Don't you see the ships a-coming with the prizes at their tail?

Courtesy of my friendlist: "Ever Given container ship finally freed." As [personal profile] muccamukk observes, "Two hundred years later, we're all waiting around for the full (or new!) moon to fix our problems. Technology!"

My niece is feeling self-conscious about the glasses she has to wear for computer time, since thanks to remote learning computer time is now the majority of her days; they are not prescription but blue-light filters and she thinks they make her look ridiculous. They don't, of course, but more importantly I told her they were like welding goggles—eye protection—and she seems more reconciled to the idea. I wish she were old enough for me to show her the 2016 Ghostbusters. I feel Holtzmann would be encouraging.

I never remember any of my household lingo when asked for the purposes of meme, but in response to a question with no obvious answer, I just called reflexively, "Maybe she just snapped out!" Thanks, my grandparents and Shelley Berman.

Have just sent a photo of Child, who only wears them for school and otherwise retains 20/20 vision (Thanks, Donor!) -- not pictured, me with my eyeglasses on top of my head half the time anymore because I really need a bifocals appointment once I've collected all my antibodies.

We should find them a jolly new sport to venture together, like putting the shot, or axe throwing.

Edit: Nono nononono kiddie caber.

Hadn’t your mother wanted to remodel the roofline?
