  • Bought some handmade Christmas ornaments at a locally owned gift shop and some jewelry at a locally owned thrift shop. Some for me, some for gifts. Nothing was on sale, I was just showing some visiting family what a cute little town I live in.

    Oh, and we bought brunch at a locally owned brunch place. The protesters on the freeway overpass have been telling me to Boycott Big Business and Buy Local for about a week now, so I did as I was told.













  • I take one of two routes for an evening walk almost every day. It’s never occurred to me to listen to music or anything else while I do.

    I live in a rural area with nice scenery. If you pay attention, it is different every day. Something new is starting to grow/bloom/die back, new birds have arrived or departed, the clouds are different, the air feels different, neighbors sheep are being silly in a different way.

    I go specifically at sunset, so I find that very stimulating and no two sunsets are the same. I think about my day, my plans, goals, etc. It’s peaceful.




  • I am the same, but it can be problematic. I was at a wedding recently and drunkenly stumbled into a group of (white) people having a conversation about gun rights and how if they killed someone in self defense and there was a single person of color (not the word they used) on the jury they would be found guilty of murder.

    I innocently assumed they were normal folks who were just a bit confused and began trying to enlighten them. It was not received well.
