So Tropical Storm Elsa has become Hurricane Elsa. My family in Jamaica is on TS warning, and we here in Florida are thinking it may reach us by Tuesday. In an unfortunate coincidence, my wife and I are flying out of FL today but planning to fly back on the eve of that storm Monday night, hope my flight doesn't get canceled! 🤷‍♂️

Yeah. The crews working that condo collapse are worried about that storm. The remaining part of that building is pretty unstable.

I woke up this morning with another two mosquito bites.

I know how they get into the house. Every time I open a door for any reason, they can get in. But, how do they get under my covers to bite my legs?

Have you ever seen those electric fly swatter things? they are amazingly good fun when hunting mosquitoes. Won't fix the existing bug bites, but its so cathartic to zap them into oblivion when you get the shot at revenge :D

Meanwhile my Sims family is thriving. My Sims character has 2Milion in the bank, a huge house with a massive garden, is mother to a baby that rarely cries, and has never worked a day in her life. Any similarity with real life is just a wild fantasy.

There is a lot of tempting water - fountain, paddling pool as well as the main pool Oh, and isn't that the ocean or a lake at the end of the garden?

I just learned this via Wiki:

Game designer Will Wright was inspired to create a "virtual doll house" after losing his home during the Oakland firestorm of 1991 and subsequently rebuilding his life.[2][3] Replacing his home and his other possessions made him think about adapting that life experience into a game. When Wright initially took his ideas to the Maxis board of directors, they were skeptical and gave little support or financing for the game. The directors at Electronic Arts, which bought Maxis in 1997, were more receptive—SimCity had been a great success for them, and they foresaw the possibility of building a strong Sim franchise.[2]

Wright has stated that The Sims was actually meant as a satire of U.S. consumer culture.[4] Wright took ideas from the 1977 architecture and urban design book A Pattern Language, American psychologist Abraham Maslow's 1943 paper A Theory of Human Motivation and his hierarchy of needs, and Charles Hampden-Turner's Maps of the Mind to develop a model for the game's artificial intelligence.[2]

We have them here, mines got broken, kids thought it was a squash racket. One days hunting I got about 30 flies. Flies do my head in.
