Pumpkin is great as decoration, food, or just in general.

So instead of zucchini bread, a courgette baguette.

In 1287 AD, people are antisemitic some more. In particular, King Edward I of England orders the expulsion of Jews from the duchy of Gascony, and confiscates their property.

Yeah if there’s gonna be a pandemic it could at least be sunny most of the time. (Occasional intense but brief showers permitted to prevent drought, but they really should come with rainbows.)

Turns out the weather forecasts in upstate NY and southern Quebec are vaguely similar. Weird coincidence.

If we’re talking about upstate NY and southern Quebec (as opposed to Schenectady and Montreal) they are in fact 0 cm apart from each other. Unless there’s a DMZ in between that I wasn’t aware of.

Imaginary lines are of indeterminate thickness.
Though, really, Quebec borders the North Country, not Upstate New York. New York regional borders are complicated.

TIL about the North Country
My immediate thought was “wait is this what Bob Dylan’s song Girl From the North Country is about” but a brief investigation makes it sound like he’s maybe got England on his mind. Hard to say with that guy.

Last week we had a couple of 20+ days (during daytime in direct sunlight). By weekend we were cloudy/rainy/typical raincouver greyness and down to about 12 during the daytime.
I have plenty of warm sweaters and top layers, but find myself suddenly wanting warm, sherpa-lined pants.

They're infinitely thin, but only Aldo Itri can draw them 99% thin enough and only God can make them 100% thin. You could maybe make them 98% thin enough if you're really good.

Was dry and sunny so I went out for a walk.
Quickly turned overcast and rainy.
Now I'm back, it's dry and sunny again.

The RDM remembers seeing TXT2NITE at some point. Probably because it's still listed as an Affiliate on this vey page.

Seems it still exists. It actually made a fair bit of money in ad revenue and was part of the reason Man of TXT decided to help buy SG.
