The bruising is finally visible about 72 hours after my fall. It doesn't hurt (and hasn't since about 12–16 hours after). but it sure looks pretty nasty.

I wonder what that sign says. Maybe I should cross the tracks to find out.

I didn’t know the conference venue was Baptist.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #373,612! First 4%!

I intentionally let the bananas over-ripen so I could make banana bread.

A friend posted this on The Other Place. I don't know if it's original to him.

Yay: The Eastern Redbud I put in last summer survived the winter.

Home from Thanksgiving at Mom's. Glad I went early and that traffic was light, though; the bird was ready 40 minutes earlier than planned.

Menu: Shrimp cocktail, turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauces, candied yams, pumpkin custard, and ice cream.

She did have some really weird tomatoes on her counter, though.
