I'm finding strong vinegar to be a tolerable compromise for when my back is not up to pulling weeds. It only kills what's on the surface, and doesn't last all that long, but it also doesn't poison the entire area and give everyone cancer, either.

I can only conclude that people who still wear perfume in the 21st century have had so many covid infections that they aren't aware of what perfume smells like.

With the proliferation of GPS and built-in spyware that reports back to the dealer and insurance, I'm honestly surprised they don't just use that to auto-generate tickets. It's far more profitable to fine people than prevent crime.

Toronto tried putting in a bunch of speed cameras. The locals cut them down. And they kept cutting them down every time they were replaced. Nobody ratted the perpetrators out. After like a year or two of this, they're finally giving up and removing them all.

25AQI. This might be the cleanest air I've ever seen in Phoenix. Of course, it's also 88% humidity and we have a koi pond in the back yard, so it's not like I'm going to open up all the doors and windows to air out the house.
