What jerk decided we should go shopping this afternoon?
Me. The jerk was me. Changing plans because my heating pad and bed seem like better choice than losing my temper in a bookstore.

There’s a bunch of gift tags hung up at church where you can buy a gift for someone and at least three girls requested what looks to say “Riley All 4” and we cannot figure out what that is.
Google is no help.
Any ideas?

The reason they don't occur on the solstice is due to the shifting of solar noon and the equation of time.
We are moving faster around the sun this time of year since we are closer (near perihelion). This shifts the timing of the sun's high point (solar noon) forward a little each day.

My seasonal reminder that you are probably worse at driving in the snow than you think you are, four wheel drive isn’t a panacea, and your pick up truck is garbage in the snow regardless of how much money you’ve spent on it.
Don’t drive unless you absolutely have to. Saw multiple cars spin out on this stretch of Cherry plus these two stuck buses

Court settlement with Anthropic AI for stealing my book (which took 4 yrs to research/write) + hundreds of thousands of others is done, at $1.5bn.
Works out to about $3k per book impacted, to be split among author(s) and publisher.
Not a lot of money per author, but I hope that dollar figure hurts.

The thread reminds me of the “tennis coach” (IYKYK) who said he was barely making ends meet after he pays for a huge pile of expenses.
If your wage leads to a "tight" budget that still allows you to live in a "well-off Boston suburb" it is not poverty.
