Closer to Earth than Mercury.

I’ve always enjoyed a stout Minnesota accent. Very cosy and fun. Sexy… Is a bit beyond my use case.

Dust is the best one: to cover in dust (like sugar on a pastry) or to remove dust from (like a bookshelf).

Also a noun.

A kingly passtime.

Time for round two! Wouldn’t want to run out of animals, after all.

Is that how it works? I’ve had dogs try breeding my leg, cats not so much. That anecdote presents an opposite case.

It’s said you can know someone by the company they keep, and God hasn’t yet seen fit to rid himself (or the rest of us) of those that claim and debase His name.

Until such time, I’m fine without.

I was born in _arch, btw.

But why Katakana? Those are some reasonably basic kanji- certainly not beyond bird anyway.

Are those event buttondowns or does NASA have a burgundy uniform?

I guess I learned our most cherished Western stereotype is actually central asian. And that we have a major problem of invasive species across all biomes.

Is it kudzu? Shit’s everywhere.

It’s commonly known as a ‘liberty cap’. They show up in a lot of flags and media from the 18th and 19th centuries.

Exclusively as comrade (not pictured)

Why are the night critters in bed?

Best news I’ve seen all week.

This is a transgenic mouse

I dunno, I like going slow- that is to say near the limit- and will have people ride me the entire time in a passing zone or blaze past me in a double yellow.

Edit: It’s the best because I get to watch these same cars pull into the parking lot 500 yards down the road. Really saved them the extra fraction of a second.

Damn. If only there was a way that cars could pass each other.

Just so. The periphery of the parks may be visited- a shared border between worlds where the most intrepid of both may briefly meet, but just as bears and raccoons are driven out of suburbs, so too should people be driven from the deeper parks.

As for the sanctity of life, it’s more of a balancing in my eyes. No life should be valued so as to cause undue stress to survivors. But I suppose my rather callous attitude is anathema to most.
