Considering you live in Texas, I'm not sure how much of that is exaggeration...Asterix. He only eats like Obelix in the evening. With an additional wild boar right before bed so he doesn't get hungry during the night.Asterix or Obelix size?How to make Teensy Valeros happy:
I just found a UK shop that had an Asterix and Obelix lunchbox for sale.LOL, we DO have a serious problem with packs of feral hogs, but although I've seen discussions about how to butcher and prepare them in a couple of online groups I follow, I wouldn't be up for trying it myself. Particularly since one recipe I read began with "Singe the hair of the boar off with a blowtorch..."
No skinning and entrails for this girl.
From what I have heard it is a serious problem. Some have said the meat is inedible.

Please don't eat me. It will cause me to die.

Those aren't robots they are just expensive and impractical grabby claws.
Edit: And it's not even a robot! It's just harnessing the power of biology! I hate deceptive articles like that!

No worries. There is no lawn of yours that I could trample.
Let's just hope I won't run into Impus Minor on the road...
Eh, after playing Metal Gear Solid 5 nothing will be the same...
Ok, I exaggerate a bit, but still, I played Watch Dogs 2 for half an hour, finishing two short main missions and the stealth, stealth detection, NPC intelligence, and gun handling are inferior.
Woooow... so much for credit unions being more reliable than banks with your personal information.
I'm with "A" credit union. I just got a letter from "B" credit union, whose "printing vendor" experienced a "network security incident".
And then the kicker: "The information involved may have included your name, address, account numbers, credit score, and Social Security number."
So, WTF is my credit union doing bandying my SSN about to other banks? Oh, that's right! Ancient IT guys who've never grown out of the 1970s still use SSNs as unique record identifiers instead of generating their own.
Morons.
On the other hand, it'll be interesting to see my corporate identity theft provider at work: We're locked down at all three credit reporting agencies (no credit reports, no new accounts may be opened) and one of my corporate benefits is identity theft protection, so at least no new accounts will get opened in my name.
But name, address, account number, and SSN? That should be enough for someone to drain my bank account with little to no difficulty.
Waiting to see what happens.
EDIT: OK, looks like my credit union might be slightly off the hook. I looked up credit union "B" and it's associated with the company my brother works for. And he gave me a check at about the right time. So, I deposited his check, his credit union processed the information, and they bungled it. My credit union had to give them the information for the transfer... except again WTF is up with using SSN as an ID for anything any more?

Impus Major took his turn doing HelloFresh, with pork chops with a mango salsa over rice. The only assistance I gave him was to zest a couple of limes because they were ornery; otherwise I wasn't even in the kitchen. He didn't bother using timers; he cooked both the rice and the pork chops until he thought they were "done".
And he did an amazing job; both the rice and the pork chops were done perfectly. The whole thing took him under 90 minutes, and he's a completely novice cook. Another point for HelloFresh.

Do you even have a big enough one to qualify as a lawn? I've been through the bay area.

Not really, but it has a zombie flamingo, so there's that.
But he gets bonus points for NOT having a front yard covered in cheap-a** painted landscaping rocks from Home Depot instead of anything living, like too many people in the East Bay.

This morning I dropped Hermione off at the church for her first youth group service trip. She's going to Arizona until the 7th. Tomorrow, I'm dropping WW at the airport to go to Derry, Ireland until the 7th. So for the next week, it's just going to be Val and me.

LOLOL. We bought this house in 2002 from a "stereotypical landlord": The fixtures were the cheapest available at the time, no upkeep had been done, and, most importantly, they'd done the whole, "Put black plastic over the entire front yard and then cover it with dirt."
They might as well have salted the earth. It's 20 years later and our front yard is still a barren patch of dirt, with occasional moss growing if it's rainy for a week or two in a row.
Zombie flamingos? Check. Frog skeletons? Check. Abstract steel art? Check. Anything remotely alive? Barely.
And for those who wonder what a "front yard" in the Bay Area is like, it's 14' by 20' (4.25m x 6m), which most 'Merikuns would consider too small to even be a driveway.

For scale, a VW Golf...one of the best selling cars throughout the world...is 14.5' long.

Thankyou - I shall do so. Her pals from East Yorks. came over, and we had a lot of Tibetan food, then went on the aforementioned boat ride, which also provided us with a fruity scone and jam and cream, and a pot of tea. We also finally got the little lad to have a (long overdue) bath.
