I noticed an elderly woman using a mobility scooter on my bike route was always getting jammed up and walked over and missing her chance at crosswalks. I bought and installed a horn on her handlebars that sounds like a train. I just saw her scare the pants off like six people and then scoot on by! ✌️

My lupines are blooming in spite of drought. I actually had some time to go out and walk around my yard with my camera yesterday. It did me so much good! And today I plan to work at some of the gardening that I’ve neglected for the past week. Yaaay! Therapy!

PW has a little sidebar this week about book bans focusing on nonfiction. And they dropped this little interesting fact: "Of both fiction and nonfiction titles that were removed, 44% were by or about people of color, and 39% were by or about LGBTQ+ individuals— both up from the previous year"

Every once in a while he tells the truth.
