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.

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.

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.

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