"But barf bags are special because they’re not meant to be collected. In fact, they weren’t originally even intended for vomit in the first place." https://www.thrillist.com/travel/nation/airline-barf-bag-collectors-history

@Shanmonster @willaful Yeah, I don't understand airlines “economising" by skimping on or getting rid of barf bags. When they're needed, they're absolutely critical, for everyone in the vicinity.

Today has been incredibly odd, but I got good wordcount in, there's a chance for things to turn out well in the near future, someone else is making dinner, and the kids are excited for movie night.

I'll take it.

(This week's movie is ARGYLL, which my daughter tells me is like MR RIGHT, so as long as Sam Rockwell chews some scenery and the cat survives, I shall be content.)

@caointeoireacht Which Hemsworth?

@Shanmonster He’s so great. The SNL Scorched Corset skit lives in my head rent-free.

My favourite line written so far today: "...with the sour expression of a bureaucrat forced to relay unpalatable news to the unwashed public."

It made me snort-giggle, and that's all I ask for.

I don’t know how that squirrel got on the neighbor’s roof but I hope it has some kind of escape plan.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

Squirrel is rooting in the gutters as if looking for gold. I think I know how it landed on Neighbour's Roof, but damned if I can tell how it'll be able to leave.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

Neighbour has exited house and is peering at roof, expression indignant and lips moving. I believe a fist might be shaken soon.

Squirrel seems unfazed.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

...I think the squirrel is off the roof now. All I can say is that escalated predictably quickly and I'm glad I was inside.

OH DEAR LORD NO

SQUIRREL SIMPLY LEAPT INTO FOLIAGE TO GATHER REINFORCEMENTS

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

There are now two squirrels on the roof, digging in the gutters. I can only imagine the noise; Neighbour is watching in astonishment.

Despite some experience, I do not feel it in anyone's best interest to offer advice at this juncture.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

(I, uh, would counsel that nothing else be thrown at the roof but I don't think my suggestion would be taken kindly.)

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

Oh dear. I hope the window isn't damaged.

Squirrels still oblivious, joined by third. Gutters must have something good in them.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

In desperation, Neighbour has armed themselves with patio umbrella.

Squirrels STILL oblivious.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

So. Patio umbrella is in Neighbour's fountain, squirrels have forsaken gutters and escaped (by truly amazing leaps) into hedge of arborvitae, and I am not sure if the window is broken.

I don't even know.

I'm gonna go make more coffee and try to forget I ever witnessed that.

@msquebanh By any reasonable estimation, I believe they were victorious in this particular incident.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

@artemis No idea, but let's just say...given this neighbour, I'm not surprised at this form of problem-solving.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

@courtcan I was…taken aback. I thought the squirrels would just cavort a bit!

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

@mcpinson There are people who hand-raise them around here. I can’t even imagine.

lilithsaintcrow,
@lilithsaintcrow@raggedfeathers.com avatar

@SpeakerToManagers @mcpinson There does seem to be a low-grade war between the two. I've seen squirrels and crows work together against seagulls, but most of the time they seem to delight in one-upping each other.
