MaJoC at most I would like to draw targets on a number of individuals, that's about it. Lead poisoning couldn't happen to more deserving schmucks.

This morning I exchanged two jars of mustang grape juice and two jars of strawberry juice to a former (fired last week) federal employee in my FB buy nothing group. We had a quick conversation on the chilly porch. She just finished her MSW at my university and said she was thinking of applying to teach there. My opinion is that isn't the best choice, adjunct work is poorly paid and they overload them, but regular state jobs at the university in any department is a better bet. I told her that's how I ended up in my job, instead of teaching at the university I stayed in the staff position. Excellent networking, and she's made enough jelly and done canning to know why the jar exchange was a condition of the offer. Said she'll make strawberry jelly this afternoon.

Already having those four jars of juice out of the freezer means I could put a bag of frozen blueberries in the door shelf. I hope to give away four more, and I'll keep three and make a batch of jelly later for gifts.

Taking a couple of t-shirts to a friend I haven't seen in ages as we meet for lunch at a restaurant that probably needs to come off of my list of acceptable places. They're on the list of companies that capitulated to the dump DEI policies of the current regime.
