NO DMS! I love to laugh! I'm also a very serious person who thinks it's extremely important to stay well-informed on goings on in the world, and I'm drawn to intelligence. Music, dancing, art, are must-haves for me. I enjoy simple pleasures.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend

As seen in Paducah.
This is "Alice's Sienna Burst" by Charles Cameron. He made 2 of these quilts for his daughters. Charles had quite a bit to say, so I'll attach his comments plus a close-up.

Long day. I am now going to find a box, like this kitty, to pass out in.

The rule defines the meaning of a postmark, the date printed or stamped on most mailed items. In the past, the postmark generally indicated the date the USPS received the item. Now, it will explicitly mean the date that the USPS processes the item. https://to.pbs.org/4qiBkTa

Here's another picture for those of you who have become highly invested in my weird mystery project. Is it starting to look like something yet?

The birds were first spotted with more than 70 found dead on athletic fields.

The Health department said final lab test results for the dead vultures found confirm the birds died from highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), H5, otherwise known as the “bird flu.”

As a hard-core knitter, this pattern is both great for my brain (everything lines up like a grid) and blows my mind (I'm not used to the way shaping can happen in crochet). I'm glad I am doing it, especially for my New Years cast on. #MenWhoCrochet #KnittersWhoCrochet

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

'American arrogance' in full display to the world is very problematic for so many reasons. Even our allies, or former allies, will not wish America well with this or give the U.S. their support and backing. This behavior alienates and isolates us and is not in our best interest. Pride before a fall.
