And... Even more proof that the Bay Area is beyond stupid.
EDIT: But it is warm enough to run about nekkid, apparently...

Like a musketeer, but wields a beard instead of a musket.
Hallao.
According to this I'm somewhere between the Corporate Beard and the Ducktail.
I blame the long winter (and my extreme laziness) for my hip choice of facial hair.

And I just realized that condemned home sold for more than your house was assessed for.
The reality is that around here, land means everything; what's on the land at the moment is meaningless. So the people saw a HUUUUUUGE lot and grabbed it. It was a smart purchase.
As an example, in Albany there are 3 lot sizes: 2500 square feet, 3750, and 5000 sq. ft. Since Albany has a statute that your home's footprint may be no more than 40% of the square footage of your lot, if you want to build your 'dream home' you really want one of those 5000 sq. ft. lots.
So an abandoned outhouse on a 5000 sq. ft. lot would be worth more than my intact home on its 3750 sq. ft. lot.
And that lot in Fremont was 9400 sq. ft. So it was HUGE for the area, which explains its price.

I can get a 1,009,000+ sq. ft. plot for ~330k around here. Ah - And I found it.

It's that time of year where I freak the kids out again.
For Gatsby, last year I made a little set of yellow glasses with eyes for Dr. T. J. Eckleburg and hung them up over the TV without a word. It took a few days for the kids to notice them, but once they did, oh lordy. And since we're reading said book now, well...

I'm not sure whether I've got a full beard or a Garibaldi, but probably the former.
The classic musketeer beard is the Imperial - is a darn sight more dignified sounding than 'handlebar and chin puff' (as the style is captioned on that chart), which sounds like an exotic and uncomfortable sexual activity.

Land is worthless in the Midwest, what's really valuable are pickup trucks, the bigger the better.
Is this how Mortal Engines began?

Speaking of land, and politics, and flaming bikes...
...I called my favorite auto detailing place to get the Prius cleaned out to actually carry students without having them recoil in disgust and horror. Chatted with the desk girl a few minutes, and then she gave me an urgent call back: The owner died last year, and within 5 days they'd been evicted from their long-standing business on the Eastshore Freeway and had to move in with a body shop in deepest, darkest Richmond just to survive.
I hate landlords...

You'd be fine, but it wouldn't protect you from killer sharkodiles that mutated from that thing. I watched Rampage yesterday, I think it's a good movie. I loved those mutated creatures, because I once played a game where you can mix and match creatures.
Now if you excuse me... Let's see what special stuff I should mix onto my DNA...
I wanted angel wings, but VC said I don't deserve them...bat it is then...regeneration yes... Do I need lizard s*ckers for wall climbing? Nah... Chameleon so I can blend into surroundings...

What are lizard s*ckers?
I think Kitty was wondering about these.
Then again she's already equipped with claws ^^

They're the suction cup-like pads on the toes of some lizards that allow them to climb walls. This provides more info.

So, Just a Mort, where are you in Strange Aeons?
The utter lack of motivation for the PCs is killing me.

You know how if you hold a sea shell up to your ear you can hear the ocean? It turns out that if you hold a strangers leg up to your ear, you can hear them say "What the f+&# are you doing?"
You might also get kicked in the process and yelled at. Like, "What are you doing, you creepy pervert!"

Probably not the first nor the last time Grans been hit with one of those is my guess.
