Yup! I stepped outside (right after posting food pics, I think), looked at my phone, one second later it said 9:54. LOLDid you do it?
Got a couple pics of the moon, too... I'll deal with those later.

I think, in another life, I could've been a storm-chaser.... 
Perhaps, in an alternate universe, I already am!

I love weather. I could be a weather person. But not when it’s sunny and nice. That’s boring.I think, in another life, I could've been a storm-chaser....

So you’re right...maybe a storm chaser.

Hahaha, yesterday, when i was buying kale, shredded cabbage, pickled cabbage and sauerkraut, mom exclaimed: "Are you insane??? What the hell are you buying so much cabbage? - You will turn into a cow completely!"
Need to mention that in our language all the crucifers (of cabbage family) are called "kapusta" (cabbage) with different adjectives. E.g. brussel sprouts - "brjussel'skaya kapusta", cauliflower - "tsvetnaya kapusta", white/red cabbage - "bjelokochannaya/krasnokochannaya kapusta", savoy cabbage - "savoyskaya kapusta", kale - "kudrjavaya kapusta"(!), broccoli - "kapusta brokkoli". Even sauerkraut is called "kvashenaya kapusta" ("fermented cabbage").
...So, yeah, even with such a "diversity" i don't mind turning into a cow.

Throughout my life, I've seen many vegetables that had some issue - insect damage, rot, disease.
However, the only vegetable that I have never seen with such damage is cabbage.
This observation lead to the following thought - if insects won't touch cabbage, should humans?...

Yep, there are definitely cabbage worms! I questioned your premise and looked it up- you may want to tooThroughout my life, I've seen many vegetables that had some issue - insect damage, rot, disease.

Sounds like you don't like it anyway, so it shouldn't matter
Just found Amtrak prices are pretty good! Maybe take a train somewhere...

The fact that you had to look it up, means you've never seen one of these so called cabbage worms... Sounds suspicious to me...
This just means that a really effective pesticide is used in my area.

Cats are weird. This is my cats’ favorite toy. It’s the plastic thingy that holds the price tag onto store bought clothing, tied to a string.
