Caitlyn also has a mandala tattoo on her other arm that she said didn’t hurt at all. I didn’t ask. Caitlin doesn't eat corn because it's in everything. Her logic. One of the others, whose necklace says "l✡ve" says she wants a tattoo but doesn't want to if that means her mom will disown her.

Karen's hits are hard.

We're giving turtle eggs to the raccoons.

Emma strongly recommends Tatte which is all over Boston and will soon show up in DC, which is a blend of Israeli and North African and is somewhat pricey but definitely worth it. I have some Israeli cookbooks sitting around collecting dust. I also have a book on Thai food which isn’t so much a cookbook as it is a historical curiosity and catalogue of traditional cooking methods that the writer wanted to preserve. And I’m pretty sure it’s all Thai Thai, not Isan Thai or Sino-Thai or Malay or Laotian. This one looks a lot easier.
Emma spent much of her life in South Carolina and Florida so her favorite pizza place is Little Caesar and there really isn't much choice because there are very few Italians and Greeks. That’s just sad, says everyone else.

Emma says Thailand is scary.
Thailand isn't the worst. Turkmenistan and North Korea are the worst and Uzbekistan is close in tin pottery and Syria is fascist and Sri Lanka is mostly just racist and China wants to be the dystopia in a cyberpunk novel and Russia is horrible but Asian Russia is irrelvant and Malaysia is too pushy about Asian values, and Thailand is gradually dismantling its democracy.

Emma wants a good president again.
I don’t want a return to normalcy.

I guessed that her friend was in Kenya or Tanzania given the presence of elephants and grasslands. For all I know, it could be Botswana or Mozambique. I don’t think its South Sudan or the Central African Republic. It’s waaaaay cheaper to fly to Nairobi or Dar es Salaam than it is to fly to Juba. I can’t find plane tickets to Damascus. Even Tehran isn’t giving me results. I remember Bangui being super-expensive. It’s still expensive. It just so happens that it’s 2000 dollarydoos expensive and not 5000 dollarydoos expensive. The weird thing is Banjul is pretty damned expensive and I don’t know if it’s because someone thought it was Bangui. Last I checked, Gambia is a nascent democracy and not a war zone. For reasons I can guess are “you’re flying from Dakar” or “you’re strapping wings to your arms like Ikaros” I can find Banjul flights for under a hundred.
This wouldn’t work on Earth but you can fly across the Kraken Sea or from Maxwell Montes to Leah Crater provided you can survive the hellish climate. If you try this on the moon, you'd fall like a stone. Or a feather. Or a piece of paper. It's really all the same.

Ashley was eating peanut soup.

Grey's Anatomy is still on except most of the original cast has been killed off or whatever. I was unaware of that.

We got a few bunnies. We had a distemper outbreak amongst the raccoons. We had a tricolored bat that was a juvenile according to Haley that we transferred to a rehabilitation place that specializes in batkind. Then some people brought in another bat of some sorts. All of the snapping turtles have hearts and their numbers painted on their carapaces.
We have a baby goose and she was mixing some of the greens in with some pellets in order to pique his interest.

One of them was asking how we got the guinea pigs and Alex says we probably gassed the hell out them. With CO2. Or stunned them and thwacked them against the wall, says someone else.

Congrats. Two babies.
Some of that guinea pig flesh looked kinda green to me. But then again, I wouldn't eat a guinea pig if doing so gave me superpowers.

We got some boxes of Crispy Oats, which are a Cheerios knockoff with just enough differences in their font to avoid copyright infringement.

Caitlin said that Terry looks like he was dying and then she moved him and he's like "why the hell did you wake me up?"

We have a baby snapping turtle. They're cute until they grow up.

Emma was wielding one of those electric fly swatters because they really like to breed in Enrichment.
I think I told the story of my friend squirting a bug zapper with a water gun.

burning question: does anyone actually live in Delaware or is it just our version of the Cayman Islands?
I have a friend who went to the Cayman Islands once but I can't divulge information about her secret, illegal account.

Oh crap! I shouldn't have said she was a customer.
Oh crap! I shouldn't have said it was a secret.
Oh crap! I certainly shouldn't have said it was illegal!
