   Wordle in 3.

   The boss said I could leave yesterday, but there are plenty of folks who WFH on Mondays, so I decided to come in. This shouldn’t take long.

   Debbie decided that she would take me to dinner to celebrate tonight- and offered to drive home, in case there might be a celebratory margarita! Or 2.

   Ordered a board for the LQ fridge- parts for that thing are hard to come by, but worth the effort. Replacing it would be $1500!

   In Iowa – Work was way too busy yesterday – trying to sell some things on Marketplace – no one is biting at all. Need to figure out what to do with a few things – I really don’t want to just give them away.

     So, what’s basement-dwelling brother going to do?

         is the plan to sell the house, or let him live there? Or sell it to him?

           he can’t afford the house – and the neighbors would KILL us.
           yes – Sell

         I love big dumpsters, and I cannot lie.

     Had a hunch you were in Iowa since you sent me your Wordle board after I’d gone to bed.

     Good luck with everything.

   I think my number must have been sold to a telemarketer because for the past couple of weeks I’ve gotten multiple spam calls per day, whereas before I might get one a week. This is annoying as fuck.

   Nothing to report, yesterday was normal and there was no baseball. Tonight we’re going to see Fiddler on the Roof at the Alliance.

     This is why I have the iPhone option to silence calls from numbers not in my Contacts lists. Only on occasion do I disable this, like when a technician is going to call me to alert me of arrival.

       LOL — anyone in my contacts knows better than to call me, the only calls I ever get are not in my contacts.

       I just went through and blocked the numbers that have called multiple times.

         Yeah, there are at most three people whose phone calls I answer unless I’m planning something and talking is more efficient.

   I did a three mile walk this morning, and just ruined it by eating some peanuts. I need to get out into WLF and do some harvesting and preservation today.

   Though we were supposed to get rain today. By the time any significant rain arrives WLF will be but a memory for 2025.

   With one precinct yet to report, I have to admit that I am stunned by today’s Wordle scores. So far Sal, Steve, and Randy scored threes and Betsy and I scored four.

   No Spoilers!

   I really thought that this word would trip everyone up. Shows you how little I know about Wordle playing.
