My grandparent’s had that same uranium glass set. They used one of the ones with a lid as a candy dish. I haven’t thought about that in close to 40 years.

Forest fire season starts in late June/early July and ends sometime around now. It stops if you’re lucky anyway; some of the Canadian 2023 fires are still smouldering.
Glad I’m not the only one pessimating that.
Without the Columbia, the Idaho port city of Lewiston is doomed. Just in case anyone needed a silver lining.
I run POP_OS, so I have to depend on Steam updates to randomly turn my laptop into a jet engine.
Yeah, I live in a area of the country where (only since 2020) we can expect long stretches of days where the sky is orange and the AQI is 300+. Climate change has made sure the toxic fumes are for everyone!

When I was a tween-teen my mom and I would thoroughly decorate our front yard and porch every year (for 5 or 6 years running) as a mini-haunted house. A lot of homemade decorations including a coffin my grandfather built for us. Then Halloween night I’d be in the coffin (which was on our porch) and she’d be there tending her cauldron or whatever worked for costume that year. When kids would come to the house she’d lift the coffin lid and I’d be in there with the bucket of candy. There was spooky music / sound effects, and some gloomy lighting. It was a mildly spooky vibe.
Very little kids (3 or 4) were often too scared to come up to the house and so one of the adults would have to come get their candy for them. I remember that, the last year we ended up doing it, one of the parents came up afterward and told us that their kid had been too scared to come up the year before and they talked about seeing “what was up there” on-and-off all year. And that year there were very proud to have gotten their own candy.
It’s fun to think that my mom and I are part of that family’s holiday memories.
I had a HS science teachers in the early 90s who was very insistent that, “day-ta is a name, dah-ta is information.” And between Star Trek and The Goonies, that made sense to me.
Alternatively you could buy from a dollar store where it’s 12 times the price but in a smaller package so it seems cheaper.
You know if a candy line has a fruit punch flavor you’re in for an iffy time.
If they’re taking Moo Ding anywhere, I hope it’s on a trip to meet Pesto the giant penguin chick. And I hope they decide to make a buddy cop style movie together.
My wife and I contribute to a few local organizations on a regular basis. They all offer donations on their websites. There’s a clinic we donate to. The shelters where we got our cats get regular small donations. We also donate to the local food panty plus warming centers in the winter.
We also exchange donations in lieu of gifts with our parents at the holidays. We’re all in positions where we don’t need more stuff, and it’s a nice way to still exchange something. My mom encourages donations to the rescue where she got her dog. I ask that she makes a donation to an organization that maintains and protects a local river basin.
My initial thought was, “that title can end after the 3rd word.”
I could never put a finger on it, but kids felt like an expensive 18 year punishment is because of child seats. The seats for high school aged kids are a nightmare.
Cellular modems with lifetime contracts from a telco are also increasingly common.
