Once again I have proved the first rule of selling on eBay: in order to sell an item on eBay, one must first list the item on eBay. (It's odd how items don't sell themselves from inside my closet.)

I had a dream last night that I was being required to move into my empty childhood home. I was not thrilled.

On my walk earlier this week, I waved to all of the people on a passing train. Because that's the rule: you wave to the people on the train. It is not age-restricted. I also like to wave to flaggers, and sometimes to sanitation workers. Now I also know to wave (safely) to other work crews too!
i encourage greetings for our crews when you see them near you. if a safe opportunity is there, go ahead and give them a wave or a thank you. it goes a long way.
I saw one of your trucks on the towpath near Station Road Bridge and wanted to stop and say hi but then realized the worker would probably find that really weird.

The smart cat was extremely worried that I would miss my bus this morning. For 20 minutes, he worked diligently to get me out of bed because something had happened to my alarm clock. For 20 minutes I tried to explain "fall back" to him, but he kept telling me I was talking nonsense. 🤷 He was right.

Wait, hear me out. It's almost like the party in power has the ability to end the shutdown and is choosing not to.
Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

A rare happy story: The Boston Museum of Fine Arts has restored its holdings of the works of the enslaved potter David Drake to his descendants, following the pattern of Holocaust art restitution, the first time a museum has restored a work produced by an enslaved person.
MFA Boston returns works by 19th-century enslaved artist David Drake to his heirs

When the old man is 17 and has a chronic illness that we manage every day, it's hard to imagine good news coming from any vet visit, but his numbers changed in the good direction this time! What we're doing is working. And most importantly, he seems happy and engaged (esp. at 3:30 am). 😻 #cats
