I was on the final day of an overseas trip. I’d been there for several weeks, and my wife flew over and joined me for the last week to see the sights.

I’d eaten the hotel breakfast buffet almost every day of my stay with no issues. So, I grabbed my usual items, including some buffet line shakshuka (an eggs, feta, and tomato stew). It may have been sitting out a while…. Thankfully my wife opted for something else. Yum yum, check out, drop stuff off at my company’s HQ, off the airport, drop the rental, etc.

We were sitting in the airport inside the security check when it started - nausea, sweats, and bad cramps. Not the best look when in a foreign country with serious (and slow) airport security. Got through, beelined to the bathroom, and I thought I got it out from both ends. I boarded the plane feeling a bit better, but it ramped up again once we were onboard and continued for the entirety of the 13 hour flight home. I have seen immense torment inside the tiny bathroom of a 747 airliner, and I think I spent more time in there than my seat. When I did make it out, I sat shivering and sweaty in my seat for a few minutes before I had to go again.

I was thankful my wife was there to keep me hydrated and that the plane was empty enough that I could grab a seat row near the back for myself to lie down, instead of climbing over some poor bastard every time.

Surprisingly, I still like shakshuka.

He has a a free couch, he just needs help getting it out of the basement. Totally fine.

American here, what’s exciting in Swedish politics these days? I’d like some reprieve from the dumpster fire that is America for a minute.

Go ahead and explain open source to Sen. Bloodfeast. His response will most certainly contain the word “communism”.

“Uncle” Mike, always coming through with the half sticks and a “you didn’t get this from me”. 🤙

I also have a no Samsung policy, because of their refrigerators.

This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco, this ain’t no foolin’ around.

Definitely garlic mustard. Should be purple at the base of the stems, and the root will have a bit of a hook to it.

I spend a lot of time clearing this stuff in my wooded yard, as it’s highly invasive.

Sorry, it was late and I don’t often annotate photos on my phone. I’ll do better next time.
