You might think a house would run out of improvement-based History Boys references, but you WOULD be wrong. Natalie, goin strong! What a house!

A bouquet of flowers with a card reading: Jackie, The things I do for insulation! No more the chill's melancholy long withdrawing roar. No more confusing learning with the feeling of cold fingers. Are we insulated for life. d'you think! We must hope so! Love, Natali (E. A. the Housman)

If you need something positive to do to help your community right now that will cost nothing but time, go give blood. Someone is always in need. (A family member's life was saved by donated blood.) For a list of blood donation centers & blood drives within 20 miles of your zip code, search AABB:

SAME. Homeownership flipped a switch in my brain.

also, if you access bluesky on both mobile and desktop, you'll have to turn of autoplay on each one.
