I've revived my old @treestoknow.bsky.social account, semi-regularly posting text and the amazing illustrations of Hugh J. Hayes ( keeporegongreen.org/archive/ ) from an old edition of "Trees To Know In Oregon", if you're into that sort of thing.

I'm not going to post a picture of what my small son brought home from his "where I live" school project because it's where I live but it's exactly what you'd picture when I say "a poor quality monochrome printout of your house with what looks like blood smeared all over the doors and windows"

I got a template in the mail! Clever marketing from the direct mail company there? But NCOA makes me think that the National Council On Aging, the Non-Commissioned Officer's Association, the National Change Of Address program, or the National Chamber Orchestra of Armenia is trying to get in touch.

At this point I think I've dreamed enough weird food over the last couple years that I could open a food cart that serves only food that came to me in dreams.
Last night's is a foodstuff called "Performance" which, in the dream, I was told is "a San Diego thing". Here is how Performance works:
