Fixated on fire
On my tablets, the “thumbs up” emoji is MIA. Does a “happy face” make a suitable subsitute? Another of life’s little mysteries.

Tracks in the snow? What snow?
For those of you that enjoy late night comedy, here’s a request. The next time there’s a joke about “the cheque is in the mail”, don’t laugh. The scenario is not that funny, if you are a transactional party. That’s all.

Guess who is (coming to) dinner
Context. At one point in my life, I used to explain problematic vocabulary to ESL (English as a Second Language) students. So many words, so little time. Often the explanation for a given word proved worthless, but it did send us off in interesting directions for discussion.

So, do you echolocate?
Please don’t judge us harshly. The year of ’22 was one where we just didn’t get much camping in. and with that, very little outdoor cuisine. The BBQ became home to a village of wasps, and my tank of propane is still full. No matter. I have good intentions going forward.

Over at the Shady Tree
As someone that no longer drives a car, and that does not own something that is apt to pass you on the highway, I am excluding myself from a particular class: the clients of the Shady Tree Garage. You know who you are.

Not brave enough to forage
Heard while watching others: “There are mushrooms, absolutely everywhere. It’s mad!”. Well, I won’t argue with that. This coming from someone that has never foraged (if you can’t tell the colour, you may die). Watch a person, filled wit confidence, collect bushel baskets of mystery to make suop, dehyrate and trade with friends is also mad. My opinion, clearly. To be clear, my mushrooms come packaged in clear plastic, with a blue box beneath. Not poisoned yet.

What colour? Wgatever
The web is pushy. That’s my take on information bulletins (think weather forecasts). Right now, my world has moved from yellow to red, as we prepare for a winter storm. The usual mix of snow and high winds, which tends to get drifty around here. Although my antenna work is on hold (a polite way of saying I am too lazy for my own good), I did get outside and find the various antenna assempblies. Eventually, I will push myself to a logical conclusion.
