Awesome benefit of having our own hydroponics setup... being able to grab fresh bok choy and green onions for your Ramen without having to go anywhere.

Day two and the crows have flown into a tree in my yard when called. Twice.

Day two and the crows have flown into a tree in my yard when called. Twice.
A little bit of randomness... I've decided to befriend the crows in my neighborhood.
Today, I started by feeding them some peanuts I picked up at the local hardware store.
It has to be done with some precision because I need to not encourage the tree demons (squirrels).
Already making progress.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.
If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Every retailer in America should display the original price of an item along with the new tariffed price.
Let it sink in for the slowest in the herd.
Tariffs are a tax.
You're paying for them.

Loving my Irish heritage right now!
Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:
They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”
Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…
Made in Nicaragua.
They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.
Legendary.
