I have done that a handful of times in various places and I don't like doing it really. im still trying to figure out how to interact with someone who has 7-8 people on ignore, who then get skipped over themselves and have their playing interrupted. and then the next posters, likely inadvertently, reinforce the ignoring behavior by skipping them also.

As Simple As Snow - Gregory Galloway

HA!.. have you read As Simple As Snow?
I know it's YA fiction and meant mostly for teenage girls, I assume so anyways, but my youngest niece said that since I keep on recommending books for her to read, that turnabout was fair play and she wanted me to read ASAS... so I did, thinking it was going to be an awful slog. But damn it, I loved it! One of the best "coming of age" stories ever. A true mystery that has an open-ended conclusion, that the reader must figure out on their own.

I have an over-active mind that will not turn off unless I'm too exhausted to do anything else but sleep... perhaps due to my sleep apnia being bothersome (wearing a sleep apnia mask with forced air helps unless I'm congested)... and my poor wife's nightly torment with pain (knees/ankles/back/etc): the bitter fugue that permeates our tortured dreams. (note: fugue is only a sight-rhyme with segue)

"The Mind of the Book...": truly a scholarly endeavor.

Calvin and Hobbs is 1 of 3 comic strips I still read every day on the web (I used to read more but I managed to winnow my list down from at least twenty to just C&H, Dilbert, and the old Farside strips).

I like Calvin but don´t know anything about Hobbes.

No... some started just recently... https://www.fire.ca.gov/incidents/ and https://www.fire.ca.gov/daily-wildfire-report/ , and our "local" fire (more than 20 miles/32 km as the crow flies), the Fork Fire... https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/article/7165/57168/ is still going - but 70% contained; we only have three seasons here in California now: Winter, Spring, and Fire. Today has a good (now) to moderate (later) AQI to be outside, though one can see the haze begin in the tree not too far distant... https://www.eldoradoweather.com/current/aqi/aqi.php (we're between Placerville and Auburn on the maps)

Hopefully no. I do not want to move particularly; been here almost 30 years, but before that moved too many times: tired of moving... We were evac'd in the Kelsey Fire in August 1994 (arson). Historically there are fires every so often throughout the Gold Country. The desire to move is predicated on the irrational California property tax increases our state's leaders covet.
