My daughter finds these ads highly amusing. And as a family in Northern California, we dress in layers all year round. πŸ˜€

@425suzanne.bsky.social I just had a cup of rooibos and it's my favorite non-caffeinated tea. I drink a lot of black tea (Irish breakfast) and am not a fan of most herbal teas. Good luck cutting back on the caffeine. Your skeet got me to try again. πŸ˜€

Flexing in victory: Another go at Qwirkle Flex from Susan McKinley Ross & Reiner Knizia.

The twist in this version: Tiles have one of three backgrounds, & you also score for matching backgrounds in a diagonal(!) pattern from the tiles you play.

This was my first radio and it still works.

I find it useful for staying in touch with old colleagues. Some people I worked with a lot in the past are only on LinkedIn. I occasionally post about something Idea Duck related. I don't know how it is for job searching. I get a recruiter message 5 to 10 times a year.
