So release sparrows in the Arctic and mammoths in Australia. 

That should solve everything. 

 

It's a bit late on the sparrow's thing.  And I don't think Mammoths woolly coat would do well in Australia.  And while the “rabbit fence” tried to stopped the spread of rabbits across the whole continent, I don't think a simple fence would stop mammoths.  And I know there aren't any predators large enough to take down a mammoth in Australia.

Large enough? Maybe not.

Murderous enough? I am less sure of that.

Happy St. Gertrude day! I have a cat and don't drink green beer.

I just had a private elementary school (based on uniforms, Catholic) class walk down the sidewalk in front of my house, making the noise that only a bunch of excited kids can make.  This triggered my “open the door and see WTF is going on” instinct.  Several of the boys taking up the rear waved at me.  I waved back.  That counts as my “deal with people for the day”.

While I am generally opposed to “hacking” a website and doxxing mods, I might make an exception here.

The East Kingdom of the SCA just held the first “rapier” crown tournament in SCA history.  Normally, a crown tourney in the East has between 20 and 40 people in it.  There were 84 in this one.

I'm pretty sure cults have been founded on less.

Of course, the armor is nowhere near right for any of the gothic sacks of Rome.

True, I was expecting a Joan of Arc punchline, based on the armor.

Goths can be impressive.

The Huns were overrated,

Heracleia, getting drunk like you wouldn't believe. I still feel twinges from the blinding hangover I woke up with three days later.

Ok, I'll give you a pass on the charge of looting.

I must sleep. Sleep is the mind-healer. Sleep is the big-life that brings total ability to fucking do anything. I will face my bed. I will permit the blankie to pass over me and snores to pass through me. And when sleep has gone past I will turn the outer eye to greet the new morning. When the sleep has gone there will be everything. Energy and will to live will remain.

There is a period of time with a headache, mainly migraines, but sometimes with “normal both sides of the head” headaches, that I can feel the pressure of the headache, but, mainly due to analgesics, I'm not in pain.
It's a sign of something that I've gotten to the point that I almost enjoy that feeling.
Having a non migraine version now.
