also: give them good things to bite! i always had toys handy when i had my puppy. (i do not miss those days.)

cutie patootie!

goofy foster pic from the other night.

is there a version of this in article form? i have a hard time watching videos.

i’ll never understand why cat owners think it’s totally fine to let their cats run all around the neighborhood unchecked. my sister does this with her cat, claiming the cat is street smart about cars??? infuriating to say the least.

fun fact! dogs will scratch their ears/look away to show they are not a threat.

i was going to say some kind of neurological problem, but that could be it too.

there happens to be a great train from my town to the next that:

• is a lot cheaper than a ride share (only $7 for 30-40 miles)
• your bike rides for free
• is quicker or at least the same amount of time as driving
• picks you up and drops you off downtown

my only complaint is that it only runs 4 times per day, and it can’t really be used as a commuter train or getting home late because of the hours. most people here (raleigh and durham) don’t even know it’s an option.

*nervous laughter in cyclist*

good. i found a ton of these nasty little things in my backyard when i moved into my current house. the house was (no surprise) previously occupied by a bunch of undergrads.

that is what they’re doing.

“These are the vapes that have pink unicorns on them, bubblegum flavouring, disguised in order for them to hide them in their pencil cases,” Butler told a news conference.

To ensure the bans don’t limit access for smokers looking to quit, doctors and nurses will be given expanded powers in January to prescribe therapeutic vapes where clinically appropriate.

But therapeutic vapes will be restricted from using flavours, have limited nicotine levels and be sold in pharmaceutical packaging under new rules to be introduced next year, with a transition period for manufacturers to comply.

from what i understand, vaping is much easier to get into due to the taste/smell. so neither is good for anyone, but cigarettes are seen as gross and the companies that make vaping products have tricked teens into thinking that they’re safe.

like my dad always says: the best truck is one that sits in your driveway.

bikes and trains (and bikes on trains). busses if they’re frequent and reliable.

i have a truck for towing my travel trailer and doing other truck tasks like hauling stuff around in the bed (we take the small coupe or bikes everywhere else), and i love this idea!

i gotta start doing this when i’m on my bike with shitty drivers.

i will always refuse a straw when give the option.

i guess it’ll be my birthday present to myself.

i had cut all costs i was willing to, and just started a side hustle the last couple of months. the breathing room is sooo nice, and the work is easy enough (per sitting at other people’s houses via rover).

serious: i love truck stop egg salad sandwiches. don’t tempt me!
