My grocery store these days

Egg prices: I bought a dozen eggs the other day for 45 cents. Yes, you heard me. Their “best by” date was the next day. Made a nice frittata. Today bought 18 eggs for 1.99. A dozen was still the regular 3.50. Whaaaat? Is the egg cartel dumping eggs to support the next guy?

@bluejo.bsky.social I’m reading the small change series and OMG. Finished Farthing and Ha’Penney and just started on Half a Crown. It helps I love the British novels that were part of your inspiration but the creeping fascism! So unreal but so real these days.

My Christmas tree this year (I had to trim some trees anyway).

Does anyone’s dog want a full production of “suppertime” from the peanuts musical before he will eat? Just kidding. I finally convinced to delay suppertime after the end of daylight savings and played it myself.

Okay, I’m still on Xwitter just because I refuse to update my app and it still appears as a blue bird. I do it so I can notice when the people I follow move to Bluesky. Tried Mastadon. .???

I am rearranging my Patreon. I have a finite budget to say the least. The first person I supported on Patreon was trying to quit her day job. Since then she’s won multiple Hugo and Nebula awards. I shifted my support to others at her encouragement. Do support creators though.

Contemplating

Was loading groceries into the car, looked up and said “Wow”. If you want the rainbow, you must have the rain. (Annette Hanshaw, 1928). It was a double rainbow.
