stuff" store. I like the mascot.

I took Daphne to the coast -- Seaside, OR -- to run around on the beach and go on a long walk along the Promenade.
She found, on the beach, a . . . thing.
Which she rolled in.
It was mostly buried, but I poked and scraped it with a shoe. It appeared to have dense, short, white fur.
A dead seal?

I'll call that a success.
Leftovers packed. Kitchen fairly clean.
Waiting to digest before pie and ice cream.
Daphne got shrimp tails and will get the salmon skin.

My first dog was a Belgian Sheepdog "mostly".
I tried really hard to find a rescue for dog #3, but they are hard to find!

I need to buy rum for holiday fruitcake making.
I had to use Google Maps to locate a liquor store.
To show how out of touch I am with the whole alcohol thing.
(I buy the absolute cheapest rum for baking. Also good for removing paint.)

2/ Do not spend your days doting over hot takes on how 🍊🐷 is going to do This so that This will happen leading to an eternity of troops marching through our streets and nothing good happening forever.
Find the good people who are doing good things *right now* and figure out how you can pitch in.

1/ So MAGA powerhouse MTG is resigning and Mamdani's White House appearance made him look *really good*.
So I'm once again going to post these excerpts from Howard Zinn's "The Optimism of Uncertainty," because *we are not trapped in a historical narrative.*

I go through several pairs of sneakers a year. Walking 65 - 70 miles a week, I just wear them out.
I bought these at a thrift store. Nike "Air Huaracne." Weird double layer structure. Hard to put on, but very nice support.

1/ Found in a Little Free Library: Judy "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and "Superfudge."
Both about Peter Hatcher and his manic toddler brother "Fudge." Peter narrates both.
Light reading for before nodding off.

Daphne's seventh blood donation attempt later this morning. She's getting dope to chill her out in an hour and a half.
Fingers crossed. I really want another success today.

About 20 years ago there was an ad for whooping cough vaccines, aimed at grandparents. It was supposed to convey the idea that you would pose a danger to tots if you weren't vaccinated.
But holy frack, how TOTALLY COOL would it be to have wolf grandparents? Or elderly wolf neighbors who knew shit?

So, I think I've found the killer app that will get me to buy a 3D printer.
See rocket plan below.
I don't want to print parts. I want to build an alignment jig that will hold the outrigger pods on that first stage in perfect alignment while the blue dries.

Got two "Too Good To Go" deals last night.
The two "meh" items -- for me -- are the breakfast wrap and the small quiche. I really don't like eggs or omelets. Freezing them for guests.
Ate two donuts. Good donuts.

Coyote from next laptop, Hyena for the corner of a protest poster.
The hyena's dainty, smirky smile is priceless.

Went to a neighborhood charity bake sale benefiting a local group helping immigrants under threat from 🧊.
They wanted to do volunteer food deliveries.
Got them the email for the area's mutual aid network.
This is how it works.
