Voting on my absentee ballot here in red state Ohio: there's state bonds for infrastructure, a municipal income tax and a school levy. These did poorly before Trump, but now is different: Red voters LOVE taxes as long as the rich aren't impacted (even if you have to call them tariffs). They'll pass

Looking forward to this year's mandatory OPSEC refresher course. I need clarification about when posting classified info in group chats, do I then say "It wasn't classified" and follow up with "Everyone makes mistakes, let's just move on."

Listening to one of the lot of LPs that I ordered off eBay. It took two weeks to arrive as the USPS was bouncing it between Massachusetts and Indiana a couple times prior to arriving. First up is Franz Schmidt Organ Works, Kurt Rapf organist, MHS 3767, recorded in the early seventies.

A few moments of Senior Confusion this morning as I checked my phone time before napping then woke up to read an un-DST-adjusted wall clock. "I napped 10 minutes? That seemed like an hour!"

Made it to Friday, so I bought a treat: Lot of 25 classical vinyl albums from eBay. Used and with scratches, but with full liner notes and even jotted notations. If a track is particularly scratchy, it was very meaningful to the previous owner and I listen more carefully.

Son and I went to an international market yesterday and he purchased an expensive ($14 for < half pound) piece of Red Leicester cheese. I'm devastated that I tried a piece this morning and it was SUPER DELICIOUS. Reminded me of a very sharp cheddar with a savory port wine cheese aftertaste.

Made veg biryani using the yogurt I made Sunday, good except need to drain the rice a little better next time. Used a commercial spice mix. I should be able to make my own biryani masala soon. Also made naan and used the remainder of the yogurt for raita. All pretty good but room to improve.

At this time of 62 years on earth with over half of those married (to the same woman as dad used to say), I hinted I like cheese better than chocolate in case anyone was buying any food items to commemorate Friday. I'm grateful for whatever I get but some gouda just hits better than Hershey's.

My take, essentially, is that we could be weeks or maybe even days away from the disintegration of the rule of federal law in this country. At some point this administration is going to stop obeying court orders. What then? Nothing good.

about 1 liter of yogurt draining through cheesecloth in the fridge. Goal: Make some veg biryani and raita for dinner Tuesday.
