Diefenbaker is very vocal when he plays, but as you can see here, it's not aggressive and he stops on request.
So sad he had to be asked for a kiss twice, but it's ok, he was worked up.

Doing physical labour for work right now. It's not hard labour but it is outside in approaching winter.
Crazy how tired it makes me. Wife sent me to bed at 8:30pm because I was asleep on the couch already.

When it's too much of a hassle to recycle, people stop doing it.
I have some old door locks to get rid of, but how do you do that?
Drive Them To The Dump.
Except I don't have a car.
So...???
Lots of people in this situation will just throw that greasy metal in the garbage.

We were told these countertops are "starlight granite".
As someone who dabbled in being a geology nerd, I can guarantee 💯 that this is not even remotely granite.
The "crystals" are clear as glass (and probably are due to the glitter around the edges).
Granite should have feldspar, quartz, and mica.

So cool that my grocery store has European, Mexican, Asian, East Asian, West Indian, & Middle Eastern aisles.
Less cool that each aisle has its own brands and prices of the same kinds of beans and lentils.
Why do I have to check 4 aisles to get the best priced brown lentils???
