It’s the weekend, of course it’s raining.

How I love that sweet sound.

What a great idea! I had no idea they made rectangular springform pans.

Rachel Carson is rolling over in her grave. I’m not old enough to remember the burning of the Cuyahoga River, but I never want to go back to that time. My whole life has been shaped by the environmental movement that came out of the late 60s and 70s.

Just a few facts about federal workers.

That is assuming you get an email and any sort of notice. I was informed by my boss Friday night my employment with FHWA was not needed. He was shocked and devastated. I was not able to download anything.

Welp, I am now a victim of the current administration. I was notified tonight that my services are no longer necessary for FHWA.

The annual cost of permanently extending Trump's tax cuts that primarily benefited rich individuals? $400 billion.

Keep this in mind as Trump and DOGE lay off thousands of federal workers.

If I had some cake, that and a glass of wine would have been my dinner!
