1/4 cup water
1/4 cup chickpea flour (more if from Indian grocer, as that seems to be sifted more than Bob's)
1/2 teaspoon yeast
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon salt or 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
(Optional: 1 tablespoon almond flour)

Mix in a jar until well-mixed. Close jar and set aside until yeast has done its thing and it's quite bubbly (20 minutes or so on the counter in hot weather; several hours in fridge).

When ready to cook, remove lid and microwave 1 minute.

Empty jar into pan with a little oil and cook for a minute or so, crumbling the chickpea cake and mixing into other stuff.

Mom died 12 years ago today.

I forgot to look up her yard site. I probably missed it. My day is already fairly committed. I'm committed to being in a frog suit at the black cat call time 6:45
I doubt I'll be able to dial into a minion at a time that works.

Then again, I guess I probably could dial into Friday evening services tomorrow.

Nadine of Amphipha fame teaching art as protest three today flare, which is just North of National Gallery East wing.

Tomorrow, there will be a frog announcement of an upcoming press conference in which there will be an amicus brief submitted relating to frogs and ecology and the duck pond actually not duck pond reflecting pool.

At 10:00 not 1:00 meeting I can get out to far Virginia easier on Friday as well as it will hopefully be slightly less hot especially in essentially a mobile tent in the Sun

Last night after a late dinner we four adults we're still talking in the hotel lobby and the child was half asleep on the couch. A lady came up to us asking for hugs. Interestingly, one of the guys had noticed her because of the Mickey mouse t-shirt; I had noticed she had barbell piercings under the Mickey mouse t-shirt. But we each gave her hugs and I asked are you okay what's going on she said she didn't want to start crying but she said we lifted her heart and she left.

I just want to mark that
1) Don Stallone's Memorial yesterday was really amazing. And hopefully I will have time to write more about that later.

2) I am mostly out of the boot but I did not go to Acro today because many reasons.

3) I am still losing to a mouse but I found another placement. Have before that I dealt with. Across the street neighbor had initially offered to bring cats over, but then apparently not. There's still in the middle of moving to Laurel at some point. And I'm sad not to have an across the street neighbor I'm friends with at that point.

3) I'm going mildly crazy trying to figure out how I'm working the end of the week. I had originally had plans in for Virginia, a friend's farm and another friend's Farm actually, but now I'm looking at maybe trying to get back to see the fiasco of fireworks given that they are even closing off a good deal of the river for more barges. But I doubt I can actually get home at that point even though they're not starting the fireworks until at least 10:30.

4) I've been doing a lot of emergency apartment reorganization what with maintenance coming in tomorrow, and I managed to leave my dome light on Tuesday when I parked on the street so a friend could use my spot on Wednesday and I still haven't gotten the car going again. Because.

5) which did mean I was on a bike to try and look at the flyover at 6:30 on Thursday in time to see the Royal Air Force (10 of them) go directly over my head right outside Audi field where I was about to get back on the bike to try and get closer to nats Park and then turn on their smoke and then swirl around and I guess that's when they went over to nats Park to do their real flyover from behind the school board. Which means I had an unique perspective of them filling my vision... And I had not been clever enough to already have the camera open on the phone and failed to get it out in time. Incredibly pissed about this aside from everything else about how I detest this phone so much I need to do something about it

6) the watch and the phone keep losing connection to each other which is incredibly inconvenient, but I don't know if it's the watch or the phone or both so I'm sort of thinking of just getting like a $40 smartwatch which I did not know existed but then what do I do with the sort of working otherwise

7) Nadine is amazing. Otherwise known as Amphifa. Washington Post had a profile on team algae who have been hanging out at the reflecting pond, pool for a while. There was a memorial mass today morning the now absent algae.

There's all sorts of shows that the black cat starting tonight and going through all week. Today was go-go. There's a WrestleMania on Thursday that'll probably involve one belt that involves frogs and the reflecting pool. And there's a whole lot of Civic engagement and lobbying and training and everything else all week during 7 Days in dc. Here's the schedule link: 7DaysInDC.com

Folks may have noticed that the site has been slow for logged-out users over the last while. This is partly because we separate traffic by logged-in, "logged out but have visited the site before", and "logged out, never visited the site before" and assign the fewest resources to the last category (because we're pretty confident the overwhelming majority of it is bot and scraper traffic, even if it's often impossible to say for sure). The flood of garbage traffic is a plague and a scourge the entire internet is dealing with, and it's hitting small sites the hardest as operators get better and better at cloaking their requests to look like real, authentic use. We long ago hit the point where adding more resources is a possible solution (because they just eat them up as soon as we do), and splitting traffic lets us keep the site usable for our actual users without wasting too much server power on garbage.

We've now, lucky us, reached the point where the "logged out, have never visited the site before" path is just flooded all the time, and the "logged out but have visited the site before" path is suffering some of the overflow. We've made some changes to the routing to try to improve things for logged out users who have visited the site before and keep it at "it may be a little bit slow, but at least it works" instead of "it keeps timing out", and we've seen some improvements, but if you're accustomed to browsing the site while logged out, I'm really sorry but it may continue to be a little miserable.

You will get the fastest page loads and the best performance by browsing the site logged in. If you are having trouble loading the front page to log in, bookmark the direct login page. We can't route the front page to the "more power" server pool, because it's a common target for garbage traffic, but we've switched /login over to "more power" and we'll try to keep it there as long as we can unless it starts getting slammed, too.
