🍄🍄🍄I bought mushrooms from the store last week. Not only are they packaged in plastic, they taste like STYROFOAM. They better have mushrooms at the farmers market tomorrow!🍄🍄🍄
Another day, another advertisement in my mailbox📬 for cable TV and home internet.💻📺🔌 Only $100 a month it proclaim. 💰💰💰💰💰💰In the words of their advertising, our monopoly business is so cheap and wonderful! But rarely do I have $100 unspent in my budget each month.💵 I don’t want to piss the remaining money away.💦
Even if I wasn’t poor, a made a million dollars a year, I doubt I could ever afford to own a TV or have Internet at home. It’s just too expensive.💲💲💲 I had an HDTV tuner for two years which broke after a while. I hated watching television, except for PBS Newshour and lately all that show became was an hour of advocating for gun control and hatred of the president. 🔇
Rather than make an awful multinational utility monopoly richer, I’d much rather give my $100 a month to something worthwhile like a charitable organization like a land conservancy or a conservation group.🌳🌻🐞
It was nice getting that thank you call today from the Hudson Mohawk Land Conservancy🌲 for my Christmas donation🎄 to them in the behalf of my parents. I just hate material stuff and traditional Christmas gift giving. 🎁Much rather just donate to charity, especially a good local charity.
"For years, Manlius resident Harold Jones admired the staggering beauty of the two-tiered waterfalls at Delphi Falls in Madison County."
"When Jones saw the 60-acre property off Cardner Road - which includes the waterfalls, land and a home on the property - were for sale, he was instantly intrigued."
"I just couldn't resist,'' said Jones, 77, a retired Syracuse University Spanish professor. "They have to be the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen."
"Jones said he worried the waterfall, land and home on the property might get sold to another private individual. He wanted the chance to turn it into a public nature preserve so that everyone could enjoy the area, he said."

I’m tired of scraping my windshield so I’m trying out putting an old tarp over the windshield to try to make it easier to clean off with less ice. 🚘❄Not sure how well it will work, it might freeze to the truck or rip, but that’s why I am using an old tarp. It was such a pain to clean off the windshield with the ice the other day, so hopefully this will work. I’m one for experimentation. The tarp is loosely put over the truck to avoid sticking and held down to ground using bottles of windshield washer fluid and antifreeze. It either will work or not. Worth a try.
After so many relatively mild winters, this seems like the first big one in years. Maybe not that terrible but it seems like most of this winter has been cold and snowy. ❄❄❄❄
