Smoothie time.

Happy Don’t Step on a Bee Day

Oh well. No doughnuts today. I thought I had enough vegetable shortening. I don’t. Not worth doing a grocery run just to get that. This weekend was not meant to be.

Whenever I make doughnuts, they come out edible.

Yup. I’m going to have a go at making doughnuts tomorrow. It’s easier than traveling an hour or two to buy them.

So has anyone actually given someone a hotfoot you were young?

Seriously, this is a good time to thank all of you who do and have put up with me. I mean it. You rock.

I’m very old-school. I prefer my books crinkly. Audio books aren’t really books. They are audio readings/plays, based on books. Ebooks, are closer to books, but they are digital media. Fight me. Claiming these are “books” is like saying movies are books. #books

Just bought a Python book I don’t need. Tsundoku + 1 #books

“A shot rang out. Yes, it’s cliche. But the bullet struck the church bell. What wasn’t cliche was the bell, precariously hung, clattered with a clang to kill a passerby thus saving the world.” #writing #throwawayline

US gasoline/petrol prices are dropping. Media isn’t covering it the way they covered the rise in prices. Alarmists, all. #media #failure

No one needs to pray the way you do. No one needs to pray, if they so choose. No one should hold your belief systems against you, unless you turn belief into action. #life #freedom #religion

I’m just mind-dumping today. Need to have room for useful stuff.
