I wish there was a feature in Mastodon that told you your total number of bookmarks. When I delete them, I'd like to have that feeling of accomplishment, knowing I've knocked out this or that many
Counting Dogs And Broken Films
Athena apparently knows exactly how many treats she’s supposed to get, while my dad’s old home movies proved a little less cooperative. Between updating my genealogy site and repairing a broken 8mm film, it was a surprisingly busy quiet week.
