- 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.

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.
Mark Hamill posting rebellious content in a battle against a dictator and his robotic sidekick is the most Star Wars shit ever.

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.

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.

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.

1. Nice time with the Midwinter Singing Festival workshops
2. Cold but sunny so that helps with the gloom
3. Holocaust record project was completed with many more getting completed than the goal - something like 55-60,000 were done in a four day effort!
