Thank you!

Like the name/artist, where you got it… so I can go find it?

Would you share the pattern?

My goodness, this is gorgeous!

Even within the US we don’t share one monolithic culture. Moving several times from one place to another within a region and to other regions within the US brought this home to me. Communication styles vary greatly, for instance.

Why you will not build this? :}

Baked the pumpkin scones yesterday and enjoying the leftovers today. They came out ugly but tasty. Perfect pumpkin flavor.

“protecting the people who live here.” Whoo-boy.

Want crisp pumpkin seeds?

Rinse the seeds.

Spread them on parchment paper on a baking tray and a) let them dry over night or b) set them in the oven on 180-200F for an hour to dry out (may take longer)

Once dry, coat them lightly with olive oil and season

Back in the oven at 350F for 15min

Taxes can be more equitable, egalitarian, and more productive of the general welfare. I suspect the share taking / profit sharing plan promotes and protects the wealthiest at the expense of the whole.

Insiders to the planned “taking” of shares could profit, too (illegally, corruptly). Businesses benefit from knowing gov has an interest in their profits & continued existence, plus policies that lower their taxes. Taxes don’t directly help individual businesses in the same way.

He walks like he’s in pain. The heavy “clunk” into that right hip. Ouch.

“He is the product of patrons: a creature of Peter Thiel’s billions and Donald Trump’s powerful hold on the Republican base.” A menacing truth.
