So my youngest got me these simple things. They clip on my glasses. They came in a case and when I first looked at em I said “why would cheap clip on sunglasses come in a case?”
Well as it turns out they are not cheap clip on sunglasses. They help people who can’t see some colors see them. In case you can’t see, there is supposed to be a smile in that pic. I can’t see it, can you?
Anyway for the first time in my life I can see red and green. It’s amazing. I don’t have the words to describe it well but I get more why we like Christmas. It’s kinda of prettier than I thought it was, and I did the Crap Tree for 20 years not knowing how good it really looked.

Found the perfect frame with reddish and black wood to match the painting.
I took the picture from an angle so you can see the molding.

Killdeer are one of my favorite Idaho birds. Can you spot her nest in this picture?
It’s below the bag that I tied onto the fence.
Close up:
Here’s a video when I got too close to her nest (shot from the other side of the fence).

I try to use descriptive, catchy post titles.
Anyway the weather was nice last Sunday so I decided it was time to power wash the deck area and hang up some lights to make the place all cheery and shit.
Before
I know, gross right? Spider webs, bugs, leaves, dirt
After
Much better.
I know all this stuff gets made in China (or somewhere in Asia). Christmas lights are not particularly complex so if there was a manual I ignored it like I do complicated stuff where I really should RTFM but still won’t.
But the vendor in it’s relationship with Amazon insisted that I get this information via the following email, including a an explanation of why these lights might not be exactly the “white warmness” I might have been expecting, AND a warranty and a sincere promise to resolve any customer dissatisfaction accompanied with a plea to please not rat them out on the item page.
I realize their English is much better than my Mandarin but these things are just so fun.
First, an Important notice regarding the warm white color (as advertised)
A friendly greeting, an interesting explanation of why the product might not be exactly what I ordered but yet “It is not wrong item sent if you receive the color difference version”
It is definitely warm white if you compare it with white version, or maybe Slublog.
Then some handy instructions for troubleshooting.
If bulb burns out, replace bulb. It will turn on.
And then a promise to resolve any problem but please don’t bust our balls with bad remark on item page.
They did say please and kindly so were I disappointed with the warmth of whiteness I would reach out to them before posting an irate customer thing. Besides I never do that cause everybody looks like an asshole when they do.
Besides, I think they’re quite warm and I am satisfied.
Thank you, MZD8391 Customer Service Team!

I think Michael would have liked this.
It’s a parody video done by the Norwegian Olympic ski team.

What would we do without professors?
Farmers’ markets are one such environmental improvement that can lead to gentrification, Bosco and Joassart-Marcelli argue, saying farmers’ markets are “exclusionary” since locals may not be able to “afford the food and/or feel excluded from these new spaces.”
These places are literally the cheapest places to buy fresh veg. If you can’t afford them here, you can’t afford them at all. But besides that; many cities provide poor residents with food aid that includes fresh vegetables from places like farmers’ markets.
This social exclusion is reinforced by the “whiteness of farmers’ markets” and the “white habitus” that they can reinforce, the professors elaborate, describing farmers’ markets as “white spaces where the food consumption habits of white people are normalized.”
This is a paradoxical outcome, since farmers’ markets are often established in the interest of fighting so-called “food deserts” in lower-income and minority communities.
There’s no paradox, actually, because the premise is flawed and racist. Actually, it’s okay to ‘normalize’ farm-fresh food consumption habits, regardless of the race of the consumers. Because not eating fresh fruits and vegetables is not normal. Lack of fresh produce in the diet is a key to poor health, and we see these bad health outcomes in statistics on health disparities between rich and poor. Much of these stats are related to poor nutrition in childhood and beyond.
The profs also wrote that 44% of these markets are located in highly-gentrified areas. So…? First of all, businesses need to be within reach of their core customers, or die. If poor urbanites don’t know what to do with vegetables (and they don’t), whose job is that to correct?
Second…what of the remaining 56%?

Do these things annoy you also or is it just me?
Getting change back from a purchase and all the bills are not right side up. (even at the bank)
Hearing people on TV saying Schtrong instead of Strong.
What are some things that bug you?

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
“What I’ve got to do, you can’t be any part of. Ilsa, I’m no good at being noble, but it doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you’ll understand that.”
