> [@JaneDoe42](#): > > Have you seen Bella/Jolene yet? 💯 GG has the look that he managed to catch her. She’s got that other look. That look that she’s the one who did all the planning and made him think that he caught her. She’s definitely the brains. > [@JaneDoe42](#): > > She’s stolen both my men and I’m the one who wanted to bring her home! She’s letting you think that. > [@dogbutler](#): > > It’s 17 Centipedes right now in N.C. That’s today’s high. Yesterday was 33 Centipedes. Weather’s weird. > [@Chefguy](#): > > The only ones I’ve read more than once have been The Milagro Beanfield War and The White Nile. The first is laugh out loud funny and the second is one of the best exploration books ever written. I have forwarded these to my dad as recommendations, as they sound like something he’ll enjoy. > [@Misnomer](#): > > I’m mostly a contemporary fiction person, and if I had to name a favorite genre it would probably be legal/police thrillers: my favorite author was P.D. James, and I’m currently 18 books into the Chief Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penny (#19 comes out in two months!). We’re going on a cruise next month which goes through Quebec. There’s a Facebook group and someone was asking about Louise Penny tours. Somehow I thought she might be an actor and didn’t realize that she’s an author. So I just bought the first Inspector Gamache book on Kindle to read when I get time - which might be on the flight to the US. Yesterday was too warm to think, but we managed to get a lot of things done, including figuring out which excursions we want to do. I need to update the plan. With all previous trips my mom makes the arrangements and my dad puts it all in a plan. So far I haven’t seen one from them, so I created one for the cruise. I need to add laundry details as well. There’s a app for the cruise, and they do pretty well with technology, but paper is still quite handy, also for me, especially I’ll be doing the wrangling on ship. One benefit of it being cooler - it’s much more comfortable to do ironing. So I should go take advantage of the cooler weather.
