To clarify, it is under a deck. My kids guessed bear, porkupine, and racoon. But I'm guessing its an oppossom.

I was gonna guess oppossom. We’ve usually had plenty of them up here. But now that I think about it, I haven’t seen any lately. Maybe due to the rise in the coyote population?

My wife has been teaching in public schools for 22 years. My kid is in private school. Best money I spend. If we lived in one of 3 towns adjoining our city, we’d consider public schools. But no chance in my city.

Local public school is one of the worst in city. Rather than enroll in private, we put that money into buying and moving to a wealthier area with one of the best public schools in state. Feel very fortunate I can do so. Good school but with benefit of money put into an investment. Move in next week.
 
There is a rumor and urban legend that (especially) new observers at the telescopes at Mauna Kea in Hawaii should make an offering of cinnamon Pop Tarts to Pele and the mountain at the true summit of the mountain if they want good conditions for their stint at the scopes.

My friend who has had the good fortune to observe from there (twice) made the hike to the summit and saw the shrine there, but no Pop Tart offerings. He didn't participate in this exercise himself and both trips had crummy weather (including the telescope operator stating "read out your current exposure now and get ready to leave the mountain" as fog and snow was about to hit the summit).

I'm with the comments that Pop Tarts are only so-so at best (haven't had one in a year), but apparently they have a place appeasing whatever spirits may or may not approve of astronomers and telescopes on a very specific mountaintop.

I'm glad the weather gods on the mountain I'm on, or maybe just Mother Nature herself, just universally hate me and we have the uneasy understanding that's the status quo between us and there's nothing to do to change that. Otherwise, I'd need to buy stock in Pop Tarts to help back a buying habit.

I’ve never had a pop tart that I liked. They all taste like artificial flavors wrapped in cardboard. But Toaster Strudels on the other hand…

If you are old enough to remember Pop-Tarts back when the frosting and the filling went nearly to the edge of the pastry, they were really something. Today I find them to be a nostalgic disappointment.

I am also on team frosted chocolate fudge, but if those are gone, Cinnamon Brown Sugar is the back-up.
 
Facebook marketplace’s chip game near me. Hard bullshit.


Also, Trying to get a weekend game together without planning it 4 fucking months in advance with casual players….is bullshit.


ALSO also, days when “we” decide we have the time to sporadically go shop at target for 4.5 hours and read every English word in the store, but am then told tonight’s not a great night to go play cards, why dont I stay home and watch a movie instead?:rolleyes:


That’s some bullshit.

If I was a god and some sunovabitch tried to sacrifice Pop Tarts to me, I'd smite his heretical ass.

The brown sugar cinnamon ones mentioned are one of the better ones. I like a few of the other flavors with fruit filling. But you probably shouldn't take my word for it. I like frozen pizza, so I must like the taste of cardboard...

Don’t drag frozen pizzas into the same realm as pop tarts! Some of them are pretty good. Maybe I’ll have to try the brown sugar pop tarts
