Street Legal

I just spent an hour and a half or so at the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. The dreaded RMV.

My drivers license expired on my birthday, two days ago. I needed to renew it (which could be done online) and I also needed to upgrade to the stupid fascist federal RealID card bullshit (which could not be done online). I had an appointment for 3:30 so I was able to get into the office, but the lines were long and I didn’t actually get into to do my business until around 4:30. Once I was at the window though it went off without a hitch.

When I got home, there was a visitor standing next to our driveway.

I Forgot About This

I took this picture after work yesterday. I meant to post it last night but I forgot.

What is it about this sink? She’s only started doing this over the last week or so. This is a new, adorable, cute as hell, behavior.

Unrelated topic, who the hell is this turkey?

The Turkey Smells Delicious

The turkey is about to come out of the oven. It smells delicious. The stuffing is about to go into the oven too and the potatoes are boiling and will eventually be mashed.

Thanksgiving is the best, even when it’s not actually celebrated on Thanksgiving. If we can just keep xmas at bay for a little while longer.

This cat has been hanging around all afternoon.

Obligatory South Park quotes:

  • “Something went wrong. And the turkeys broke free. And the worst part is .they’re really pissed off.” Dr. Alphonse Mephesto
  • “Wow, those are some pissed off turkeys!”

Sunday Morning

The backyard had a visitor this morning.

There were actually two turkeys. I think this one might have been showing off for the other.

Also, while we’re on the subject, miraculously the window mounted bird house survived the night. No tenants yet though.

Visitor

Please excuse the horribly dirty cellar window.

I had a visitor come to my window this morning. He took a peak inside but had walked a little way away before I could get the camera out. I called for him to come back, but he ignored me the way all of the animal kingdom ignores me.

That’s fine, jerk. See if I put more bird seed out, right? Oh who am I kidding. I am going to put out more bird seed. I’m such a push over.

Come back, you turkey!

Turkey? No. Traffic Jam? Yes

Well that was a kick in the scrotum.

No turkey for me. They closed down the gift distribution system at 2:00 without ever telling us whether the small turkeys had arrived or not. I take that to mean they did not. If they tell us to come in another day to pick up our turkeys I am going to blow it off. Any unclaimed gifts get donated to a shelter, so that works for me. I really love me some xmas turkey though. I’m a little ticked off. Hooray.

What was even better? I left the office at 2:00pm. Waze told me I would be home by 2:45. Well, 2:58 is what it ended up being. You see, I hit me a traffic jam on route 93 North. Yup, pre-3:00pm traffic jams. Oh yeah. The accident I was stuck behind wasn’t the cause of the traffic, it was a symptom of it. Hooray.

I tried blindly taking a picture for my photo a day thing as I was crossing the Merrimack River. All I got was the upper left corner of my passenger door frame. Oh well. Hooray.
