Neagley - what a satisfying ending. Not only did they become a team, we got treated to the slow motion walk with them all fanned out in a row. A well-deserved classic moment.

In honor of Nic Cage’s Ai stance, I watched a movie of his I’d never heard of, The Humanity Bureau. Now I know why I never heard of it. But I think they meant well.

I read somewhere that while the first hand cuff is easy to put on, the second one can be difficult. That’s why you only see them putting on the first side. So now every time I see this on a tv show, that’s what I think of.

The half vinegar/half water boiling 5 minutes, let sit for 15, then clean with soft sponge really works to get rust off the inner surface of your favorite Le Creuset or similar tea kettle! This is a vintage yellow they don’t sell anymore with the Bakelite lid knob.

I believe I can replace the ink pad overflow sponges on my inkjet printer by myself. So far, the hardest part has been removing the old container sticky with old ink. Luckily, no overflow. Printers should and could really be designed for easier maintenance. Yes, wear those rubbery sponges.

Epson printer with ink pad container removed. Phillips screwdriver to unfasten container, putty knife to loosen dried up ink, towel under printer in case of spills, small green flashlight just because.

One of the especially sweet & refreshing things about Bluesky is the effort many posters make to bring us morning photos - of lakes, misty meadows, rivers, sunrises, forest paths, & more. A big thank you to all. 💕 (Especially since the sun has yet to rise here on the West Coast.)

I like seeing happiness. Mariska Hargitay sure seemed happy throughout the whole Emmy opener. (I love tv screens, too. 😇) I hope she gets to do more comedy. Her timing in the monologue was great.

While not my primary intent in using the word “inspiring,” I was overcome (inspired, right?) by your words so much so that I just ordered three of your books. (You are devilishly clever.) 🤣 And BTW, the arrangement between you and Blackwell’s is a beautiful thing: efficient, easy, trustworthy.

I can almost taste them. I love peaches. I especially love that you include libation & music to accompany the cooking process. I have a few cookbooks which included CDs from a local gift shop. (I just checked & apparently they’re still sold. I didn’t expect that as I bought mine @ 20 yrs ago.)
