Ok so I didn’t actually have half of four bottles of wine last night, a la Linda Belcher, but I did fall asleep at like 10:30 and now it’s 5:43AM so here’s your DOT…
She’s so chaotic I love her
Apparently I slept through this… Were any of you guys in a position to see???
Have a great day!!
i feel cheated…couldnt sleep so i was up all night…perfectly clear skies…did i get any northern lights? fuck no!
the south of the country did….now in a country bigger than a postal stamp i’d consider that fair game
but here we are talking maybe 2 hours drive away….that side of the country gets all the good thunderstorms too….
its not fair!
I saw them! The city’s light pollution made them very faint. I also saw bats that must be roosting in between the boards of my house.
the bbc decided to rub it in and show me a picture of somewhere really not very far from me…
so unfair….
…apparently “night mode” on a phone camera makes a world of difference?
probably true but i wouldnt know as my phone has a potato camera..especially in anything short of perfect lighting

This has actually happened to my sister more than once, although not quite as strangely. She’d be standing or sitting around in public with her kids and sometimes a mother, a perfect stranger, would ask her to watch their kids(s), but it was very briefly because a mother wanted to go to the women’s room in peace at a mall or get an ice cream at a park concession stand. It wasn’t to go get drunk in a bar over the course of four hours.
It’s an awkward situation when you’re a dad with a young daughter or a mom with a young son and you need to go to the bathroom. Fortunately I never had to go badly enough when my daughter was little to really deal with the dilemma – do you bring them in or leave them out? Even if the kid doesn’t care if they’re in, will a girl freak out any guys at a urinal?
Fortunately these days a lot more places have “family” bathrooms with a changing table, single stall with a door, and a lock on the main door. You can bring in your kid who’s potty training and not have to worry.
A long time ago I went to a men’s room…I think it might have been a NJ Turnpike rest stop, actually. A friend was with me and as we were air-drying our hands I said, “What do you think that pull-down table is?” “It’d make a handy bar, and NJ has pretty lax–”
Some stranger elbowed us aside and said, “It’s a changing table.” We still didn’t really understand what that meant.
welp we are now officially disqualified from eurovision

seems matey threatened a female member of staff….i dont know what was said so i dont know if that makes a dq harsh or not
but its probably safe to say he should have kept his temper in check
guess ill go watch dutch twitter explode about the unfairness of it all and probably do a whole bunch of victim blaming and whatever else the pieces of work on twatter get up to
welp….im going to need popcorn
normally drama free eurovision is turning into a bit of a shitshow
countries lodging complaints about israels delegation, the french decided to stop their repetition to make a political statement,theres a petition going to get the dutch guy back in the competition, norways points giving person stepped away from the position coz free palestine
its a glorious mess and it hasnt even started yet
I fell asleep on the couch only to be awaken by the family screaming you could see it! I walked out on the deck and it was pretty cool. I started w/ cell phone pics but eventually grabbed my real camera but no tripod so had to rest it on a table we have on the deck.
It may happen again tonight so I may just leave the camera on the deck on time lapse.
…of course you got pics
…never doubted you for minute
Was that a long exposure? I’m guessing those white streaks in the second are airplanes?
Yeah, long exposure & aircraft.
What a view! Beautiful pictures as always. I had to look up and not outwards to see them. So they were not as impressive from my vantage point.
Hey, is nobody else gonna mention that this DOT is from a year (and a half) into the future. . . ?
i didnt notice till you said…..
I posted a NOT from 2034 a few weeks back and was like eh it’s fine when I noticed my typo the next day.
This doesn’t seem like a very smart idea, especially when the guy you are fucking w/ is the current AG & NEVER loses criminal cases?
