So, there's another gigantic wildfire near the mountain (4th one since mid-June).  By "near" I mean 5 miles away, with the prevailing winds for once being in a direction that won't incinerate the mountain.  There is also a monster storm rolling in from the Baja peninsula, so hopefully the fire will be out before it drives the coral snakes insane.

It's worth mentioning that it's easy to be dispassionate about this, as I am a further 60 miles North at this time.

Quotewon't incinerate the mountain

Not even trying, IMO.  Worst wildfire ever, ban it, get it out of here.

It's the "For once". As in, this is an event that occurs somewhat regularly.

What the fuck kind of mountains do you have over there?

Tall ones that have enough water to grow lots of vegetation, but not enough to keep the vegetation from turning into tinder for 9 months out of the year.  Then lightning.

I'd say at least you're safe-ish for 3 months of the year but it's probably an icy death trap during these 3 months.

Out of curiosity, I googled "Tucson mountain on fire". That's some remarkable shit. Keep the fuck away from that, eh?

It's more or less like dodging laser beams.

I feel like it's safe to say that there's nothing more strange/sadly pathetic than a gay Trump supporter.

Like, how? Black people I can sort of understand because black people are largely conservative in many ways, and misogyny runs deeeeeoh nevermind....

I figured it out.

Milo Yannanananananananailoupoplos of Breitbart infamy calls Trump "daddy".

Yes, it's every bit as awkward as it sounds.

This makes me feel very uncomfortable.

So I went to the Costume Designers Guild table yesterday before I left the con, and they saw my ribbon. One girl handed me a pack of patterns for free: McCalls "cosplay" patterns which are rehashes of their really terrible ren fair designs that I outgrew about 10 years ago.  :kingmeh: So, I handed them back with a "thanks, but no thanks," took a copy of their journal and some coupons for fabric, and left.

Then I saw John Barrowman pantsless, so things were fine, really.

Well, you can't blame the little people for not comprehending skills that are beyond their ken.

It was a nice gesture. They basically had a stack of shitty patterns they were trying to get rid of. Most likely donated by McCall's, so they were like, "Here, take a free thing." And I was like, "Nah, save this for someone who is just learning how to sew and could benefit from it." I wasn't a jerk about it, it's not like I didn't start using paper patterns. The coupons for fabric made up for it. :D

Now I have to plan for Pennsic, because I decided that I didn't want a summer, and I fly out next week.

It is so nice to see everyone keeping a calm, cool level head this election season. It's so God damned delightful to watch everyone carefully and tactfully avoid eating each other's faces. It's so fucking rad, why can't you see how rad it is, stupid?
