This reminds me of the Dick Van Dyke show when they would do song and dance shows in little inns. #HATM

I thought I'd put the administration's proposed "compact" with universities in context, so I wrote the blog post below.

It's especially for journalists covering this story!

Many details about how the compact itself works and why the administration has retreated to this strategy.

French drain excavation is under way.

So far no great archeological finds, unless you count the top part of a plastic bird.

It’s fascinating to watch pros in a different field do what they do.

Do you have a favorite way to prepare them?

DeBOOkie @debookie.bsky.social · 12d

💚 yes, these will be cooked and eaten! I often put them in strews, but also just pressure cooked with onion, garlic, salt, and whatever sounds good (peppers, tomatoes…) This year I hope to have enough on hand to try some possibilities. We’ll see…

Planted the seeds in spring, and weeks later they popped up. Then they took off and have been producing beans since. Several weeks ago I decided to let the pods start drying on the vines to get these “beans” (versus eating the whole pod/seeds as green beans.)

This was the short version. And I wonder if those travelers lined up at the wheelchair staging area are still sitting there.

Accreditation can be time consuming and expensive which can be problems for small schools. Costs that don’t necessarily pay off.

But the law doesn’t just apply to schools. It applies to classes. So, read up. If necessary, make sure you figure in B&O for that CE you want to teach. /4

The WA State Workforce and Training Board just confirmed that unaccredited trade schools are not exempt and will be taxed. WSWTB is not at present exempting schools that meet WSWTB and other applicable state licensing agency requirements but are unaccredited. /3

Senate Dems released a report today about DODGE & its attempt destroy Social Security and this is precisely what they should do. However though I have seen some coverage of this, I doubt the public will really take this in given everything else happening.

If you know of any local sellers of “fancy” varieties, let me know. I’ve only found them online. 😕 #gardening 🌱
