OK wizards if you must enchant something with powerful magicks to ensure peace in the kingdom how about choosing a gigantic 10000 ton ugly rock under the castle or, actually, almost anything other than a small, portable, insanely valuable, gorgeous jewel? Don’t make me say eh, so dumb.

Fellow GenXers: remember how often we were bombarded with images of late-period USSR? Old, decrepit men in charge, clinging to an ossified ideology. Political repression, nakedly false propaganda, empty shelves, food shortages, inadequate health care, deep-seated cynicism, crumbling infrastructure

And here I am merrily thinking, well, I’ve lived in the PNW for a pretty long time now, surely no one could suspect my Carolina origins. . .

An image of a map of the USA with the southeast shaded in red like a contour map. The red bands turn first pale yellow and then blue as they diagonally move up towards the pnw. Text at the top reads: you talk most like someone from North Carolina: about 41% of your answers match a typical resident. There are 2 lists at the bottom: cities most and least similar. Most similar are Charlotte, Atlanta (this is a calumnious libel) and Washington DC (ok, fair, I lived in Baltimore for years.) Least similar are Seattle, Portland (ouch) and Salt Lake City.

In Portland for a couple days, using cc points to get a staggeringly cheap hotel rate. Walk into the lobby and holy shit, unbelievable belle époque marble everywhere. 2 story ceilings. Gigantic. And 2 free drinks in the lower lobby bar - there are, like, 3 bars. So where have we landed?

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

Peach, wild blackberry and ginger. 😁 if I was trying to do this as a side hustle i'd have to charge $26.66 a jar to make $20 an hour. And i'm not even including the cost of the peaches and ginger and sugar and pectin. Blackberries, fortunately, are free. People don't charge enough for jam. Yay jam!
