Kids have discovered blinkies. This is my kids' obsession, for at least today.

The German Arch of Triumph was a monument proposed by Albert Speer at the suggestion of Adolf Hitler in the years leading up to World War II. The Arch, one of several proposed monuments to be erected in Berlin following the expected German victory, would have been 400 feet high, more than twice the size of its inspiration, the French Arc de Triomphe.

Sometimes, the covers people make for ebooks make no sense at all for the book. This is a book about the French Revolution and adventure. What is this photo about?

Cover for Kobo Plus ebook edition The Scarlet Pimpernel by the Baroness Emma Orczy, but it has "The Scarlet Pimpernel" in pink at the top, a strange blue swirl background, and a woman dressed in modern clothes and a modern hairstyle wearing a shirt that is unbuttoned to show cleavage.

I have a bunch of old recipe cards that were my grandmothers - she was married in the mid late 30s, and the newest ones seem to be from the 70s. Some were from the milkman when he made deliveries. This one is from the bottom of an order form, but some are promotional Betty Crocker recipe cards.

Don't forget to order buttermilk. The best cooks use BUTTERMILK in a wide variety of delightful recipes, and recommend it wherever sour milk can be used. BUTTERMILK SUGAR COOKIES: 2 cups sugar, heaping cup of lard, pinch of salt, 2 eggs, cup of buttermilk with teaspoon of soda beaten up in it, little nutmeg. Flour with 1 teaspoon baking powder sifted in. Enough flour to make dough stiff enough to roll out. Cut with cookie cutter and bake in hot oven.

The cat got stuck in the pantry last night and destroyed everything. I’m home from work today cleaning the cat and the pantry. The cat is fine, though a bit spooked. Photo of said cat:

Gray sealpoint cat with big eyes from front.

What is this email? Is this a joke? I don't even live in America anymore, but my elderly mother does.

Social Security Applauds Passage of Legislation Providing Historic Tax Relief for Seniors
The Social Security Administration (SSA) is celebrating the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill, a landmark piece of legislation that delivers long-awaited tax relief to millions of older Americans.

The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate relief to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation's economy.

I have bad handwriting, which I would like to improve, so I looked up handwriting charts. And I found this blast from the past. This is how I was taught to form letters. No wonder I had so much trouble learning handwriting. That doesn't look like a Q, and the W is about impossible to make legible.
