Thought for the day:

If I were driving a vehicle which advertised my small business, I would be the most courteous driver out there. Inching forward so as to block me merging onto the road from my driveway does not inspire me to “Call Blake” for my plumbing needs.

Fair winds and following seas, Aunt Sarah. Bright blessings on those you leave behind.

It really burns me that Puerto Ricans don’t have the right to vote for president, pay SSI but don’t get to claim SSI benefits, and Medicaid support is gutted for providers and recipients alike. All this and they have to live under US laws and regs, and it seems nobody even knows they’re citizens.

It’s the kind of day where I am wishing for an Original Pancake House. Sadly the closest one is in New York.

3500 miles is a long way to go for breakfast.

A Charles Collinge Lambeth hinge on a barn door

Waiting for Laivan while lizarding, I had a moment to reflect on living in a country that has a company which literally specializes in making *hinges* - like for barns.

Since I can’t do anything about how today will end, I will instead think about where I will be, five weeks from today.

I’ll be here.
