Oh great 🫤 someone in the neighborhood taught one of the young grey squirrels to knock on their front door, and now that squirrel has decided that everyone's door is fair game. I gave 'em an angry hiss and a broom to their fast-fading butt. Hopefully that stops this trick in its tracks!

Canadians, politely "rioting" post-Jay's winning ACLS. ;)
At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.

#PeakMinnesota: young, early-20's man in line ahead of me at Target paid for the items being purchased by a stressed-out looking woman in her mid-40's after her bank card was declined, her alternate credit card wasn't one they accepted, and she only had half the amount in ready cash.

French onion soup in a loaf! My freshly made #sourdough onion-garlic scape #bread. It smells exactly like French onion soup, and will taste equally well with a slice of Gruyere or Emmental cheese melted on top. Can't wait to dig in! #homemade #foodie

Scored a signed hardcover copy of the last book in a series by one of my favorite authors at Half Price books! Especially sweet since I wanted to go to this signing but was out of town the one time she actually came here. #CatrionaMcPherson #DandyGilver #UKMysteries #HardcoverBooks

Ravensburger's 1993 puzzle "Men Walk on the Moon". I bought this one new and carried it around from house to house, State to State, through many moves and finally opened it and put it together this week! It was a lovely experience and I should've done it sooner. #Nasa #Ravensburger #Puzzles #Moon
