I didn’t want another dog. My girlfriend did. So we compromised and got another dog. Meet Bailey. Bailey’s for scale. (Source: http://ift.tt/2CaU5ke)

It’s a shame the National Geographic folks couldn’t have shot this thing when it was painted–but here’s the finished standing Quetzalcoatlus. He’s taller than a modern giraffe!

Gracias! Le odio

According to researchers, these things could fly almost halfway around the earth in one go.

I had already concluded that they just weren’t coming, but I finally got those thermal socks! (6 pairs.) Ordered on the 9th, looking now.

Probably just as well that there was no sheep included, with the shipping time. Might be the difference between Prime shipping and not, in the run-up to Christmas, since they were listed as plenty in stock 🙄

(And it was Amazon delivering. While I was in the bathroom earlier, of course, but I was extra glad I made it to the door before the guy left.)

It had warmed up some in the meantime, but these are about to go straight into the washing machine because I want them wearable ASAP. It’s back to hovering around freezing–actually really cold for here–and the heating in here leaves a lot to be desired.

Now I’m just hoping the wool content won’t itch my feet off. I hate buying clothes and maybe especially socks without being able to feel the material first, but these do seem pretty soft and non-prickly. How my feet may feel about it is a different matter, but we’ll see.

Also still not thrilled about needing to get the special non-binding socks, preferably with cushioned soles, but at least you can find a somewhat decent selection online. Could have done without the wait on these, however.

Fun fact: cats don’t just wiggle their butts before they pounce out of excitement – they’re also making tiny adjustments to the position of their feet in order to more precisely aim the ensuing lunge.

Or, in other words: your cat is calibrating.
