Dear Jane,

I do not have any money so I am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at $233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

I feel like we don’t talk about millennials in particular, hitting our 40s - in earlier generations many of us would be reaching the peak of our careers, but because of disaster after disaster, locust after locust eating our industries, many of us are on our 3rd or 4th fresh start.

"becoming an epidemic, like divorce in the '70s" oh, you mean when the advent of no-fault divorce and women finally being able to get bank accounts and credit cards in their own names meant they could actually leave their abusive husbands? That "divorce epidemic"?

🎃 Four days late (okay technically 5 now) but working like mad to *finally* finish this 2 year long intermittent project. Still have to embroider the last 4 date squares, figure out some construction details for the pockets (& a border? maybe later?) THEN I can fill the Samhain advent with candy! 🎃

The actual winner-winner chicken dinner after cider & wine chores: chicken wings w/ a Caribbean dry rub & BBQ sauce, roasted brussels sprouts w/ pomegranate molasses & garlic, & roasted garlic mac & cheese (Annies + roasted garlic, parm, mozz, Old Bay & seasoned salt). With hard cider from '22. 🍽️🍜🍷🍗

A top-down view of a place setting, with a brown plate in the center on a striped placemat in fall colors. the plate has bbq wings, dark roasted brussels sprouts, and a large serving of mac & cheese. There's an empty bone bowl off to the side, a small dark chocolate above the plate for dessert, and a wine glass of light colored hard cider to the right of the plate above the knife and spoon (which are fancy vintage silver I got at a garage sale for $5... budget everyday luxe FTW).

Probably the prettiest apple we had at the tasting is Blue Pearmain. They look like watercolor paintings in person. Tasty too--a bit like King, but denser and better keepers.

One apple I didn't get for the tastings (didn't get out to the right orchard in time) that's also wonderful is Esopus Spitzenburg. Before we identified it we called these "everlasting" since they keep really well. Nice flavor fresh, good keeper, probably great as cider too.

A long striped yellow apple held up in front of cut apples. It is wider at the stem end, has many red striped and speckles and one patch of brown scab. The stem is greenish brown, fleshy, and thicker at the top.

Hoping it will just sort itself out as I start racking stuff along. I know I have a couple 3 gallon & one 5 gallon buckets free for primary, but it gets dicier if I do a secondary on lees... IDK? I guess we'll see? tonight is just KOH & waiting, but I want to do that in the primary, not the jugs.

Need to overcome decision paralysis about how to divide this (I am going to add two frozen packs of blackberry pulp to one of the batches, prob with the 71B, since that will be the most acidic batch). I'll do just a gallon or so of the Cote de Blanc, which is interesting but takes forever to clear?

Needed snacks before doing fermenting "chores" (fun, even if it's mostly cleaning stuff... so much cleaning stuff). Need to rack & shuffle some wine kits, bottle some of last years 1 gal batch fruit wines, & free up primary containers for all of this cider! Gonna split it with different yeasts. 🍷🍎

two boxes with 8 gallon jugs of local(ish) fresh Michigan apple cider without preservatives (thanks, Costco). A hand is holding out three packets of yeast fanned out like a deck of cards- Lalvin 71B & D47, and Red Star Cote des Blancs.

Oh, I’d put it in the same type of brain damage wealth causes. Humans need to be argued with, we need to have our bad ideas challenged, and when wealth makes that go away, it makes us worse humans. The bots literally not only do not challenge, they praise and promote any kind of nonsense.

This is huge: a judge ruled a Flock search was 'indiscriminate mass surveillance' and unconstitutional. Says the search by a cop, who did it because a passing car had a plate from a different state, violated the driver's rights. Meaning, Flock should require a warrant www.404media.co/federal-judg...
