Excuse me, low balls simply happen when you get older. It’s a natural facet of aging!

I’ve been fascinated by pterosaurs lately. The book Pterosaurs by Mark P Witton is great.

Pterosaurs interest me because of their wing morphology. Instead of having the wing membrane between all the “fingers” like a bat, it’s attached to their equivalent of a pinky finger in such a way it can fold up enough that they could use all four limbs to navigate on land. They just have such an interesting body shape that no animal today really has.

They also got much bigger than birds. Like, to the point that I want to write a fantasy book where the premise is that dragons are like …the only pterosaur that survived extinction. Because it would be cool to have a dragon that’s directly not related to modern reptiles, birds, or mammals…but still is speculatively based on a flying animal that did once exist.

Pterosaur is a good one to look up.

I got bifocals.

They’re already not strong enough :(

Me: The bowl’s empty, isn’t it?

I’m using Boost.

That’s awesome! And a huge relief I’m sure.

I went to Costco and got 7 shirts and paid only $38ish total.

Plus $3.05 for a giant slice of pepperoni and a pop.

Downside: I didn’t get the pants I was hoping to find. But oh well.

I thought the ac was broken in my work truck for several days in July because I forgot I had turned the heat on one chilly morning and for some reason my eyes repeatedly didn’t catch that dumb temperature dial still turned to heat. I kept pushing the ac button on and off and then just ended up sweltering because I basically had the heat on in July.

That dumbassery will humble me for a while.
