Westminster, Maryland, showed up! A crowd of predominantly white senior citizens and the disabled were the #handsoff protest!

Dear Younger Me:
There will come a point where you will stalk the Amazon tracker for your delivery of scrapbooking squares. Race to the door to greet the delivery person. And gleefully get stuck in to chronicling your family!
Signed, Older Me

Love seeing that @mcdotnow.bsky.social has joined, is promoting @bsky.app, and wants Montgomery County, Maryland, bus riders to post photos of Flash Light buses!

Searching for a laptop on my ratchet HP All-in-One desktop my family begged me not to buy 7 years ago. All it’s good for is backing up to Carbonite, but it keeps disconnecting from the internet so it’s useless.

Checked out a stack of books:

Dutch House: Reading
Elon Musk: Stopped
Revolutionary Samuel Adams: Reading
His Truth Is Marching On: Reading
A Darker Reality: Stopped
Book of Longings: Reading
Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Reading
Madam Speaker: Reading
The Art of Power: Reading

What are you reading?

I left the house on November 8. Haven’t left the house since. I’ll be honest, I’m fine. Maybe feeling a little stir crazy. Telework. Reading. TV. Relaxing. Back in the office tomorrow.

That’s odd. I got confirmation a few days after I put my ballot in a drop box at a Howard County Library. Here’s a website.

Amazing growth!!!

Does anyone else live in horsey country? I’m in a rural part of a suburban county in Maryland. My neighborhood is zoned for horses. I have 2-3 neighbors who have built fences and horse barn. Lived here for 30 years and this is the first time I’ve seen fox hunters with dogs in my neighborhood!

Forgot to post photos!

This is giving funeral vibes. Phil Collins. Slow car. Mourners dressed in black.

If you see this, I invite you to post a picture (from whatever device you’re using) without explanation.

Last week was a truly awful week. The worst. I’m still reeling.

This week? Two colleagues praised my expertise. An associate sought out my expertise.

I’ll take whatever I can get.

I’ve used printers since 1984. Dot matrix.
Laser.
Inkjet.
Dell.
HP.
Doesn’t matter the brand or model, there’s always a problem.
Today…no black ink. I have 2 color cartridges. Helpful…not.

I’m not a rule breaker. I try to be a law-abiding citizen. I slipped and have no regrets posting these 3 signs at the back of my house. Shhh. Technically, the signs were not on my property. I live in a Trumpy section of a Maryland county and I’m psyched that the signs lasted 3 weeks!!

Saw Elton John cover band at son’s Family Weekend. Singer is a body double for Elton John.
