Random health update – I have discovered that my local Y has a pretty amazing pool that has very light usage from 9-11 am
This has done wonders for my daily workout options. The exercise machines are also new and/or well-maintained. The monthly cost is very reasonable, too.
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The ochre jelly and brain worm are hurting us all
JUST IN: In an unprecedented move, US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. removed all 17 members of the CDC’s expert panel of vaccine advisers, citing conflicts of interest. cnn.it/4dVioEF
Notice how while ICE arrests people without a warrant, invades homes without a warrant, & disappears people into death camps-NRA is silent. Know why? Because NRA was never about firearm protection-but about white supremacy protection.
As long as ICE targets mostly Black & brown people, NRA is happy

Blue prince update, no real spoilers.
The spare room is much more handy than I had thought when I first started playing the game.

I have solved the dartboard more than 40 times.
I think I am behind on making contraptions?
The quote suggests a state of acceptance or even contentment as a fruit ripens, and its natural sweetness (the honey) permeates the body, leading to a calmer, more relaxed state. The idea is that with the arrival of ripe sweetness (or maturity), the internal struggle (thicker blood) subsides.
Fireflies tonight!
Just a fun day: my wife and I went off to cruise yard sales, farmers’ markets, get frozen lemonade, and frozen custard.
Things seen today –
random wedding at moment of rice toss, and then the reception later on in a different location
Several adult and baby geese
So many dogs
Fireflies!
A deer in the in-laws front yard
Sweet cotton clouds on the mountains
Food eaten today –
2 bananas
Curry veggie empenada
Leftover slice of pizza
2 soft pretzels
A waffle cone with choc / van swirl
Not the healthiest, but tasty on a warm day.
Elon admitting he facilitated the election of a known rapist to the presidency to further his own financial and influential interests isn’t the flex he thinks it is.
This doesn’t make up for *gestures broadly* and it’s more proof we’re ruled by adolescent morons, I know. But we just got to let ourselves have this, especially when you stop and think about the MAGAs who invested in Cybertrucks.
