So I got a flat tire on Sunday. Mike put the spare on. We drove on it for ~8 miles before replacing with a full sized tire. Every warning light on the dashboard was on for 150+ miles. We drove to BR and back before they cleared.
I just got this text from the Subaru dealership.

This from Instagram also got me feeling some kind of way.
A screenshot of an Instagram post from @nola_prepared: We will fix this in court. We will fix at the ballot box. We will fix it by refusing to lose sight of who we are. We will fix it by maintaining our humanity in the face of their cruelty. Our painters need to paint Our musicians need to play. Our writers need to write. We will outsmart them. You still have a First Amendment right to speak out. Protest. Parade. Find your voice and use it. Show up for your neighbors. But also. remember to breathe This is not about immigration. This is about discrimination. Their goal is to divide us. The only way they can truly succeed is if you let them.

I like the tree on a table, especially with these high ceilings. Also, I like the feeling of sitting under it.

They're back with a big pile of rocks. I think we're about to have a big hole in the street.

See, it's possible to do a perfectly nice cover for your bar special edition without involving James Carville. Bravo!

It's very lazy and untidy "gardening" but my husband's library seeds have some blooms.
