Keep an eye out for openings on your local planning and zoning boards as well. Many of them are appointed and have trouble finding enough volunteers to fill the seats! 🇺🇸

This is funny, because when I got home and saw the box, my first reaction was “bummer, apple.” Then I cut into one and was thrilled to see it was raspberry.

This has been our house go-to marinara for years. Last week Sprouts had an insane 99-cent sale on Rao's jarred sauce, so we tried it. It was meh compared to this. For the cost of a can of crushed tomatoes and 5 minutes of prep/20 minutes of simmer, this sauce just can't be beat.

DYK that HART route 1 picks up and drops off less than a 5-minute walk from the Straz and is FREE through Jan. 2026? www.hillsboroughschools.org/cms/lib/FL50...

Interesting, we built this road for cars, but hardly anybody uses it. Clearly, this is a waste of taxpayer money. Funny how the same logic gets thrown at bike lanes, ignoring how their lack of safety and poor design often keep people from using them.

OMG. Listening to people get on the bus and find out it’s fare-free for the whole year is the best. The whole bus is talking about it, and I just can’t stop smiling!

Could not wait until tomorrow! We’re taking the new FARE-FREE Route 1 bus to Sprouts for a few groceries.

🌱 Saw what looked like a sweet potato sticking out of the ground in the area we grew them this summer. Turns out when we harvested them in November we missed a few! #zone10a

I read more books last year than I have in over a decade. I started reading again toward the end of 2023 and created a modest goal of reading 15 books in 2024. I got through that by March, and ended up finishing 66 books. These are my stats, courtesy of @thestorygraph.com.

Got too many old towels? Cut them up into smaller (around 12”x12” size) pieces and place in a basket in the kitchen. They’ve replaced paper towels for almost everything and can be added to any load of laundry. It takes about 3 months for us to go through a roll of paper towels now.

Started 2025 in the best way—on bikes with friends. Went down to The Nosey Goat, the new coffee spot that replaced the Cass Street Caffeine. Pastries were delicious. Weather for the ride couldn’t have been better—67 and sunny!

This is what we need to be talking about in Tampa after Hurricanes Helene and Milton. But, somehow, we aren’t. Instead, we’re talking about resiliency and sustainability. We need to start the conversation with should we?
