I think maybe it's time to start a thread for "The World I Want To Live In."

1st up: shift from "Purchase New" to "Sturdy & Repairable:"

There needs to be: * incentives to manufacture things that can be repaired * a general shift to see repairability as a sign of quality, luxury and responsibility * training a new generation to do the work * support for these trades so it's a viable way of life Having a job fixing things is one of those types of work that can nourish the soul. But it needs to nourish the wallet too.

A palm Veer running a new webOS with a modern processor and a good camera would be *chef's kiss*. Gimme back that Just Type, Touch to Share, Touchstone Charging and add USB-C...Enyo was gorgeous.

Hell, Twain woulda been a killer tablet.

Picture is of my Palm devices when I was developing for webOS.

The household kiddo got given some new shapes of magnetic building tiles. Naturally, the adults snatched them up immediately to do barn design mockups.

We had two sort of small/medium horses when we first moved here, so we built a barn that’s really more of a large run-in shed to start with. We built it in a hurry and we built it cheaply, but it has kept the rain, wind, and sleet off the ponies for about 6 years now.

The thing is, last fall we adopted two new horses, and one of them is a Very Large draft horse. Now they could technically all fit in the barn, if they packed themselves in there like sardines. Some horses will totally do that. These four prefer a bit of personal space, so they use the barn as a time-share.

That’s been okay so far. Nobody has been cold. The one who needs a blanket is happy to wear a blanket. The rest of them are hairy enough to cope with the weather. But.

It would sure be nice to have a bigger shelter for them.

We’re thinking we’re just going to add another stretched hexagon to the current stretched hexagon. And actually put real roofing on, not just a tarp. Maybe we can get around to setting up rainwater catchment and filtering up there, too.

Is it a bit weird to dance at your wedding to a song with lyrics like ‘ I dream a dirty dream of you baby’ ? Possibly but we did 😂 Daydream in Blue by i monster #JukeboxFridayNight #HopesandDreams

You don't have to believe in ghosts. They believe in you.

I love ghosts. But not standing over me as I (try to) sleep. They must wait in the kitchen and it will go over better if they make eggs and coffee. #hopesanddreams

Does this mean we can soon expect the taco trucks to arrive on every street corner? 🤞

Professional procrastination is a whole thing but accomplishing small steps on music production is very exciting. An EP for an artist named 'Tobias' is a nice feeling.

They always tease us with greatness diaguised as tragedy. Still have my fingers crossed about the taco trucks #hopesanddreams
