Art items dropped off during my donation appointment and while I was in the front shop (their fund-raiser area) I noticed a number of lengths of cloths for sale in a bin - that is easily how some of what I dropped off could be used if they don't actually put it in the warehouse for teachers. These items will be used one way or another. I added more of my surplus stuff to one of the boxes at the last minute.

Tonight while changing my bed linens I told the new Echo Dot to play MSNBC on SiriusXM. To my surprise, what came across that small speaker is that someone took a shot and nicked Trump. I've had the news off all day, so I was hearing this some hours after the event. I still think I'll listen to less news, it is generally repetitive and the next 24-48 hours even moreso. Meanwhile, the linens are changed, I've had a shower, a load of laundry is in the washer and I'll program it to wash during the wee hours when there is less demand on the power grid.

An online viewing discovery today is a YouTube account called "Midlife Stockman" who seems to do transformations on vacant lots, school bus stops, abandoned sidewalks, abandoned houses, etc. He puts in a LOT of manual labor and uses a time-lapse camera and drones to document it. Makes me think the changes of a good landscape refresh would be a nice thing to do in my yard. He has some great tools (including a Stihl Battery-Operated Cordless Pruning Saw to die for). He appears to be working in a northern tier state to do this all day long, I'd have to be out at 5am to start work here and stop before 9am.
