@kf Hmm, I'm considering replacing my all-but-destroyed Birkenstocks and these look kinda nifty. I wonder if they would not be so easily destroyed :thinknyan:

Also, I think I need to point a trail camera or something at this new pond. I couldn't attract crows to the backyard with peanuts, but they're digging the water.

And, every morning, I get up to find something's been messed with - fountain knocked over, power cords dragged around. Once, something had pulled the filter pump entirely out of the water. I suspect raccoons and I suspect they're cute as heck

I'm not usually one for genealogy, but I think I might have just discovered that I have Canadian great-grandparents on my Dad's side? This is... kind of exciting?

Never met my great-grandfather on that side - he passed a few years before I was born - but apparently I'm named after him. And maybe possibly if we get the right documents together, I'll have inherited Canadian citizenship through him. That would be rad, because I love Canada!

On my Dad's Dad's side, my great-grandfather was born in Quebec, great-grandmother in Ontario, and I guess they paired up and left for Detroit so he could work in the auto industry. Now I'm like, okay cool, that was a good run, can I go back though? :blobSmileSweating:

@mos_8502 d'awww, shucks!

@mos_8502 I guess my wife has discovered similar family connections, so we're off on a document hunt!

@macross I think this time we're just going to airlift our entire property and move it across the border :blobSmileSweating:

@gwcoffey@mastodon.social That's a good question? From what I've seen of the law as of December, there's not a practical limit. But I have to think that reading is absurd

Lady Gaga came up on streaming shuffle and I'm reminded that, holy crap, I really like Lady Gaga - at least her pop stuff.

Hadn't gotten around to listening to anything but "Disease" and "Abracadabra" from her new album Mayhem - but I'm halfway through and dang it's all bangers so far. Also I could have almost sworn I heard IAMX on "Perfect Celebrity", but I don't think that's correct
