With the Florida temperatures fixed on “broil”, springs, such as Poe Springs, are one of the only places to enjoy the outdoors comfortably.

I love the Florida springs ❤️

As a Gen Xer, the“homeskillet” made me choke on my coffee 🤣…I’m dying (unaliving?). IDK, I guess I’m just not cool enough to keep up with the lingo

However, I do agree that it has a lot to do with censorship of certain words/topics, which is very Orwellian and equally disconcerting to this Gen Xer.

Sometimes I long for the feeling I had as a child when I wanted to learn something new. No internet, just the anticipation of going to the library to find books I knew I had to take home.

I loved those books, every one of them… even the ones I never got to read. ❤️📚📖

I remember stores being closed on Sundays.

I remember waiting for the DJ to STFU before I dubbed off the radio.

I remember talking to people face to face.

I remember real music with real bands.

I remember comedy.

I remember running to answer a ringing phone.

I am Generation X.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced Friday -- just one day after a major Senate appropriations bill omitted funding for the nonprofit that funds public media -- that it will be shutting down.

Thank you, Betsy! I’m just foundering around trying to get the hang of how things work, lol. Feeds are a bit confusing for me, trying to figure out how to follow hashtags/subjects of interest, at the moment.

Putting the finishing touches on some carved teapots today. Now that we've had some rain and the fire ban is over I expect to light up the wood kiln within the next few weeks. Hooray hooray!
