The economy isn't in trouble, it's just a "messaging issue" 🤦🏼
Rep. Michael Rulli: "I think we're really gonna see an economy hopefully by Easter that is roaring"

Who do we have to contact to get our friends in Mexico to start exporting Tequila Cream (aka nectar of the gods) to Canada?
We've got some extra shelf-space in our liquor stores currently ...

This is the best Christmas album.
I won't be entertaining discussion or debate.

Just prepped our turkey for dinner tonight ... turns out it's is missing a wing, my BIL's favourite part.
It is also my favourite part.
Sucks to be him, I'm all for goodwill towards man and all that Christmas stuff but lines need to be drawn and I draw the line at turkey wings. 🦃

Spices and aromatics prepped for my first attempt at 'ayam goreng berempah' (Malaysian spice fried chicken) without an actual recipe (just an ingredient list) and trying to reduce the heat-level for Mrs Snit.
Hopefully nobody dies lol

Posting again, still hoping for an answer ...

Question for the bird-based hive mind:
I see so many videos of many hummingbirds sharing feeders but our resident hummingbird guards our feeder and chases off other hummingbirds.
Is it migratory vs non-migratory birds behaving differently?

Ours looks like the one in the photo.

For the last three years it has fallen to me to produce and deliver the Christmas "pinwheels" for the entire family.

Now that it's the first Christmas without my former mother-in-law (who introduced us all to this holiday treat) it feels even more important to keep this tradition going.
RIP Irene ❤️

Still hoping for an answer ... or even a response ... the hive mind is usually more reliable ...

Yes, there absolutely is method to my madness.
It is however most definitely not a 1:1 ratio.

Bad news for folks in the Fraser Valley. 🌧️
What's next for the Pacific Northwest?

Unfortunately, another big rainstorm, fueled by an atmospheric river targeting British Columbia this weekend before it dips toward Washington by Monday. The orientation of the moisture plume will be different, putting new rivers in the crosshairs.
