Plot Twist: there’s a ranger who’s a sneaky sneakerhead.

I prefer the image of each little kit tucked into a shoe bed for the night

I meant they aren’t sure why the fox (es) is(are) stealing shoes. But I believe you are correct, plus even a clean fox can do a person or pet damage with bites. And they don’t want to have to relocate or kill the 🦊

It’s a real story, also being run by The Independent if you can get past the ads.

Real fox or possibly foxes, people reacted to the warning by deliberately leaving out shoes, so second notice reminding folks it’s bad for foxes to spend too much time close to people. Why? No solid info.

That’s pretty!

I also have windows that slide left/right. Specifically, the right side slides left to open, right to close. Two are “landscape,” one is “portrait” shaped. Then I have three sliding-glass doors, which work exactly the same way except for the latch, threshold, and the fact that the screen also slides. It may be relevant that it never snows here.

What heart?

Trying to think if I can cobble together 90 minutes a day that I’m NOT online…

I don’t have to tell you “that’s what the insurance companies want you to think so you’ll forget about the option of free healthcare for all” because here we both are.

I’d bet, although the hospital billed that amount and insurance covered it, they actually paid less to the hospital. Because they negotiate lower “allowed amounts” in exchange for keeping the hospital in their “preferred provider” group.

But surely your out of pocket maximum was much less. The “before insurance” numbers are a fiction to make your insurance company look like they’re doing more for you. They don’t pay the hospital anything like that amount, and if you had no insurance, you could negotiate a lower amount from the hospital as well, since they’d rather get something over time than have you go bankrupt on them.

Oh! Green, red, napa? Carry around a head and pull off a leaf at a time or bite into the whole thing? Or slice it into shreds?

I approve of cabbage but I’m not delighted with most of the recipes I’ve used. Got something really different? And please, my body can’t tolerate much capsaicin so don’t lean into heavy 🌶️. Other spicy spices are fine.

I’m lucky enough to live in SoCal, I have tomatoes and blueberries and lemons and miner’s lettuce in pots on my balcony year-round. And I make lovely strawberry jam, but I’m well aware that the boiling necessary for preservation destroys most of the Vitamin C.

They’d agreed to share the plate. And they had the grace to blush when they realized it was the same spaghetto

Siblings doing something to your food isn’t a sign it’s appropriate, more the opposite. We’re worst behaved towards each other, although we’d defend them against others.

Sure, it’s midsummer. But if the tariffs are still on in December… Well, I’ll probably still have cherry tomatoes on my balcony in Los Angeles, but it won’t work for someone in Minnesota.

Fortunately, TACO.

Not eating anything except local produce might get you winter scurvy in some places.

But you have a good sensible point about the billionaires.

But those girls are licking their OWN food off their fingers, not pasta sauce from sticking their hand into a co-worker’s spaghetti! Even within an intimate relationship grabbing the other person’s food isn’t appropriate without consent.

As a short woman who can’t run fast, it depends on how safe the situation feels. In general, I keep moving if there’s someone coming out and approaching people, because some of those folks can switch from a scam to a purse-snatch/assault in a flash. But I’ve occasionally tucked a 20 into the cart of a woman sleeping on the sidewalk, and I don’t care what they spend it on. I donate monthly to my local food bank as well of course.
