BTW I am still getting emails from Venmo and phony Venmo telling me that my account has been compromised and giving me lots of links to click.....which I never do.

And then I got an email from Venmo telling me that a transaction didn't go through and called me by a name I had never heard of.....I still didn't click.

After all of these emails, I always check my bank account online and nothing seems to be amiss.

MR BK I do not think you should abandon the contemplation on NYE.

It is a tradition that should be continued lest you mess with the universe.

I'm up, I'm up - a bit over eight hours of sleep.

I'm glad nothing is amiss.

It's unusual to see an obituary in the Times Dining section.

The chef who popularized avocado toast passed away.

That's a relief. Did the email address the emails are coming from look legitimate?

I had no idea a certain chef popularized it.

I hadn't known that, either!

Isn't there an expression like "Why don't you put it where the sun don't shine?"

Bill Granger, won't you please come home?

Sure wish I had a slice of carrot bread.

Slathered in butter.

Up from a nap.

Winter walk.

Glow Bowl - I think Notre Dame and Ohio State are playing football there on Monday.

That's a nice painting DR singdaw.

Actually, Ohio State played like c#$p in the Cotton Bowl last night. Buckeye Nation wants the coach’s head.

That is pretty. It also makes me miss my walks with my dogs.

The cedar pollen is too heavy for me to take a walk without a face mask. Ugh.

I did go into the backyard earlier to water and appreciate the garden. Dozens of rose blooms are coming the bushes. The bougainvillea is deep red. The salvia has some purple. The pansies are multicolored, mostly purple or purple and white.

John G. · « **Reply #146 on:** December 30, 2023, 02:36:42 PM »

And the thermometer got up to 71.

John G. · « **Reply #147 on:** December 30, 2023, 02:37:35 PM »

It’s looks gorgeous and feels great in the sun, but the air is actually toxic.

John G. · « **Reply #148 on:** December 30, 2023, 02:37:49 PM »

Sad.

John G. · « **Reply #149 on:** December 30, 2023, 02:37:57 PM »
