In the process of filling the prescription I was first told it would cost $60, then at the register it rang as $150, and then when they got it straightened out it was $3.55. And all of these seemed like plausible prices for a prescription, because we live in hell.

I was required to take one (1) Research Methods class in college 20+ years ago and let me tell you, way more people should be required to take that class
Survey question: “Do you see yourself being a part of Aquila’s offerings in the future? Why or why not?” Nothing in the survey leading up to this has given any hint of WTF that means

Did you know that wagons are GORILLA CARTS now and they're MANLY and there are demo videos with manly music so you don't feel like a dainty little girl with a Radio Flyer when you haul things with your manly gorilla cart

My last “first” of this dahlia season: Bloomquist Neat. This was a freebie that the breeder threw in with another order; I didn’t select it but it’s cute. Probably would have bloomed sooner if I hadn’t neglected it in a deck pot.
Bloomquist Neat is a white open-centered single dahlia; very like a kid’s drawing of a daisy

What’s Going on with this Ice Time: Encino Man porch movie edition. Actually the ice time seems to be represented appropriately here but the rink itself has issues. There is no glass wall behind one goal and they leave the door open so Link just walks on?

You can play Oregon Trail on the Visit Oregon website but it seems to be a super easy version; my son made it on his first try. Mom did drown, though.

The home architecture is so good and so livable that if you have a midcentury home (regardless of if it’s proper MCM) you start leaning into the esthetic. The homes are old enough to be vintage and cool but still in good supply.

As we approach dahlia tuber storage season there is much chatter in the groups from people who plan to buy wine fridges with schmancy humidity controls and such and I wish them well, but my truth is I store in the creepy beer fridge that came with our house and it works great
Your basic 80s fridge: freezer is top 1/3, fridge is bottom 2/3. This one has been painted an unattractive tan shade. It’s in a basement utility room and the vibe is ick.

This one is called Stolze Von Berlin and she’s not doing great but I only bought her to meet an order minimum, which, come to think of it, the other two from that order have also been stinkers. Lesson learned about that supplier!

These Bonesta blooms came off the same plant; one bloom being more shaded than the other can cause this. This plant hasn’t been performing amazingly for me but I’m definitely giving it another try next year.
Two formal decorative dahlia blooms- both white but one has very strong pink pinstripes/variegation and the other has just one stripe that’s really distinct

Today’s dahlia is Crazy Love and she is on a Performance Improvement Plan. Great potential, but late and I don’t like her attitude. #flowerPIP
Crazy Love is a white shaggy-petaled dahlia with magenta picotee edging. There are a couple yellow marigolds hiding behind it.
