That's a tall order! I'm always afraid to recommend music that the listener won't like. Would you like only music in english? Modern? Folk/no folk? Instrumental?

Ha! You & me both. I used to garden the way some people do crossfit, but I haven't in a few years, and this autumn decided to plant grass in part of my backyard. You know: weeding, turning the soil, leveling, seeding, covering, and inventing ways to impede the cat digging the soil. I'm broken now.

A gardener cleans a pond in a public park of Guilin, China. The person squats over a low stone wall that divides the pond, using a long tool and wearing a hat that hides their face. There is plenty of green vegetation nearby, as well as some plants floating on the water.

It is. I was briefly at the reservation in 2019, and found the organization sometime later. I'm not the biggest supporter of the Catholic Church (they have a very checkered past), but they made amends for their sins, so to speak, with this school.

I bought this online, but it might be broken. It moves a little and then goes back to the position shown. Sometimes it makes loud noises. Should I return it?

You gotta trust the process. Those "errors" have a purpose. If you don't detect them and rush in to try to fix the problem then you are truly a good mark, and you'll get the scammers' undivided attention.

That said, thanks, but the scammers have decided to go with another candidate. Best of luck! 😃

Looks beautiful. Do you eat it as finger food? For me, autumn foods are more about soups and stews (with squash or pumpkin if I have them).

Not my week for proof-reading. Sunrise --> sunset.

The sun dips below the horizon in Chicago. Autumn is well underway, and the daylight will become shorter and shorter, until sunrises arrive about 4:20 pm. This is a photo of the reflection on the side rearview mirror of a car, and it shows a street in the city, with cars, utility poles and traffic lights.

Today we commemorate Indigenous Peoples' Day. Many Native American communities live in poverty, with a lack of jobs and education opportunities, due to USA policies since the 1870s. I have been contributing to Maȟpíya Lúta in the Pine Ridge Reservation, SD, for a while now. Please check them out.
