Today’s portmanteau — tilapia is truly terrible; they ought to call it terribilapia.

Pal of mine sent me vid of her dog in her yard … I just advised herself to check herself for ticks, in the same manner my mother used to say to me.

Throwback Thursday: U2’s “Tryin’ To Throw Your Arms Around The World” (1991)

Leave a comment

I love this song.  This was the ninth track from U2’s landmark 1991 album, “Achtung Baby.”  I remember listening to this song while munching on Butterfingers candy bars, cramming nervously for psych exams in my dorm room during the 1993/94 school year at Mary Washington College.

By psych exams, I mean tests in my psychology classes — not tests administered to me by a psychiatric professional.  But, hey, maybe they should have given me the latter.  It might have saved everyone a lot of time.

I finally got the dam picture!!

Leave a comment

This is … a beaver dam?  I think?  I spotted it in the Roanoke River the other night … there were furballs of some kind down there, and I saw an enormous heron swoop down to join them. I shot video, but it was too dark to share.

Is it a beaver dam?  Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.  I won’t be embarrassed.  You know I am a native New Yorker, and have no acumen for Virginia fauna.  Maybe it’s a muskrat maze or ferret fortress or a nutria superstructure.  You tell me.

Somebody wrote me a note and wrote “Nolantheless” as a segue.

Oh, BRAVE new world that has such people in it.

I got really excited the other night — I saw an immense, graceful heron glide over the Roanoke River to land beside a … beaver dam!!  Which had apparently always been there, but which had heretofore escaped my notice!  And there were beavers bobbing and swimming about!  (I’m guessing they are nocturnal?)

I tried to get pictures and video for the whole gang — but it was too dark.  The footage I shot was all shadow.

Then I made the mistake of excitedly posting the following on Facebook: “I just saw a beavers and a heron!”

The.  Jokes.  Will.  Not.  Stop.  (Sheesh, you people.)

This includes a lot of “heroin” comments.  I’m kinda surprised by the level of drug-related humor out there.

Pal of mine tonight: “I will need moral support!”

Me: “Will amoral support suffice? That’s kinda my thing.”

Throwback Thursday: Gen X Bingo!

Found on Facebook.  (And, as you can see, myfreebingocards.com is credited.)

As I think I’ve mentioned before, the “Oregon Trail” video game jokes are lost on me.  I remember neither hide nor hair of the iconic game from my own 1980’s childhood.  And I’m half-convinced there’s some sort of “Mandela effect” at work here.
