Today I got on the two wastewater surveillance sites in Indiana to see what’s floating around before the holidays. Carmel and Bloomington. Looks like Norovirus is the prevalent bug. Flu and covid seems low right now.

Finished the miniseries on James Garfield last night, Death by Lightning,
on Netflix (very good). I never knew anything about him but once visited Lakeview Cem in Cleveland where he is buried. I was shocked at the size and grandeur of his memorial.

The lesson here is that sometimes you shouldnt go down rabbit holes. Sometimes you need to fill them in with dirt or stone or cement.
I am ignoring that lesson because I am a messy bitch who enjoys this kind of fucked up drama.

The story behind "There Be Dragons" by Cathy Decker is pretty familiar to most quilters.
She originally bought this fabric in red but didn't have enough. So she found it in blue and pieced the top using a Jason Yenter design. Then, of course, she didn't have enough backing.

I have this postcard of my grgrandfathers that I never understood. It’s from the US Treasury Dept in 1880 requesting him to be in Brownstown on election day and Seymour on October 13, 1880. So I asked AI just to see what it said. And it spit out an opinion. #genealogy
