#3goodthings #threegoodthings 
from the last couple of days

Feb 28
- bought nothing but lunch at a mom-pop diner, paid cash
- sold two more bits of junk out of the house
- bingeing Sherwood and glad there are subtitles

#3goodthings #threegoodthings 
- edit of the proposed landscape policy, so reminiscent of my old job. 
- delicious Turkish lunch
- getting a bit better handle on what needs doing

#3goodthings #threegoodthings 
- quiet and relatively peaceful day
- most of the tax
documents assembled
- rewatching Loki and it’s just as good the 2nd time

#3goodthings #threegoodthings 
- good board meeting 
- gorgeous day, took a walk in the sun and raked out the neighborhood curb drains
- caught up with filing, file shredding, and started assembling the tax documents; a job Bill used to do so it was melancholic but another step forward

Look, if you believe in kings, then let’s be honest—you can’t call yourself a patriot. You just can’t. You don’t get to wrap yourself in the flag of a country that was quite literally founded on rejecting a monarchy while, at the same time, wishing for one. That’s not how this works.

took a break so catching up a bit. 
Fun Christine Lavin concert yesterday 
- Arolsen Archives transcription of Displaced Persons records. Doing these makes me feel slightly better.
- Lunch with friends from a local Loss Group.

River ice in swirls and half melted footprints.

After a long time holed up or busy, a bit of fine weather allowed a #stupidlittledailywalk by the river. Here is some snowy ice with calming swirls and footprints.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Catching up from a couple doldrum days…

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Russia amplified hurricane disinformation to drive Americans apart, researchers find Russia has helped amplify and spread false and misleading internet claims about recent hurricanes in the United States and the federal government's response, part of a wider effort by the Kremlin to m...

On the frontline against bird flu, egg farmers fear they're losing the battle The tools the US used to contain previous bird flu outbreaks just aren't working this time, according to some agricultural experts. Some egg farmers have called for vaccinations for poultry.

Why are egg prices so high? This is why. Herbruck’s are a major egg producer in mid-Michigan. The bird flu is not a hoax or a joke. The farmers are doing their best to prevent loss of birds and contain the disease.

Trying to get in the habit of noting three good things each day. Yesterday’s list:

1. Got some good rest by being, essentially, a slug.
2. Did several hours of transcription of Holocaust records for the Arolsen Archives.
3. Tidied the kitchen.
