That bag will never be the same, Ashley.
(We could have rescued the bag before it was destroyed, but we’d already rescued many other things, and this one just didn’t seem worth the trouble)

Thought it might be getting a little late for third coffee, but looked at the clock and it was barely after 9:00 AM! Maybe we should go back to standard time every day!
I would prefer local solar time, and had thought next best would be permanent standard time, but maybe setting the clocks back an hour every day would be even better!

Walked with @jackieLbrewer to a nearby venue for early voting, and exercised the franchise. The walk was also a bit of exercise, although after I went for a run as well. 🏃

As the son of an ornithologist (like @limako), I know a mist net when I see one.

Irish and international at 7 Saints. The feature is this Redbreast finished in Kentucky Oak. Sweet. Smooth. Delicious.
Now we’re eating supper and drinking beer. I have a Triptych Been a King, and @jackieLbrewer has a Half Acre Burl.

I had no idea that’s what an escalator looked like on the inside.

My brain wants me to get up when it starts getting light outside. Works great most of year—I wake up between 5:30 and 6:30. When sunrise doesn’t happen until after 7:00, my brain decides something has gone wrong, and wakes me up at 4:30. Not convenient.

After a frustrating experience a couple of months ago, when Houlihan’s wasn’t serving outdoors, I decided to risk it again. Round trip walk from home will be well over 4 miles.
