I’ve always been a reluctant optimist, remaining positive & extending the benefit of the doubt. But this … feels different. Like the world is burning and there’s no point left. I can’t be the only one reaching their limit.

The otter keeper gave this baby otter a sock to keep warm. She later turned it into a onesie with holes for the hands, feet, and tail

Come join me by the fire.

I also made grilled cheese sandwiches.
Whatever you’ve struggled with recently, never forget that you made it to today. You beat impossible odds over your lifetime.
And here you are.

What would be the purpose of having your homemaker wife buy/sell property in her name only in early 20th century, ruralish area, other deeds with both spouses? Some benefit? She has no money of her own. Some land bought at sheriff’s auction, some not. #genealogy

IN OTHER NEWS, I’ve decided it’s time to tackle #genealogy across the pond. Been avoiding it, but it’s a skill I need to learn. Starting with England & Scotland. Saving Finland for last due to maddening language barrier and patronyms.

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.
The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.
