🫖 Decided to make a whole pot of cinnamon spice tea because my throat is sore. I like a little sugar in my tea, but I was guessing how much to add to the entire pot — I was wrong. Way too sweet. I totally Willy Wonka'd the entire pot and had to throw it out. Back to making one cup at a time. 🍵

Today I have: 1. Went to urgent care. Don't have Covid, strep, or flu, just a sore throat virus; 2. Wrote customer service about a failed charger on the 6-month-old cat water fountain, and; 3. Caught a fraudulent $3.17 charge on my checking, and thwarted the bad guys. I am a bloody superhero! 🦸

I've been boycotting them for quite a while because of their union-busting tactics. On the more positive side, I've discovered many lovely small independent coffee shops around town.

Wow! The first business I've heard of returning clawed-back tariffs to customers! Good for them! They're also great about supporting workers through salaries and benefits. They could be more supportive of unions, but this and their stockholders' resistance to Trump's anti-DEI push is good!

My phone is 4 years old. Don't replace phones until they stop giving security updates; a risk I don't want to take. Already, updates are reduced so I have another year or so before I have to get a new one? New Samsung phones are now being marketed as Galaxy AI — Bet there's no way to turn it off. 😡

Bank of America has notified me of their new $14/mo. checking account fee if you don't maintain a $1,500 balance. It doesn't affect me, but it does affect the poor. Along with massive cuts in food aid in the US and rising prices, there's this extra bit of pain for no other reason than they can.

A Poem By Joseph Fasano

For the student who asked why poetry matters in a world at war

I know. I know
we have no words now,
no way
to begin to praise
this world.

Lie still,
when you leave here, in the shadows.

The wind just might be children
in the willows.
All you have to do today
is listen. 
Wars are made by those who hear no birds.

KTVN News: "The Nevada Seismological Laboratory is reporting a magnitude 2.59 earthquake that hit near Sun Valley on Tuesday night. The quake struck just after 10:30 p.m., a bit more than three-quarters of a mile west-northwest of Sun Valley." A tiny 2.59 quake? I slept right through it.

A two panel cartoon where there is a bear to the left drinking coffee a small Bunny in the middle and to the right the Mothman with big red eyes. At the beginning the bearers saying that moth is huge. The Bunny is saying I think that's Mothman. Legend says he's a harbinger of doom. The bear looks at his coffee cup in the last panel and it says man, this coffee is terrible. The Mothman replies I tried to warn you.

Teachers are turning kids trans! Actually, it's true. Taught elementary school for 30 years. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to teach reading, writing, math, history, grade papers, supervise playgrounds, and turn kids trans without their parents finding out? Teachers should be paid more.

Day 2 of the pool media boycotting Trump. Like Mike Teavee in Willie Wonka, he must be in withdrawals. News articles have talked about other poor quality video. The thing they haven't mentioned is when he talks there is an noticeable reduction of cameras and mics. It must drive him nuts.

🧵1/2 — Decided to do something new with my writing routine. I'm attending a monthly gay writers' group in Reno after church. Besides meeting new people in a new location, I've been able to overthink this almost into the ground: "What if I'm the oldest?" "What if they're unnerved I'm a priest?" ...
A 5 panel cartoon. In the A woman is ringing a doorbell thinking Don't panic it's just a party. In the second she's thinking no need to be nervous. Just a social gathering. In the third panel she's outside the door still thinking with food and drinks and games and... In the 4th panel the door opens and there are a million people saying come in. In the last panel she looks frightened, her eyes are big and she's slamming the door and saying people!

Good news and bad news on my 2019 electric Nissan Leaf. A recall required a programming update that could brick the car, but it made it through. Yay! I keep my car. Bad news... it might still brick in the next year. But, if it does Nissan will buy it back, allowing me to afford a new one... Yay!

Fire season isn't over. Coming back from errands, I saw a fire blowing up behind the mountains to the west. I love the vistas in Nevada — You can see so far. The pics are from near my home, but the fire is 64 miles (103 km) away in Floriston, California. The last picture is the closest view.

Blue sky above, but in the middle distance, smoke from a forest fire rises and drifts to the northeast.Closer now to the fire, you can see it's source behind the mountains.

Pride Day in Reno, Nevada! 🌈 I stood in the long check-in line that ran alongside the river in front of Trinity Cathedral to the Arlington bridge that led into the park where the festivities were. Talked to folks in line who had questions about Episcopalians and shared sunscreen.
Going down the hill on Arlington Street to the festival. In the foreground are lots of people. In the background are lots of people.  There are trees to the right and to the left and tall buildings in the background. This shot is mainly of the River and the Arlington bridge to my right. To the left you can see the end of the line as we near the entrance booth.This is my first look inside the festival. People everywhere, tents, trees, and a large condo building in the background. The sky is very blue!Once I got through the ticket booth, this was the main site that greets you. Throngs of people in the street and the park on either side filled with booths of people Hawking wares or inviting one club or another and various churches and Civic groups. Also some businesses showing how groovy and pro-gay they are.
