Wading through crowds at the local high end grocery that usually has frozen wild caught salmon available in the off season bagged me about four pounds of sockeye. They'll thaw today, go in the brine overnight tomorrow and get smoked on Wednesday. Ready in time for gifting on Thursday.

Kitchen and dog items have been photographed to put on the buy nothing page. The Buy Nothing page has morphed itself into something else because they stopped being active with the named cause a while back. I have a few friends there or would go see if there is a real Buy Nothing group. And I have the Freecycle site also, though I usually offer the larger items over there.

How is the holiday season shaping up for everyone? Dorothy and Charmion, are you snowed in? If Linn checks in, similar question. Keb, how about you? Is your vehicle registration stuff all squared away, and do you drive in snow? Patty and I will probably deal with drifts of sunshine this week.
