Look at this face

Take a good long look. This is what “in over your head” looks like.

Like a canned ham, freshly sprung from its aluminum prison. Glistening with pineapple slices and stupidity. Easter morning when you wake up to find your basket filled with not eggs, but Neo-nazis and Sean Hannity.

It’s back to school time. I really like my students. I’d love to have another few weeks before classes start. Summer flies by. I have zero legs to stand on when it comes to complaining about short summer breaks. I get three months of paid vacation. I mean I have to go in like once a month over the summer, but come on. Who gets 3 months? Not even the French get that much time off.

How do I stop the crickets and caterpillars from eating my kale and lettuce? I’m seriously asking? I built a crop box back in June and my harvest is pitiful. Do I have to do that cayenne pepper spray thing? I guess I can look it up.

I’m getting an electric bike. After riding Lime bikes all over Seattle last month I’ve decided to get the RadCity Commuter. I impulse purchased it off the internet — spurred on by the notice on their website that thanks to dummy dumb dumb (see above) their prices will all go up by 20% due to tariffs as of the 23rd of August. So I saved myself some money and got an electric bike which is something I’ve been wanting for a while now. I will die on this bike. To say that I am accident prone is an understatement. I am all scar tissue and metal plates at this point. Broken leg 1978, broken leg 1981, punctured lungs 1990, bee swarm attack 1997, broken arm 2008, spinal injury 2010, hernia 2018. I’m not even kidding about the bees.

I watched “I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore” last night. Great title. That’s like a Fassbinder title. The movie was pretty good. A solid B+. Best line, “The world is filled with horrible people. They’re all assholes and dildos.” Very true. See above.
