I can’t make this shit up. After returning home from my choring I started a walk. On this walk I went past a house that had thrown a wire shelving and unit into their trash can! I quickly walked home to get my car, and returned to claim the parts. At first I was confused because I found four shelves, and 3.5 legs (missing the longer part of one leg). I decided that the clips were cheap enough to buy a new set from Amazon instead of cleaning out the garbage can since they were all on the bottom. I was disappointed that one of the leg pieces was missing, until I saw it sticking out of a neighbor’s garbage can, a neighbor that was across the street and a block away! and claimed it.

Wordle: four, my starter was PENIS

Words I could not use as starters this week because they’ve already been solutions:
ANGST
BROKE
CHEAT
CRIME
THIEF

Words I could not use as starters this week because they aren’t valid for Wordle:
ASSHOLE
CHARLATAN
CRIMINAL
NARCISSIST

I nearly dated this post as “2024-01-24”. Ah the halcyon days of 2024 when I truly believed that Donald Trump would not be reelected president…

Yesterday’s brutally cold weather allowed me the excuse to stay indoors. I set up a new grow light that I’ve owned for a couple of years now (long story, mostly related to 2024 travel insanity), and OMG is it so much better than the cheaper grow lights I bought in 2020. Maybe all of my seedlings won’t be leggy this spring…

The sequel is never better than the original, and I absolutely hated the original.

Found my way to Northside Tavern yesterday afternoon. For the first time in my life I realized that Northside Tavern isn’t on Northside Drive, but rather Howell Mill Road.

I finished my rewatch of season one of Severance last night, and am optimistically hopeful that season two, which starts on Friday, will live up to the hype.

What do CLOAK, CRAWL, CYBER, CHEAP, and CHOSE have in common? As of yesterday these were five of the Wordle solutions in the previous twelve days. WTF NYT, do you need a dictionary to find more words which begin with the other 25 letters?

Frustration set in yesterday when the power blipped a few times in the afternoon; FFS, I made it all through the worst of the weather without losing power! With the first blip one of my security cameras didn’t reconnect to my WiFi, and as of now nothing I have attempted has fixed this. Two other camera managed to rejoin without my intervention.
