This birder is pretty excited that Maine’s standard-issue license plates feature two of her favorite things:
pine trees and chickadees.
(Hey - it rhymes, to boot!)

I’m reading about EPA Superfund sites (large, hazardous areas being cleaned up through federal- & state efforts).
Knowing this whole place can ruin your health forever, tell me this small segment of one such site (Kittery/Portsmouth Naval Shipyard) isn’t straight out of a horror script:

We finally have a car!
In Europe, there was no need for one.
Then, in Seattle, public transport was good enough.
Moving to Maine, we needed one but pandemic supply shortages struck.
Now we’re vroom-vrooming for the first time in our SIX years together (UHaul cross-country move aside) 😂

I’ve seen some weird eBay shit over the years, but finding fragile ornaments SHIPPED in just a Kirkland tissue box is a new one.
They… they really just jammed the ornaments through the slot, stuffed a supermarket flyer on top, taped it up and then affixed their CUSTOMIZED ADDRESS LABEL 😭

Been volunteering at a rescue farm these past couple weeks; it had been a good decade since I’d last mucked out styes & stables.
I don’t have noodle arms and spend all day being physical… but it’s true: once you’ve lost your farm arms, there’s no growing them back.
I am officially a townie wimp 🥲

Seven years ago:
Went on a RIDICULOUS 30h journey on a whim (three planes, four trains, six buses, two taxis, one lighting strike, one cow on the tracks), because life felt dead-ended.
I have since switched continents, lives, careers and gotten married to the reason for that journey.
Life: wild.

Only three things in life are certain:
1. Death;
2. Taxes;
