Ending my lovely holiday week with a second (asymptomatic) bout of COVID yay!!!
Access cover on the main sewage stack in my basement rusted and just fell off, so sewage has been dripping in my basement. This is allegory for like everything.
Black people will probably bail us out again, and then the rest of us probably won't grant them all that they're due.
Well that’s decided, I need a new kitchen now
Been awhile since I took one of these for a spin
