People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure
It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant
Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed
That they should “try harder”
The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

I've got duetting owls hooting in the park tonight! I hope this is the return of the mated pair getting ready to claim the nesting area again for the spring.

Half way done Alien Earth and I think it's quite good! Also fun to see Tim Olyphant in a role other than lawman or cowboy or cowboy lawman.

If you ordered from me this weekend, I have them going out tomorrow. If you haven’t ordered yet, you still have a chance.
So one of the things I made this time around were screws studs. They make me laugh. As the sales decrease, I need to increase my enjoyment of making for the sake of making.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
This is the story of this terrible tragedy.
