Yay! Glad to read about this change from the U.S. Post Office.

"...every Post Office location that processes passports is now offering a minimum of three hours a week where walk-in customers can visit and apply for their passport."

I thought Naomi Osaka had the match. On match point at 5-3 in the third set, and she had momentum. She couldn't close it out.

Iga Swiatek came back strong, winning third set and match: 7-6, 1-6, 7-5.

Why should you never argue with decimals?

Because they always have a point.

In Cheboygan, Michigan, there are no local journalists to report news.

Local residents are turning to Facebook for local news. (Personal note: argh, Facebook isn't a reliable or trustworthy resource to learn what's happening in your community.)

I've been slowly potting up my plants on a table in the garage, but ran out of pots this morning.

As I was debating whether to wait for the thrift shop to open, my 87-year-old neighbor called to me across the street, "I've got some pots for you."

Talk about good timing!

I thought I knew the songs and calls of the Black-capped Chickadee.

Wrong. I learned two new ones this week, listening to the birds in the yard.

I shared some of my extra tarragon and chives plants with two neighbors. The tarragon seeds germinated well. And I needed to split the chives.

Both neighbors asked me how to use/cook with them, since they hadn't used them in their cooking. So I shared some of my recipes as well.

Yay! Glad they're coming back to Detroit.

I was so disappointed when Detroit Public TV moved 20 years ago from the New Center area to Wixom.

Detroit Public TV returns to its roots, moving headquarters back to Detroit, in the Milwaukee Junction neighborhood.
