Eh... I'll manage. Typing one-handed, though... There's a reason to be grumpy if ever there was one.

Yeah, I injured my left hand a while back and was typing one-handed for a week. I lack hunt & peck skills, so was very slow. Hope your recovery is swift !

I'm grumpy because Bad Penny hasn't posted here lately. Where has Bad Penny gone to? I miss him.

As his name implies, he comes and goes. I miss him too when he's wandering elsewhere.

You may recognize some of the audience if you are old enough.

Since I'm taking a break from gaming right now, I guess I'll be catching up with what's on Netflix.

Finished what's available for season four of Stranger Things. The cliffhanger, yes you read that right, at least clarified something. The conclusion won't be available till July 1st. Why? Why do that?

Anywho, then I watched Welcome to Eden

A group of young adults attend a party on a remote island, but the tempting paradise they find waiting for them holds dangerous secrets and entrapments.

I liked it.

Now I'm watching and finishing up with Cracow Monsters

A young woman haunted by her past joins a mysterious professor and his group of gifted students who investigate paranormal activity and fight demons.

Liking it, as well.

the sparrow hawks are fledging. time is running by at breakneck speed. summer in three weeks.

anyway, this one popped down and got stuck in the tall grass, so my loveley wife picked it up and set it on the old chicken run before the cats could find it. turn the sound on.

 iasked her whether the parents were upset, and she said . . .yes. you can hear them freaking out in th etreetops

sparrow hawks are small, but fierce.

the toads are still trilling, and the hyla versicolor are still calling. but the equinozx is approaching.

Hurt my shoulder, so doing "everything" one-handed. Hugely inconvenient.

If you can do it, try hanging on a bar. It sounds crazy, but it usually helps. Much better to heal with a full range of motion.

i dont see good guys with guns being the solution for stopping mass shootings. thats just a brainless right wing argument. in my experience most gun owners arent very good with their weapons. but it happens. this was 6 hours ago, an hour from my house

BBC News - Armed female bystander kills man firing at party in West Virginia
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-61615236

but in uvalde there were 19 good guys with guns in the hallway, listening to 21 people die. good guys didnt help them.

the situation in uvalde and this one in west virginia are worth comparing. both were very bad situations. one got worse and one didnt.
