Ewww, that is creepy, Sheryl.
Darn your sinister attraction!

Wow, Sheryl, that's some pretty bad neighboring!

Yikes, Sheryl, what a jerk.
Well, the Honey Ginger Salmon with Peach Salsa was really good -- if do say so myself -- and just the salmon glaze part will be good on its own with no peach salsa, so, yay, another good treatment for salmon.
And now I just have one peach left, so I think I am going to just eat that one, because yum. I did make blueberry cobbler (someone suggested peach cobbler, which made me think of it) with the blueberries I got, so I managed to get a dessert out of the haul, too. Excellent.

Oh oh putting things in your mailbox is a federal crime. Maybe tape a note on it letting the asshole know that.

Imagine if your asshole neighbor put that energy into something useful. Imagine if they all did. It would be a different world. I hope your knee feels better soon, Sheryl.
I had a job interview in my old home town yesterday. It’s over 3.5 hours from family, and I moved to Michigan to be closer to family, so I’m a bit ambivalent. But late in the interview they asked about committee work, and I mentioned how proud I was to be a founding member of my current team’s DEIA group, completely forgetting that the town hosted a unit of the Klan until just a couple of years ago. The atmosphere got a little chilly thereafter, so I don’t know that this is a choice I’ll need to make.
I had an interview Thursday with a different community college that’s a lot closer, and they asked me to tell them about my experiences promoting diversity at my current job. I suspect that would be a far better fit.

Yeah, better to find out the office culture includes a commitment to racism before an offer is on the table, Calli.

That does make the choice more obvious, Calli. Hope that one comes through.

I’d hoped that the dismantling of the local Klan group was a sign that things had improved. Guess it’s still a work in progress.
Happy birthday, Kay G.!

In random puzzle confusion, I almost always do my puzzles first thing in the morning when I brain best. Yesterday was a full and busy day with my uncle's memorial and life. This morning I go in and started with the Mini and it is already done. Huh? I did not realize that they roll over to the next day early. Per their site - "The Mini is available for subscribers the evening before its publication date, specifically at 10 p.m. EST on weekdays and Saturdays, and at 6 p.m. EST on Sundays." Anyway, I resolved the issue by going into archives to do yesterday's since today's is already done.
