Today is Leif Erikson Day. The day commemorates the arrival of Erikson and the Norse in what is now Canada around 1000 years ago and the founding of the Norse settlement of L'Anse aux meadows in Newfoundland and Labrador. 🎨 Hans Dahl

“…a very unsavoury-looking girl…”
People ask me about Canada, and I just recite some lyrics to them. Way up north, we've got a name for rain and wind and fire. The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe and we call the wind Mariah. And the streets are paved with gold, and no one ever grows old in that frozen land called Canada!
One time, I got into a friend’s car and noticed they’d been playing a Mix-CD I burned in 1999. Apparently it had gotten mixed in with a bunch of other CDs at some point, which led to it being there, but nobody else knew I’d made it. Then I was told the album was pretty great. Anyway we got married.
The kitty cat has the zoomies! 😂 She’s been running the length of the house for the past ten minutes !
For Banned Book Week 2026, I’m reading a vastly overlooked title, “CHOKE GASP! The best of 75 years of EC Comics.” I’d not read these comics before, and they’re definitely quite violent. Probably okay for older kids, but they spook the heck out of ME!
Jeffrey Archer died…? I’ve not read any of his books, but he sure was prolific. I’m probably still not going to.
One time my mom thought she saw me on Springer. Then, over the summer when the show reran, she thought she saw me on Springer again.

My partner just made a surprise mac ‘n’ cheese casserole seasoned with a light jalapeño sauce, and I want to get married at the nearest Vegas cathedral (where Joan Collins and Britney Spears got married. To different people.) The person who made this mac ‘n’ cheese truly loves me. I can taste it!
You can enjoy this cat video fine this way, but turn on the sound to hear that monster purr!!! 😻
Taaaake meeee hooome, dear muddah faddah. Taaaake meeee hooome, I hate Grenada…
Put all my messages on a spike, please — I shan’t be leaving the house until I’ve finished reading this marvelous book! (“Take Part” wasn’t included because, apparently, it was filmed in Ottawa, not Toronto! Dang. I didn’t know Ottawa had such a stranglehold on Javax bottle puppetry!)
This adorable creature…!! 😭😭😭 She watches for me to pass by, then meows at me until I come visit!
Me: "OK I'll come but I'm only having one drink" Also me an hour later:
Ooo here’s a selfie from, like, over seven years ago…!
Yesterday I enjoyed a black licorice milkshake, which got me to wondering: how awesome would a cinnamon ice pop taste? 👅
Clawdia is nocturnal…! She woke me up mewing this morning, and wouldn’t stop until I joined her in my office for pets. I fell asleep on the floor, so she woke me up by slapping me in the face with her claws extended. Wanted more pets. This went on for four hours. I adore this sweet l’il kitty cat!
She’s still quite skittish, but nowhere near as wild as she was those first few days! This little cat’s going to be fine. 💕 They said she’s 2, but there’s wayyy too much kitten left in her to be much older than 18 months. Her little mew is too delicate to be a full-fledged adult!

Oh dear… Clawdia has found my partner’s action figure collectibles, and she’s dragged the accessories all around the living room rug. I personally took the fall for yesterday’s Lego fiasco, but I don’t think my partner’s going to believe these are my bite marks all over everything… 😥
Happy October Eve! For Hallozeen this year, I made a 16-page walkthrough for a 36 year-old shareware classic. Primarily out of trash. I have no idea who the target audience is for this, besides me, but here you go! emmfoolery.itch.io/a-hallozeen-... #dosgaming #retrogaming
It will become my pilgrimage to make at least one foray to Mirror Lake before my ultimate destination, Fire Lake. 💕
Did you know that Carlsbad Caverns has a SUBTERRANEAN CAFETERIA!? Since 1930!?!? I knew I’d find some reason to live…! 🥰🥰🥰 This is incredible news to me. I have to get to Carlsbad Caverns before I get too old to enjoy it!
