Thanks for calling me out. Burbs :(

I meant Atlanta but there isn’t so much Atlanta to the Braves. I am owned. Mea culpa.

E: man I’m old enough that this is Hank Aaron’s team and belongs to Atlanta proper. Ugh.

I'm just being pedantic for the sake of pedantic. I know it's still a big deal to Atlanta.

Again, I'm only barely competent. My bread and butter has always been as a singer, although being sick as hell for the past few years did a real number on my voice. I don't sound like late-era Leonard Cohen, who sounded like he had lived in a swimming pool of cigarettes and vodka for 20 years, but there's definitely some gravel in my voice.

This will be the first time I've performed since my old band reunited and played a friend's wedding reception in April 2019.

Pretty sure the reason I know of cane toads is the clip of the guy doing a news interview about how much he hates them, then there is footage of him driving down the road swerving to hit every one he sees.

Yeah that's them. While there isn't a kill onsite rule we used to literally hunt them as kids, we had a bayonet on a broom handle that dad kept in his shed and we'd spot them with a torch, spear them and then chuck them in a hole and bury them. People intentionally run them over on the road - like its not unusual this time of year when they're really active to see flattened ones in the road driving around. There's even a company in aus that produces an air rifle designed specifically for shooting toads. So it's kind of ingrained in me - see a toad - kill the toad.

IIRC they were introduced in the 50s to kill cane beetles that were killing all the sugar cane. They spawn thousands of eggs at a time and they have no natural predators - their tadpoles and bodies are poisonous and they're opportunistic feeders - they eat a lot of native frogs and bugs. Add to that they live 10-15 years unmolested, can survive almost anywhere and never stop eating or breeding they've been almost impossible to eradicate.

It's the same in Kauai. Wild chickens, feral cats, and cane toads are the big ones.

I remember walking down this long dirt road leading to the west side of the Na Pali coast, fuckers were EVERYWHERE. Not only live toads but literally hundreds of flattened toad corpses even though it was not a frequently used road. I couldn't even believe that that many toads could live in one place without wiping out their food source within a week or two.

Coincidentally, this Tuesday I am going to Hawaii. Oahu this time, but it's being fully paid for by my work so I am pretty stoked. Been too long since I had a proper vacation.

Bad part is that I'm never truly away from my job, I will still being answering emails and fielding phone calls and dealing with emergencies because my life is poo poo and my job loving sucks.

Hey Greinke got a hit.

Could be the last (forced) pitcher hit in baseball history if/when they push through the universal DH stuff--and if no one else gets one of course. Cool that Zack got it if it works out that way, he loves hitting way more than he loves pitching.

I assume you can still voluntarily give up the DH if Shohei is pitching so probably not the last pitcher hit ever, but perhaps the last in this era I guess.

I went to my cousin's wedding in Chicago tonight, first big event since the pandemic. Basically no mask wearing in either the rehearsal dinner nor the wedding, so really hoping I didn't catch Covid. Otherwise, great night, except I kept letting my cousins rope me into rounds of tequila shots.

So now I'm just lying in bed at the hotel watching anime, hoping I'll sober up enough to fall asleep.

Today I cleaned out the gutters, and did a little woodworking, and then we put up halloween decorations and carved pumpkins, and then I finished Disco Elysium. Annoyed that I failed like three 75%+ red checks in a row near the end of the game at points where I couldn't save first. I don't know if I really want to replay this game, but there's so many things I didn't finish because I didn't realize I was nearly at the end of the game. God it's such a good game, though.

Tomorrow I'm gonna watch football all day and make soup and give like ten million calories of refined sugar out to a bunch of kids.

Put together some goodie bags and are setting up a table on the front lawn. We have a Costco bag of fun size chocolate bars as a backup. 100 Grand are so elite.

We're expecting to get swarmed. Halloween is a big deal on this street. A guy up the street is in construction and spends all of October building an incredibly elaborate scary yard, complete with water feature and giant spider. They give out full size bars, so all the neighborhood kids come here. Should be great.

I forgot to get candy, so ran out and bought some yesterday, but there was literally no halloween candy left, so I'm handing out christmas themed kit kats, twix and peppermint patties.

Just picked up that same pack yesterday. We've gone through three or four assortment bags of little candy since they've been stocking them for Halloween for over a month now.

Turns out there is at least one candy my wife won't eat but I enjoy in every assortment pack. My drawer at work is Whoppers and Three Musketeers already with Almond Joy incoming.

Also we don't get trick or treaters, so those purchases was 100% for us from the beginning.

Absolutely nothing at all. Screw em.







(because we had Halloween last night for some reason in our area)

Seriously though, we ran out of candy three times. We drove around the area trick or treating with the family on a hayride and when we got back, our candy bowl that we left outside was almost empty. We had to ask the kids three times for any candy they didn't want. The early kids to our house got the good chocolate (Snickers/Reeses/M&Ms, etc). The late kids got Smarties, Dum Dums, and Tootsie Rolls. Thems the breaks.
