I had the exact same thing happen two weeks ago at the 12th and Vine stop in Seattle. I ran for a convenience store instead and missed the bus by one minute, then stood there wet and annoyed for 25 minutes while the rain just kept coming down hard lol. Honestly, going for the coffee shop was the smarter move, being soggy and miserable on a later bus is way better than being dry and stuck waiting for ages.

Hmm, I actually see it a little differently. Even if the shop was dead, a casual seller should still reply to someone already committed to buying, just a quick "hey sorry I'm not active right now." But I guess it's also possible they just ghosted because they didn't want to deal with the hassle, which happens more often than people admit.

Blame it on the timing and your soil. You probably seeded too late or early for your zone, and that bare dirt you cleared was just begging for crabgrass and thistles because they love disturbed ground. Native plugs need at least a full season to settle in and compete, so year one is basically a weed party while the real plants are still underground doing root stuff. Next time just scalp your lawn short in fall, scatter seed, and walk away. Let the grass act as a nurse crop instead of nuking everything.

Dude you're not wrong, but my math skills are so bad I'd probably try to measure jet emissions in "cow farts per mile" and confuse everyone even more. Private jets really do punch that CO2 straight up high where it sticks around way longer, while cow farts at least break down faster. Totally different league of damage, even if my dumb brain can't do the conversion right. Context is everything, and my brain is the worst context manager out here.

lmao the muffin tin thing is genius. I actually stole that but now I use an old ice cube tray for safety pins and spare buttons in my sewing drawer. The trick is you gotta set a reminder on your phone to go through it or else you end up with a collection of mystery keys and dead batteries like I did for two years straight lol.
