    "A major American magazine has mistaken Tasmania for Africa, accidentally referring to Cradle Mountain as being in Tanzania in an online article.
    People Magazine were covering the story of Bindi Irwin and her family’s recent visit to the snow at Cradle Mountain when they mistook the popular tourist destination for East Africa."

    @Matchka9, I love your picture. Do you code for a living? Do you live in Alaska? You are discussing the dark months; that is why I ask.

    Monique or Mississippi Mo

    I'm essentially a data analyst so I do a lot of SQL coding.

    I live in the smallest, most southern state in Australia ... Tasmania! It's winter here, and the day with the shortest daylight hours just past. Slowly but surely the daylight hours are increasing.

    Monique - Glad to see you pop up, I was afraid we'd lost you!

    Heather - Love John's limerick, he's got that thing I find most attractive in any man - a sense of humor! :smiley: Enjoy your time with the grands today, I know you've missed it.

    Machka - Just a tiny bit of difference between Tanzania and Tasmania, besides that one little letter and a lot of geography... :wink:

    I was up after only about four hours sleep, but I napped out for two hours yesterday afternoon, so not a surprise. Yanked myself out of bed this morning when I found myself thinking that I hadn't heard from my oldest niece since I sent her the quilt I made for her a year and a half ago, and wondering if she hated me now because I made a mistake in that quilt that I didn't even remember making. Very much 3 a.m. thinking, and I do know better - I cycle out sometimes at night, and the only way to stop is just to get up and interrupt the silliness.

    Got a few messes cleaned up on my computer, and back to working correctly, and got my brain to stop being stupid, which is always helpful. Waved Corey off to work at his usual 5:30 a.m., and then got the meat I picked up yesterday separated and vacuum bagged and in the freezer. Starting on my second cup of coffee, which I don't ordinarily drink more than one.

    Dawn is breaking, still a half hour nearly until sunrise - won't go out until I can see well enough to keep from tripping over any snakies🐍 that might be enjoying the warm temperatures and mouse-hunting at this time of day 🐭🪤. Still not fond of anything with more than four legs or less than two... And not terribly fond of most of the two-leggers! Apparently I've finally made it to "cranky old bat stage." I'm OK with it. 👵🏼😜😁👀

    Will get a little more reading in, and then get the garden and the flower beds watered. Planted sunflowers 🌻🌻 last weekend, as the ground under the bird feeders is sprouting them like crazy from the dropped seeds, so obviously they'll grow here. Need to get them some water, too... no rain in the forecast for at least two weeks, 💦 so our water bill is going to be going up just to keep a few things alive and growing... If it doesn't rain in those two weeks, we'll probably be under a hose ban again.

    Ah well - that's life in the country, where rain is almost always a good thing.

    Later, y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa

    The neighbor at son's house is in Tanzania right now. She is on a tour. The tour she is in has many options for those on the tour. The tour program also gives the options to be involved in giving back to the community projects. Another option is to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. My neighbor is not doing that one. Her significant other could not join her on this trip because of neck surgery. He showed me pictures of tanzanite only found in that country. Sounds like she is having a great time.

    Yesterday’s dinner: chicken thigh with a slice of pepperoni in it for flavor, roasted potato (roasted with chicken), summer squash and pickled beats with olives. Desert was strawberries in stevia over a biscuit with cool whip. Snack was a peach.

    Breakfast today was same, sugar free maple oatmeal with banana, butter, and almond butter.

    I eat the same breakfast every day until I run out of that flavor. I’ve got cream of rice coming up next. I will add butter and almond or peanut butter to that too for protein and fat and of course the half banana.
