"Missie Lain Eus"

Some photos that just wanted to be shared...for no particular reason!

Gnomes to greet sick people

A fabric remnant to share cheer!

Neighborhood's latest house is almost finished.

One day when my laptop wouldn't open a link from Facebook, this greeted me. Fortunately after a reboot, it was gone. Whew.

Matt Morris in Waterloo Canada thought Easter Island sculptures were the thing to do.

A chart of all the ages...literally. So you have reference to the eons of time. Or eras perhaps.

With the low angle of the sun reflecting off the opposite wall, I suddenly saw all this black stuff growing in the louvers of the mini-split heating unit. The maintenance man has cleaned out the inside, and we both keep the filters clean, but I'm responsible to clean this outside area. So I got my rubber gloves, put cardboard on the carpet underneath, took off my slacks so I wouldn't splatter on them, got a bowl of 20% bleach solution and a little rag, and bent over (wearing a mask too) and went at the mold!

It's not perfect, but at least most of it is gone. Whew! Didn't have that planned for the day!

UPSETTING:

Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, saying in a post on X Wednesday that he was "ashamed" of presidents of Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania for their response to antisemitism on campus. The university leaders were criticized following their testimony at a House hearing this week. In their remarks, none explicitly said that calling for the genocide of Jews would necessarily violate their code of conduct. Instead, they explained it would depend on the circumstances.

I was glad to hear the congresswoman say back to them on the Thursday evening news "you should all be fired for not saying any of that was intolerable conduct!

On a brighter note:

Today's quote:

Life is a gift that is given and will be taken. How we choose to spend our time here is our gift to life. It is our way of saying “thank you life” for the gift.
