@ScottSoCal the coffee was single origin. I think it was the coffee.
Well, hey, the US is just one big party, singing kumbaya now. Do we really want to mess that up?

A year ago, egg producer Cal-Maine pocketed $39.5 million in quarterly profit. This time around it was $323 million, a 718% increase.
But I thought all those expensive eggs were inflation and bird flu? https://ktla.com/news/money-smart/egg-producer-reports-718-increase-in-profit/
"I've always felt like I don't fit," the young woman said.
"Fit where?" the witch said.
"In..." The young person gestured at their whole body. "Can you ..?"
"I can't make you fit what you have. I can make what you have fit you."
"Really?"
"It worked for me."
The young man smiled.

Which of those things was woke, because something had to be woke?

You can't see it in the photo, but this house sparrow was hanging with a bunch of red-winged blackbirds a couple months ago. This morning when I started to process this photo, I thought one of the blackbirds was in the upper right-hand corner. But after looking closer, discovered it was yet another interloper - a brown-headed cowbird. I cropped it out.

The get away.
I made a deliberated attempt to get a picture of this red bellied woodpecker leaving the bird feeder and still messed it up. I had him at the feeder, but he flew out of focus almost immediately. I attempted to sharpen it with both Topez Sharpen AI and Focus Magic. My minds eye gave Sharpen the edge, but I'm still not satisfied.
Anyhow, the bird found a peanut and you can almost track his path by the debris still falling in his wake.
