Gardening (zone 8b), tech, news, music, poetry, arts, science, pie, and love. The greatest of these is love. Pie is a close second.

There’s another bug in iOS 26.2 for iPhones. Apple filed a report for me. The “block number” capability disappears under “i“. Work around is to add spammer as contact and block from there and then delete. Pain in the rear!

My almost 17 year old Catahoula still went out to play in the snow today. This pic is from her at 4 in 2+ feet of snow.

Mom’s “done.” It’s ok bc, despite having a cold, she took me out to play in the snowstorm twice today. But, I’m not done. Good thing I have a doggy door to an outside pen. I can just go out when I want, like now when I’m running around playing w my toy in the snow.

Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.
But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together
