    With some of the articles, the book itself is not present, but as long as there is a "source" link to click on, you will usually find the book linked elsewhere (like archive.com)...

    Fun fact, the books are cool because when you click on the page they turn... but you can also copy and paste text... which is great for quoting or translation.

     

    Example from Collin de Plancy's "Dictionnaire Infernal" from 1863 (a dictionary of demons and devils... like a more historically researched Dungeons and Dragon manual) translated from French using the DeepL translation site (great for translation of longer text, and it makes for better grammar than Google or Microsoft... also very good for translating newspaper articles in French or German).

    "Mirror: When Francis I was at war with Charles V, it is said that a magician told the Parisians what was happening in Milan by writing the news of this city on a mirror and exposing it to the moon, so that the Parisians could read in this star what was on the mirror. This secret is lost like so many others. See. Pythagoras. For the divination by the midnight, see. Cristallomancie. In Brittany, keeping yourself in a mirror at night is the way to become ugly or to be adorned with a wolf's face."

    Had to go to the emergency clinic because it was really hard to breathe this morning. Things started going downhill a couple of days ago, but I was hoping it would blow over. No suck luck. Anyway, I'm feeling better now (thanks to a few breathing treatments and an IV filled with I forget what). But the doctor says I have Bronchitis, so I will have to take it easy for a while. :(

    There's a nice neighborhood maybe half an hour away from where I live. It's quiet but next to good shopping and closer to the city. I asked my husband if we could maybe buy a house there one day. He told me that because of it's location, if Rainier erupted, it'd be all over for us, with no time to get out. In Florida we only had to deal with hurricanes, and those give lots of notice.

    Yeah, but now with Covid, there's almost no way to think about leaving Florida during a hurricane.  Even for Irma in 2017, it was difficult to find a place to stay.  All the coastal hotels were closed, forcing a move inland just for the hope of finding a place to sleep.  Luckily, I found a Holiday Inn that also had internet and a small home office inside the room.  But I had to drive to South Carolina to find that.

    But today with Covid, I fear that I might need to drive as far as Tennessee to find a place to sleep for a few days.

    makes corky's condo more precious,.  wonder if his in-laws moved in 

    You aren't kidding, that silly little house probably used like $30 worth of wood... granted it was all leftovers, but I didn't really bother to draw up the thing in CAD or make a cut list, I just grabbed some wood and banged it out not really caring to optimize each cut... now I'd be using reclaimed scrap wood instead of new plywood...

    Sorry Corky, but you did eat the cork off my friggin' Rosemary olive oil bottle and you still got a nice place to live... I feel like slightly weathered reclaimed wood, would have been just as good. 

    She damn well better appreciate that house... I don't want to go back there and find out she's renting it to a shrew or some good for nothing chipmunks.

    I heard she's turned it into a hippie commune for her shrew, chipmunk, possum, and armadillo friends.

    Tennessee? How horrible! (Born here, lived here my whole life here and will probably die here). Actually Tennessee is very nice most of the time.

    Complaint: a coffee stand near my house that sells giant redbull italian soda things is having a triple points promotion for the next few days, but I am in no shape to take advantage. Additionally, I haven't had a bubble tea in over a week. :(

    complaint, waiting for the neighbor buppy to come out.

    sleeping out on the lawn is no fun without a buppy stealing my beach blanket space.  he so funny, when i don't have the thing completely down he's already stepping on it.

    i'm going thru a lot of trouble just to see g8m belly dance.  i could prolly find a guy b-dancing on youtube.  but it isnt the same.  it isnt my fantasy guy.  i;se a dirty old lady.  shake your groove thing fella.  tee hee.  it doesnt even stimulate a hormone any more, it just makes me want to sips pina coladas and mai tais.  ooo yumma.  mai tai.  used to be fancy chineses restaurant by work with luscious mai tai.  either i was so lucky never got busted for drinking during work lunch, or they waz too polite to menation it.

    That explains the combination weed and patchouli oil smell the little rodent had.

    i surface replicated 5000 cows, is tanking my pewter.

    And yet beef prices still remain so high...

    My beef dinner tastes like chicken. The menu for today said beef stroganoff but my dinner also looks just like BBQ chicken.

    That can happen by accident if you cook a chicken next to your steaks.  Or if you buy b'chickens instead of chickens.  Read the lables!

    I think what happened is the menu suggested beef stroganoff but we had none. We had BBQ chicken which was used instead.

    I don't know what that is.

     "The Vulgar Tongue" just means "slang" or common people's rough talk.

     

    "My breakfast sausage'll kick your breakfast bacon halfway around the block!"

    Is that the kind of "common people's rough talk" we're talking about?

    Actually, Tennessee is one of the states that a lot of people are moving to from the populated cities that are quickly emptying out.

    Wal-Mart won't deliver cough syrup. I guess people are using it to make meth or something equally stupid.

    ..#1, motorists here rarely use turn indicators whne making turns (I have several theories on why), and #2.Ive seen more and more motorists who drive and or park on the wrong side of the street..

    ...years ago I was at a transit centre waiting for the a bus one morning when saw a security officer take a bottle of blue mint mouthwash away from a fellow who was drinking it for an alcohol  buzz.  

    Yeah, people are that desperate sometimes.

    I don't think I ever had "teenage angst", as a teen. But I think I maybe be going through it in my 30's... Is that even possible!?

    Man, I hate dForce... 

    Great! I'm now obsessed with Etsy. As if I didn't have enough to deal with already!

    I want to go to sleep. My phone feels dirty to me but I'll deal with it tomorrow. I wish I could ask someone to close my bedroom door but I have to get up and go through the door me thinks. Which means I can close it myself?

    When it cools down you will have drinking water? I have made a pot of coffee with my keurig but that time I forgot I already made a pot and didn't empty it yet. The pot over flowed with coffee. Well watered down coffee because it was the same k-kraft. (The kraft for keurig is opaque plastic not glass)

    Or the Soviet pilots drinking de-icing fluid... Then again it was Moscow's fault for making it in Piña colada flavor, but it's still pretty desperate.

    I'm watching a movie. When they showed a computer, I thought the computer looked old as it had a big fat monitor. I mean it was big and fat. I checked the year it was made and it was 2008. Were computer monitors giant and big and ugly?

    Lends a literal meaning to "flying blind".
