Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

While out grabbing herbs, I took a pic of my newly planted Erigeron glaucus. I have a good feeling about this one handling my no water garden. #bloomscrolling 🌱

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

As today is Thanksgiving here in the US it is constitutionally mandated that you listen to Arlo Guthrie’s “Alice's Restaurant Massacree” at least once.

William Shatner played Mark Twain in an episode. I love this show, though I am a couple seasons behind as I am in the US.
best we've got right now is Murdoch Mysteries, a detective show set in late 1800's Toronto, where the lead characters regularly invent modern technology by accident. Detective Murdoch created the Roomba. Tatiana Maslany's brother plays a gay jewish cop. It's incredible.
