Trivia, Aviation, Lego. Go Blue and Gig ‘em. My wife and I are trying to visit every NPS site, so there will probably be pictures.
The other advantages of money over food is eligibility for corporate matching and the food bank is probably shopping wholesale.
If anyone is around Cincinnati, the Freestore Foodbank is pretty great.

Build the typewriter, take apart, build the keytar for display.
A few years ago my wife responded to everyone in her family with the same 3-in-1 set when asked what I might like for Christmas. It was an awesome Christmas.

Huh? John Brown was raised in OH, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Salmon Chase were very active in abolitionist circles in Cincinnati. Ohio has many faults, but they were as anti-slavery as anyone.

In OH, the legislature has found or is working on end runs around at least 3 constitutional amendments (gerrymandering, abortion, marijuana). For a democracy to work, the electorate needs to treat working against the system as a permanently disqualifying condition. Else I don’t know how we fix it.

I subscribe to an aviation safety daily email and by far the most entertaining are diversions due to passenger behavior on charters between England and the Med. Covid seems to have put a lot of those operators out of business, but I think that’s the most likely place to witness an inflight brawl.

I’m only doing this for the little extra pieces, but I bought a bunch of these cheap sorters at Menard’s. I sort by shape (front box) and when I have enough to fill a compartment, that shape gets it own box and I sort them by color (back box).

I established a sorting system for the extra pieces that come in Lego sets.

PS: mom passed in November and the estate is still trying to recover the ~4 months of social security payments locked away in Charlie so that we can settle her end of life medical bills.

They’ll find out when payments start bouncing and that means penalty fees and embarrassment and months of sorting out the consequences. Many won’t have family to help and will never fully recover. Some may lose power, and die or suffer without oxygen generators and the like. My rage is white hot.

…who to call. She thought it was a problem with the power company, then her local bank, then social security. Probably she should’ve made an angry call to Charlie, although they likely wouldn’t have helped her. Most seniors aren’t going to find out gently that they missed a check.
