Put all your sandwich makers to work making sandwiches until the unordered product is utilized. Put a large sign out in front of your house inviting the entire neighborhood to a picnic. When your neighbors all drift on home, box up any uneaten sandwiches and take them to the food pantry. You'll be pretty popular in your neighborhood!!

Even though my sister and her partner built their own house in Florida. I'm used to a four season year with few hurricanes. This brings back a memory of a story about retiring to Florida. This story is no reflection on Florida as a good place to retire, just a story about something that really happened.In her 80s, my mom moved to Florida with her boyfriend. They lived in an apartment complex. One of her fellow retirees who lived on her own in a neighboring unit, was attacked and beaten in her apartment, then her apartment was set on fire. After a stay in the hospital, she went to stay in the unit with her boyfriend. Unfortunately, her boyfriend was around ninety and died shortly after she was released from the hospital. The boyfriend lived in a unit with other family members who didn't want this lady there any more.

(I'm tired of depressing topics on Answermug.)Recent flashback: I was six when the Korean War (conflict actually, there was no war declared) began. Whenever my sister, brother, or myself asked our parents why we couldn't have... or why we didn't do... My father had a pat answer, "There's a war on!" Somewhere during this period, I learned to read. One day I was looking at the newspaper and on the front page, the headline read something like "Armistice Signed", "the war is over", so I was surprised when my father answered with the usual "There's a war on!" I decided that I'd better update him with the information in the newspaper. He was speechless. I don't know whether he was more shocked by my "back talk" or amazed by my knowledge, but he could never use that line again.  less

I just watched the owner (?) check/refill the stations. Most of the wildlife comes out at night (Poland time) but it's quite well lit at night. I consider the person who set up and maintains this as either rich or just generous based on the quality of the foods he leaves.12/20/22 at 18:57 (Poland time), a man came into frame carrying a bag, about the size of a full pillowcase, and dumped the contents into the two wooden boxes located behind the fountain. He then walked out of frame. At 19:02, a group of 6 or 7 wild pigs dove in.  This illustrates just how generous this person is. Today it looks so nice with the fresh fallen snow.https://worldcams.tv/poland/zywiec-lake/bird-feederPS: The Decorah eagles will be laying their eggs soon. https://www.raptorresource.org/birdcams/decorah-north-nest/  less
