I love her, but maaaaan, I've been trying to slog through Ship Of Destiny for MONTHS and like, I just wanna be DONE with the ships and these characters and get back to Fitz and that side of the world. I know, I know, it all ties together, but I don't care, I'm so done with the pirate stuff.

Bizzy Bone from Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony. Dude was a serious alcoholic. Saw his show back in like 2012 or 13, I forget the exact date, and he was completely shitfaced. He carried a handle of vodka and a bucket up onto the stage with him and alternated between drinking straight out of the bottle and then coughing/spitting/possibly puking into the bucket between songs. People in the crowd were like wtf man. It was disgusting. He had a fucked up childhood, so I'm not surprised he hit the bottle hard, but damn.

On the topic of China's secret police, what are your thoughts on the Chinese government attempting to repatriate Chinese Americans and Europeans through covert operations, such as Operation Fox Hunt? I remember hearing about operations like this a few years ago, and it always seemed really freaky to me.

 

Boy, did this take forever!

2 California Wonder Bell Peppers

10 Giuseppe Mild Green Chiles

7 Big Jim Green Chiles

There's many more Bell peppers still on the plants, but I'm hoping they start turning red before the weather forces me to pick them.

Edit: Apparently the tape measure is weird? I dunno, it looks like a normal tape measure to me? I think it might seem weird because it's upside down? Here's the same pic rotated:

 

I'm gonna have more than I know what to do with, and that's even after losing a dozen or so to end rot.
