ELBOWS UP
I'm watching the film Judgment at Nuremberg, and the similarities in mentality to today are disturbing. Questions are being asked of those who stood by and watched, and the answer is the same song and dance we hear today. "I'm not political," and "both sides". We have learned nothing. Nothing.

Sage bread and sandwich bread are done. Between this and yesterday's cooking I should be good for a while.

I made squash and lentil soup, and baked beans today. Tomorrow, more sage bread and a loaf of sandwich bread for the freezer.

Visiting with Twister. If it wasn't for the white patch of hair starting up on his forehead you'd never know he was nearly 26.

Banana cream pie. The crust still needs work but gets better with each attempt. Tastes good but is crazy sweet, not sure if I can dial that back with this recipe.

Made a pie from the pumpkin from my #garden. And I got to try out my fancy new pie weights my roommate gave me 😀

Had to get an emergency Uber for a friend and oh my God that company is shady as HELL. First they tried charging me 100 bucks for a ride, I got it down to 43, and then they reversed the charges and recharged me 55 dollars without my knowledge or consent.

The arm has healed enough to finally go visit the Very Bad Pony, and BAM! Huge snowstorm on the way 🙁. Between 30 and 60 cms apparently. He'll have to wait until Monday I guess.

I was literally just saved by my sister's #dog Ollie. I was out taking a walk when a strange dog charged me very aggressively. Ollie saw what was happening, and violently defended me, chasing the other dog off, and then insisted on escorting me the rest of the way home.

Feeling down? Depressed at the state of the world? Are you in desperate need of some #brainbleach ?

Well I present to you, a man teaching an #octopus to play the #piano. Uplifting, entertaining, delightful. Give it a watch

Surgery went well. I still need to get more details on what the recovery period is going to look like, but it looks like I could be driving again in a month. I'm sore, but this is 100 times better than having abdominal surgery which is a VERY nice surprise. This will be much easier than anticipated.

Setting up my recovery station, and I appear to have solved the "how to read with one hand" problem. Gotta make sure I can see those letters from space.
