@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyPotataco: Really excellent fried potatoes, wrapped in a pancake, with bacon on top. ๐ FUND MY FOOD TRUCK
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyThe lack of good breakfast potatoes in the Rogue is so disturbing to me I have a completely bonkers idea of opening up a home fries food truck; you get a big bowl of really excellent fried potatoes with a choice of toppings eggs or waffle or gravy or hatch chile sauce ๐
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyMostly what we do when we travel to California is eat things we can't seem to easily find in the rogue valley: great Mexican food, great breakfasts (especially good home fried potatoes), and any sort of banh mi. I have not yet had to make a huge 99 Ranch/H Mart raid but that is probably on the [โฆ]
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gySpent the last week-ish in the Bay Area and in southern California, hopefully our last road trip of the year. Here is your obligatory freeway photo of The Big Mountain.

Transcript: So here I am on the mountain, on the trail, and I've kind of made a mistake. This is an eight mile loop all the way around which I can do pretty easily if I feel good...but I'm not feeling all that good. And I got to 3 [โฆ]
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@jef Are you sure you are not just being given your choice of battlefields?
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyHere is Cato, a tabby cat, in his favorite spot on the top shelf of the closet. He picked that spot and it is his spot; we put a towel down to make him more comfortable. I bought an actual cat bed that would fit up there, but then Minna stole it for the [โฆ]
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy3/ Anyhow I sucessfuly got vaxxed and had a bit of a feverish night but I mostly feel OK now. Hooray vaccines! (But also: Ketchup? Ketchup??? what on earth? Yeah that's me I am battling ketchup. I got The Big K. Gonna get myself a red ribbon to wear for Ketchup Awareness. ๐ ๐)
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy2/ Then I was sitting in the vax waiting area which was busy. An elderly man with a cane came up and there were no seats left, and because I was the youngest person there of course I hopped up and offered mine. Oh, no, no he insisted. Keep your seat. You are the one with cancer. ๐
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy๐งต1/ Got my covid and flu vax yesterday at CVS. Clicked the button for "weakened immune system" when they asked me for a medical condition (because I am under 65). This is not a lie! Chemo mucked up my white blood cells. But this is the first time I got called up to the counter and quizzed on it [โฆ]
@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyToday in Master Gardener: this herb demonstration garden in front of the extension office has been essentially abandoned for years now. They put out a call for a new head gardener to take it over.
Say hi to the new head gardener. ๐ค

@lemay.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI have read that in the new climate future apocalypse we will have a lot fewer insects overall but more of the angry stingy kind, and they will be much angrier and stingier. yay ๐ฌ ๐ Anyhow I was thinking of this because I got stung by a yellowjacket in town on Thursday for no reason at all and [โฆ]
