Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14525) • Ireland 21h

There’s a smell of decay and nostalgia floating in the night air here. Someone’s been burning the autumn leaves they’ve raked up in their garden and I’m loving it. Smells like this take me back to various times in my life, happy...

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14525) • Ireland 22 Oct

A lovely letter from the government was waiting for me when I arrived home this afternoon. At first I was reluctant to open it because government agencies usually only write letters when they think you owe them money, but not this...

Wow, That Was Some Cheap Milk

Jim Bauer @porwest (109693) • United States 22 Oct

These days, when you find a real bargain, it almost makes you want to shout from the hilltops. I am nowhere near a hilltop, so I will just shout from my tiny little platform here on myLot. I went to Ruler Foods yesterday,...

Oh, the Armadillos

Jim Bauer @porwest (109693) • United States 22 Oct

Whenever I drive through Missouri, I'm struck by how many armadillos line the roadside. But here's the thing—they're all dead! Every last one. I don't think I've ever seen a living armadillo in my life. It's like they're...
