Thanks for the good wishes. That means a lot to our family.

Currently heavily involved in helping to run the virtual s/f convention, Balticon 55:

How did Balticon 55 go? Hope it was a great success!

The organizers count it as a huge success; they seem to have this vitual convention thing down, although they're looking forward to getting back to an in-person convention next year.

Great! Glad to hear it. :thumbs:

Bears are at it again:

This is actually a not uncommon occurrence when bears and humans live in the same general area.

Today is my wife and my 58th wedding anniversary. Met on a blind date 61 years ago marrying 3 years later. Looks like it's going to work. :D

Still, she is the highpoint of my life and if I could do it all over again ... I would.

(congratulatory head bobs) on such a success!

Thank you! Had a great day and a wonderful dinner at a local restaurant. Looking forward to the future!

I have the song "Never smile at a Crocodile" stuck in my head.

Took a couple of long naps today (Wed) catching up from a long (good) day Tuesday. Fairly awake right now, but will probably lay down fairly soon.

Some dipshit decided to run into a pedestrian bridge last night in DC:

Dentist today. And my teeth said I never bought them anything. :(

Worried about what the horrible heat wave in the northwest is going to do to people out there.

Heartbreaking and anger-making
 

TW: deaths of children

The finds of mass unmarked graves at Canada's "residential schools" for indigenous peoples continues: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/canada...ves-2021-06-30/

So, now I'm waiting for the shit to hit the fan here in the US, as we had similar "schools."
