Worst Hard Time- A Review
The Worst Hard Time- A Book Review The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan published in 2021 is about the settlement and abuse of the High Plains and those who remained there during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. My favorite person was Dan Hartwell and his diary. It made everything more personal and real. The images draw in my head around the description of Black Sunday will not soon be forgotten. In the end this is a story about man’s hubris, but it’s also about hope and courage. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interest in 20th century U.S. history and especially the Great Depression.
RIP James Earl Carter: 39th President and more importantly a humanitarian for his work with Habitat for Humanity.
I love pink grapefruit in the winter it reminds me of warmer weather. Although I am missing some plain skyr yogurt to put over it
This simple letter and the story behind it has to be one of my favorite Christmas tales. Yes Virginia There is a Santa Claus I think the though behind it is even more relevant today than it was then. I hope that all who celebrate it have a very Merry Christmas.
I made some homemade fudge today using the recipe on the back of the Fluff Jar. I used dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet and added peanuts. My cutting leaves something to be desired but it tastes good.
You know how you know you hit the wrong button on a website? It’s when you get five emails in one day from the My Pillow guy.
I do not like this latest trend of audio podcasts doing a video version also and treating the audio version as a second-class citizen. Pretend I cannot see what you are doing or holding up because I can’t.
Even Ageless Wonders Age
Even Ageless Wonders Age
The one thing that this year in sports is proving is that everyone ages, even Aaron Rodgers and Lebron James. Aaron Rodgers especially has shown the progress of age. His play this year has not been up to the standards people expect of him. He is not moving around as well as he use to and I don't think he is see the field like he use to. Now people are talking that Lebron James is starting to show his age. LeBron James, mired in shooting slump, is finally showing real signs of decline as he nears his 40th birthday The legs go first as you age and based his shooting, I think his legs are starting to go. It could just be a regular slump and I could be wrong of course, but I don't think so
Watching and enjoying the new Matlock series,
I have decided that I would much rather rearrange or mess with my task manager app than actually do the tasks I am trying to manage
Making Toast Should be Easy
I have an old toaster oven. When you are toasting something, it makes a clicking noise as the timer goes down. Because the number of appliances we have is greater than the number of outlets, the toaster oven often gets unplugged. Unfortunately, the toaster oven makes the clicking noise whether the toaster is plugged in or not. So this morning, I put some bread in the toaster, set the timer, and walked away. After waiting for a while, I thought, “Um, I should have heard the timer by now.” I walked out to the kitchen and looked at the toaster and then looked at the empty outlet and sighed.
