Old lady pro tip: When you make pie crust use 1/2 vodka-1/2 water to moisten the dough. More flaky. Bonus tip: Use cold water to wash up dishes and counter. Warm water will turn flour into glue. Try my sister’s orgasmic blueberry glacé pie. You’re welcome!

My least favorite thing here? Giant House Spiders. Thats literally the name. Yes very big (up to 4” across), they live IN the house, and found to be the fastest spider in the world. Also, if you like summer, ours are short. Looks like we’ll get summer this Sunday and Monday…

Indeed. Likely technology will take many jobs, and we’ll have to wrap our collective heads around a basic guaranteed income for those are displaced. We talked about this eventuality in a computer science class I took in the mid-80s.
