It was less than a month ago, but it feels like another lifetime:

We're ready for a warming trend!

Yep, I'm here. I sense a huge shift from FB to Bluesky happening.

Hi Stephanie!

Wow! I feel blessed, or anointed, or something. :D

Hi Gary - I think we all are.

When I moved to Northeast Iowa, my worst culture shock was finding that there are no Waffle Houses here. They tried, and one or two buildings remain, but they're not Waffle Houses any more. Maid-Rites are a partial consolation, if you don't mind waiting for lunch to have something good.

I am, for whatever it's worth, here. Former friends and followers on that huge social media platform are likelier to find me here from now on. Still in Iowa, still retired, still getting older, and still cranky. :)

Sandy McLendon, for one.

P.S., Sam - Hi from Sandy!

An amazing collection of treasures - with bazazz!
