My security camera picked up a visitor early AM yesterday. Seen lots of #deer on nearby greenway, so no surprise they wander through the neighborhood, too.

I may turn into one of these #Aldi dark #chocolate sea salt #caramel clusters at the rate I am consuming them.

Sweet/salty/crunchy/chewy at the same time!

Before Christmas, I bought the entire run of Dallas for $15. Because I knew I'd need a distraction about now.

Didn't watch it regularly back in the day, so I have 14 seasons to catch up on.

The lazy person's guide to removing low-accumulation #snow from your sidewalk.

I just rewired three #midcentury lamps I have picked up from the #ThriftStore over the years.

Very satisfying to extend the life of these lamps while making them safer. Should have updated them earlier than I did!

Washington Post, I have zero intention of subscribing again as long as Jeff Bezos keeps up with his nonsense and interference.

GO AWAY. And get a new owner and editors.
