oldone,

I always thought court philosopher would be a good gig

oldone,

Can't really choose a favorite, but it would have to be something from Leonard Cohen -

Ring the bells that still can ring,
Forget your perfect offering,
There is a crack, a crack in everything,
That’s how the light gets in.

oldone,

Thank you for sending me back to this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7V8DRfZBQI&t=235s (in case anyone missed it)

oldone,

Also - giant hogweed, which will burn you...https://www.nps.gov/articles/species-spotlight-giant-hogweed.htm

oldone,

Pretty cold (average low temps are below freezing 5 months of the years - lowest about 30 below, though that was before the heat pumps).

Two logs houses - the heat pumps have done a great job, though we still use the wood stoves some (often just for the coziness/nostalgia).

oldone,

I love his books! You might check out Joel Achenbach too - https://www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Joel-Achenbach/1162553

oldone,

Let Michael Schur guide you! - Watch The Good Place and read How to Be Perfect

oldone,

It's been a while, but I think Max Barry came up with Global Unified Deity in Jennifer Government (great book, by the way)

A Japanese Startup Is 3D Printing Small Homes With The Same Price Tag As A Car (www.yankodesign.com)

3D home printing has matured enough as a technology to be viable. Yet despite the global housing shortage, chronic to so many countries, has yet to take off.

Gene Weingarten - One Day: The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary 24 Hours in America.

I love the way he writes - check out his long feature writing.

I seem to gravitate towards journalists: Tracy Kidder, Erik Larson, Sarah Vowell, Joel Achenbach, Jon Krakauer, Joe Starita, Mary Roach

oldone,

Agatha Christie's are classics, of course - and Dorothy Sayers - but there are so many variations.

Maybe check out Ann Cleeves, or Andrew Vachss is you prefer darker, or Ruth Rendell and Patricia Highsmith for psychological -

oldone,

https://thistleridgesoap.com/ is another. Great soaps, though she's retiring soon, so I'm looking for alternatives too.
Maybe try a castile or black soap - I like those

oldone,

I have used Tung oil on all kinds of wood in my cabin, and I love it. Easy to apply, looks great, and wears well (did both old pine and new oak floors with it)

Finding the pure stuff is difficult where I live, so I have to order it, but that's fine.
