I wish charities would stop sending sheets of return address labels in hopes of getting another donation. The $ spent on labels I rarely use anymore could go to their cause.

@elimccann.bsky.social are you a member of the Safeway “Just for you” rewards program? I am, and this was my reward today. Immediately thought of your wonderful husband and smiled. If I lived closer (I’m in SoCal!) I’d drop them off to you! 🍉

Disgusted and embarrassed by the American tourists (yes I’m sure) who bent the electric fence and ignored the “do not enter” signs to run across a field of sheep at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. Why have so many become this way? 😢

I’ve said hi to a lot of dogs … and sheep, in Ireland. This is a dog friendly, beautiful country.

The Monarchs made their way back and our butterfly garden is thriving. No better way to start my day than an enjoying my coffee on a quiet morning, watching the caterpillars eat. 🐛🦋

“New packaging,” said the dairy manager. Indeed. Now 24 oz instead of 32 oz, and $1 more. Product of CA. No tariffs. We are not stupid @safeway.bsky.social.
Oh and eggs are still $6.99/doz. Keep hearing egg prices are down. Nope. You do not need to take advantage of us. Please.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

It’s hard to believe it’s still January. Feels like we’ve had a year of bad news already.

Waiting for a flight at LAX and I keep hearing the recording of cheerful Karen Bass welcoming visitors to our wonderful city of Los Angeles. Perhaps airport officials should think about turning that off for awhile? #CaliforniaFires

We are now at 60 mph sustained winds, with gusts up to 83 mph. Wouldn’t want to be on a plane arriving or departing Burbank airport (yes, they are flying). This is not hurricane country …. 😳 #PalisadesFire #EatonFire

60 mph gusts. Non-stop sirens - reports of trees and wires down all over our city. And yet I sit by my front window and see people out walking dogs and even a couple walking with their young son, who was smiling and laughing. Think, people. Please. #PalisadesFire #EatonFire

I have lived in SoCal for 35+ years. Experienced dozens of Santa Ana wind events. Nothing like this. Ever. Never in January. These used to be Sept/Oct winds. We are safe for now - notices sent to friends who live in canyons that our guest rooms are ready. #PalisadesFire #EatonFire

Illegal fireworks started in my neighborhood at 6:30 pm. My dog is already trembling under the bed. New Year’s Eve should not be this way. Yet to come, the big show from Universal Studios up the hill. #crappynewyear
