Well drat. I guess I am going to be transitioning over to my alternate account at cobalt (npub1phd…vvzc)

To be exporting posts I hate to lose 2 years, transfer followers, and retain those I follow. Got 6 weeks to do this, so probably no big push. My thanks to awscommunity.social for allowing me to join quickly just as the first big Twitter Migration was getting going a few years ago. I had had an account since '17 but that original instance closed a few days after I came back! #Migration

Oh my I clicked that link in Internet archive and remembered I joined. Very cool to see! Then did a search inside and found 285 results there. I bet some of these available books and articles would be worth viewing.

I promised to post a link to the "Amazingly Good Eggnog" recipes IF it turned out: it DID! So, 4/4 taste testers agree it's far better than any store-bought. It doesn't make as much as you think--maybe 8 mugs to serve, unless you add the 1 1/2 cups liquor, ha ha! Ours is for family so it's virgin. Worth the time, not hard to make, and yes, it's worth waiting the 24 hours. Maybe a little taste at 9 hours like we did. If you have any ?, just ask.

Sigh.
Guess we will all find out how this “education” works out in about 5 years. Go Florida.

Anyone recall I was complaining of coffee oil stains on my percolator? Ran down some rabbit holes from tips shared. Bottle Bright turns out to have sodium percarbonate a main ingredient and whoa—that’s what makes OxiClean work so well. 1st photo the bottom of filter basket AFTER I washed. 2nd photo is after I put a bit of OxiClean as paste for 10 minutes then washed. Learned so much about my 3 fave cleaners! Comment has a link. #OxiClean #SodiumPercarbonate #Coffee #StainlessSteel

Daily getting about 2 notifications someone wants me to approve as following me. But all have in common no posts, no bio, generic photo. Surprised since I put “request follow” lock on my account. Anyone else?

The following part of Mencken's editorial is also enlightening:

"when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum."

Guys, I’m really worried about Buddy. About an hour ago he began acting very odd and flinches if you touch him. He seems barely breathing. Ahmed got him on the couch on a towel. We are going to watch over him, that’s all I know to do. This likely started about 2-3 hours ago since he was last moving around.

So glad to know this and that there are cities that actually think about the needs of people. Here in Phoenix it is becoming rare to see a bench or any kind of seating area. It's all been taken away or modify to make sure a person cannot lie down on it. Specifically homeless people.

Just in case your Monday caffeine has worn off this afternoon, had a vivid photo I shot in that same alley as all the others recently, Flagstaff Arizona. I really like the composition made by the rectangles of electrical boxes and the attempts at covering graffiti with neutral paint. #Red #Flagstaff #FlagstaffAZ BTW, it is 113º today in Phoenix. So very tired of this "summer" that doesn't end already.

I just watched this for an hour! Pretty entertaining. I have a good sense of what’s happening because I lived thru a hurricane with the eye going right across our home in Beaumont. There are also tornadoes that can come along with the hurricane. Pretty intense.
