Well, that’s a lot of hail. My poor car.

I feel the same way about cherry popsicles.

A box with 5 hot cross buns with beige frosting

Finally got hot cross buns from Dan the Baker! I ended up with 2 boxes of baked goods, and didn’t trust my fucked-up hands to hold them plus my coffee. They put the boxes in a bag and even offered to carry them out for me! They’re a real class act.

The plain ones are so good! The best I’ve had in the US.

It is hideously expensive but the quality is so, so good. He uses top-notch ingredients.

It did remind me that I love the early morning. So there’s a bit of silver lining.

Womp womp, no hot cross buns until ~10 AM. I have a consolation croissant.

First in line at Dan the Baker this morning! This is a, well, first.

The recommendations on this thread are delightful!!!

I was on YouTube, looking up a particular dance from Uzbekistan (Lazgi.) One of the responses was an AI video of ”traditional dance” and it, and the clothes, were ridiculously incorrect. Ugh.

I forgot about the time change and stayed up too late!

AURORA: What Happened To The Earth? Get tickets now on the official website. Exclusively in cinemas worldwide Wednesday March 4 for a limited time only.

Saw the Aurora concert in a movie theater - her show from Mexico City on dia de muertos. It was so good, not just the concert, but the feel of a giant safe space. We need more of that in the world today.

We are watching the women’s gold medal curling match, SUI vs SWE, and conveniently their uniform colors match the curling stones.

I went shopping for dresses on Etsy and holy crap, the AI! So much AI-generated garbage.

Very grateful that the Olympic curling medal matches are at a reasonable-for-me time. Mixed doubles has been SO good this year. #curling

Target’s new CEO says ”we weren’t clear enough about who we are as a company.” I think they were pretty fucking clear about it.

Apparently there was a preacher preaching against the monks at last night’s Walk For Peace stop. Funny how the Buddhist monks are more christ-like than the christians.

The lows here are going to be around -6° F/-21° C, so I am off for another round of trying to keep the ferals warm. Heading out to buy a bale of straw and a ceramic heat emitter and lamp. Maybe supplies for a tote-and-styrofoam shelter.
