A few years of pickleball has given me callouses. I now put vaseline on them and cover with a bandaid, now and then, before bed, just to soften them up, and maybe get them to go away. I stopped playing pickleball for now, too, but for different reason.

A local movie theater has gone cashless. Credit or debit only. Their website says you can buy a debit card from them with cash and use the debit card to pay for your movie. I suppose the theater itself sells you the debit card, but that doesn't make any sense. That means still accepting cash...

Eva Vlaardingerbroek (well spoken Dutch conservative who opposes Starmer's open borders policy) has recently been banned from entering the UK. Reason given : her presence in the UK is "not considered to be conducive to the public good".

I used to get Japanese beetles every year eating my climbing roses, but haven't had any beetles for years (fine with me). I still get fireflies every summer, and lots of bees on my echinacea flowers. Big yellow and black bumblebees and also the plain smaller ones. Also so carpenter bees that...

I bet the Minneapolis Somalis are happy to be out of the spotlight, lol.
