    BTW, my car in my name gets here Thursday and I become liquid to a modest extent in my own right on the same day. I had a dream my bank account will have as much money as it's had in 40 years. I'll be moving asap if not before the month is out (well could be) then probably no later than the first week of next month. I've felt stressed and exhausted but I shouldn't let it affect my mood. So today I'm doing anything I want and if I don't want to do it I'm not doing it.

    By the way, i I checked the photos I have but I couldn’t find a photo of my grandma’s basement kitchen. I’m going to ask my aunt. If nothing else I’d like to confirm my memory of it.

    Nice. I'm sure there's a US equivalent of this maker for Daniel to drool over: https://blackwoodandlocke.co.uk/gun-cabinets/

    Started Dan Mason's The Piano Tuner. Mason is a story teller, and seems to be a good one so far.

    We thought in the '80's (and the early to mid-80's and beyond were more like the '50's than the present times, and there was the AIDS epidemic that was hardly understood at all, too) that commerce (capitalism) was the reason we were moving forward. Everyone's money is green. I still think that there was a lot of truth in it.

    Very inviting home. I think my favorite part is the barn! My idea of the ideal living space. And of course the gardens. [image: Screenshot%202025-10-06%20at%2011.32.30.png] I've always wanted a summerhouse/gazebo. I guess a gazebo is the open style? I actually looked into building one from this company that we first encountered up in Wisconsin. One of the enclosed ones rather than the open style. Octagonal is sweet but rectangular is easier to furnish. https://www.gggazebos.com/our-gazebos

    Cosmo just came over our fence last summer while we were having a family gathering, just maybe 10 weeks old and playful as all get out. She'll turn a year Monday (as near as we can tell - we just decided our anniversary would be her birthday). She's my cat and constant companion.

    The traffic is one reason we're not keen to see them move here; we live in the burbs because we aren't fans of crowds. And the disruption in terms of infrastructure improvements will be a nightmare. Mostly, though, we don't want our taxes to go up just to make the Halases and the McCaskeys richer.

    She doesn't have any journalistic integrity. What she does have is a loyalty to Zionism and to the founder of Oracle, the man who bought and paid for her.

    So, apparently Tulsi is telling [some] tales out of school. Nothing about a book or anything like that. I can't predict what she'll say or do in the future. I'm not trying to keep up with what she's saying because I have a lot to do now. I'm not trying to flippant. Also, I don't know what could interest me (or not) in the future. I'm not feeling any kind of way about it.

    Parenthetically, I bought a car, funded an investment account with a practical amount of money for which my trustee has no fiduciary duty, and bought a place with a handshake today. It still has to be paid for and close. Lol. My car is being delivered next week with a plate that makes it legal to drive in FL for 30 days. I'm giving my trustee a well earned time off until my car arrives and my funds are available in my investment account. Life is moving forward!
