A little sparrow (?) built a nest in a light fixture at my place. She studded it with flowers.

*raises hand* I am confused by this reporting. Is a new engine or cars or just a new wrap? (It appears to be a newish engine by the number, and these things take a long time, so the current administration didn’t order her).

In other Costco news, the sleeves of bagels used to be buy a sleeve of six/get one free. WELL. No more. Now they are sleeve of 8 BUT $4.99 each. This is such a trauma they have an employee on duty going up and down checkout telling people. We are angry but resigned.
