The fire is working 🔥

It's getting darker and misting rain, but I'm still having a good time

You know, when we first moved from Michigan to Oregon, I was worried I'd be depressed by the rain. But turns out I like it being all damp and mossy for winter instead of snowy and dead

@kpl i mean, to be fair, it's more dormant than dead. But it was a lot of ice and mud and brown and not much green

@bitofabother i enjoy the moisturizing season

It is dark. I am likely to be eaten by a grue. But the turkey is close to target temperature

@bitofabother your civic responsibility is appreciated! (I have to do that near our house a bunch too)

The has entered the building

Turns out I still can't carve a turkey for crap, but I tried to honor its contribution to our holiday. The rest goes into the stock pot for future soups

Hmm, "Future Soups" - sounds like a good band name

@davidrevoy You're right to question that incantation, here's how it went wrong...

@mdhughes Had a copy of that album on cassette back in the day, played the crap out of it until my cheap k-mart walkman ate it
