One of my good friends from college, @jlfmcnichols.bsky.social, passed on suddenly last night. I am grieving her loss and ask you to enjoy your favorite album by The Cure today in her memory… and support your local craft art and jewelry vendors of which she was a talented one.

Yesterday I actually, physically flinched when the cashier at @whataburgerr.bsky.social said, "We're out of mustard right now, is that okay?" "How can Whataburger be out of mustard?" I thought. It was beyond my comprehension. LOL She asked if I wanted mayo instead. "Oh my god, no," I laughed. 😄
