My wife turns 50 today. In honor of Easter and her love of hedgehogs, we hid 50 of these in the house. She has 5 left to find. It's been an hour. Make that 4 left.

So, MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE was made by Amazon but it goes over to Netflix right when Amazon starts advertising for MELANIA. Am I the only one that sees a link or am I just paranoid?

Life update if you care. I got gussied up for an interview (even trimmed my nose hair). Didn't get the job. 4 years of trying, and failing, to be a teacher has left me a bit empty inside. But also a bit happy. Because I got promoted to today. I'm now allowed to drive the tractor!

Sounds like Stuart. Who for education DCR to write a letter approving his violation of a conservation easement so he can make money on solar. At least it was solar and not a data center.

Saw Baba Yaga's house yesterday. Creepy and cool use of cardboard by University of Lynchburg students.
A cardboard creation that represents Baba Yaga's house. It looks like a brown wooden house with a crooked chimney supported on two bird legs.

9 mailboxes cleared. 3 driveways cleared. 2 falls on the ice. 1 sore back (even though I used a tractor, not a shovel). 0 broken garage doors (thankfully I was able to fix it). As payment, I got 2 hugs, 1 thank you, and the promise to deliver a homemade cheesecake at some point int he future. 1/2

Yep. This is the county I live in. They ban books, hate LGBTQIA+ students, and encourage prayer before and during meetings. Our kids are out of the system now but there are so many other that are not safe here. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

As much as I enjoyed today, I have now reached my fill of tractors. We spent hours shopping. Massey Ferguson. New Holland. John Deere. Kubota. Kioti. Yanmar. Pretty much everything readily available for sale near us. And of course all the attachments. Lots of options. But no decisions. Yet.

Never knew drinking a soda from a glass bottle could be so dangerous. Until today when I popped the cap off and apparently took some glass with it. Thankfully just a minor cut on my lip. And a few wasted dollars. And a serious hankering for a grape Nehi.

Yule ≠ Christmas Yule is one of the oldest winter solstice festivals, with origins among the ancient Norse thousands of years ago. Although today it’s heavily associated with, and even confused with, Christmas, the celebration existed long before Christianity. 🧵⬇️
