Got one in 2020, got the heat-pump hot water heater this spring (after the really unpleasant death of my gas water heater), and I'm one stove away from the all-electric mostly-run-on-renewables home of my dreams. Pretty sure it'll be Copper's glorious induction stove. copperhome.com/products/cha...

Area Woman Claims to have Witnessed Successful Completion of Kickflip
“I’ve never seen anything like it. He ended up ON the skateboard, like, riding it instead of chasing it into traffic!” The claim has yet to be validated, though physicists have confirmed the plausibility.

A mylar balloon landed behind us so we turned around to fetch it. Mylar balloons take hundreds of years to decompose and pose a threat to marine animals through entanglement and ingestion.
