It does seem to me that turbulence is more frequent. Hard for me to reconcile if it’s recency bias or not.
We’re here. Winter is so short in ME. Why would we be anywhere else? /s
WB was a great little spot, esp the patio. Gone too soon for us, but on her timetable, which is what we all can respect. Hopefully new folks (Cherie) will also have a good run in that space.

Bike thieves suck.
what's your response to this not being considered a word?
Every time I feel I’m working too hard, my psi gives me affirmation. I’m not getting old (though I am), I’m riding on soft tires.
That story aged pretty well today, eh?
Wow! A trivia-rich lineup. I’d be stretched name 50% of those guys’ Christian names.

It’s always a good night when we pull the guest bowl out of the closet.
Is this not the same place that modified benches during COVID so that people couldn’t sleep on them?
Hate to say it but we really need G2

Remembering when music came with visual art as well as audio.
I always appreciate TL's thoughtful perspective. But today, I had to marvel at that full paragraph that was one gigantic sentence - and completely readable. We're lucky to have a solid local sports reporter, and one who knows how to use all the punctuation tools for good.
1945 North Carolina newspaper article indicating that homes can be sprayed with DDT dust for pest control. DDT led to declines in bird populations and is suspected to be a human carcinogen.
A reminder that current science doesn't always age well - from Wilmington NC Morning Star, 24 August, 1945.
This year I've learned to order products and book services directly if that's an option, instead of using an aggregator. Puts more money in the provider's pocket, and sometimes earns extra perks.
Cheers to the Hearts fans taking @gpmetro.org 9A to the match. Stop is just a block away.
Tombstone from Cashel. It reads “here lies the body of Anne Scully daughter to Darby Scully of Camas, who lived beloved and died regretted on 27 February 1810 in the 18th year of her age”
To “live beloved & die regretted” sounds like winning to me. Except for the 18 years part.
Signs of change: line outside the local bakery - and it’s longer than the JBA winner one rn.
