Interesting.

Recently, I canceled both Starlink and Amazon Prime. The monthly pittance I was paying these billionaires is not noticed, but if a substantial number of people did the same, maybe we could make an impact. Starlink was a nice convenience, but considering the big picture, it’s definitely not worth it.

I canceled Prime the other day and Starlink a little before that. Yes, indeed, it felt good.

Bag of chips load with pork carnitas, four sides and a sauce.

What’s for dinner? Well, last night it was a BYOB special–Bring Your Own Bag of chips. And then Manzanita Grill, a Southwest fusion food truck in Bend, loaded it up with your choice of meat, four sides, and a sauce. We went with pork carnitas.

Backyard visitor, perhaps a Sharp-shinned Hawk.

Rhododendrons with raindrops.

Winter on the east side of Cascades and raindrops on our Rhododendrons. Not expected. Photo may have a tad too much vignette applied, but perhaps that may express the mood I was in.
