    September 8, 2025

    This morning I pulled a baby dragon from the random object randomogrifier, a yellow Safari toy holding a pearl the size of a volleyball to him.

    This morning at 5:30am Texas time we pulled a rubber duck from the Random Object Randomogrifier. At first I thought it was a sneaky addition by my little girl, but random is random.
