Just got done reading "Swag" by Elmore Leonard. My first Leonard novel, and I get why people love him. It was published in 1976, so a period piece now, and that was one of the more interesting parts of it, to be honest. Reads very much like it was intended to be filmed, which explains why he's had at least 24 film adaptations made... #bookstodon

GENIE: Ugh, NO, wiseguy, you can't wish for unlimited wishes.

ME: Fine. I wish I was your boss.

GENIE: I, um, ok.

ME: Give that man unlimited wishes or you're fired.

GENIE: But the rules -

ME: Are gonna pay your mortgage and put your kids through genie college?

GENIE: [sighs] Yes, sir.

1/ A lot of people have been asking for an explainer on what is going on with Southwest Airlines and the massive meltdown that occurred. Hi, I'm TProphet. I write the Seat 31B travel blog (https://www.seat31b.com) and closely follow the airline industry. More importantly, I have a friend whom Southwest abandoned in Las Vegas until New Year's (along with his cat), and there was literally nothing I could do for him. Ready? Let's dive in.

I love bananas.

Does this count as a thick trunk?? 🐘🐘🐘

This was taken earlier this year while I was standing in my front door. The Penta this swallowtail was feeding on is three this year and has become a giant plant, a veritable garden in itself and there have constantly been butterflies visiting: zebra wings, Gulf Fritillaries, Monarchs, yellow sulfurs, black swallowtails, and this lovely yellow swallowtail. But like most of the US this week the weather has dealt us a hard blow. I covered the red and white pentas and their companions but they were down the priority list below the banana grove, papayas, and the food gardens. But they got the leftover covers. We have one more hard frost tonight, and tomorrow I remove the covers and see what is left of my garden, wondering where the butterflies have gone and hoping for resurrection.

Hello #introductions
I listen, rather than talk, on social media. So much to learn! For joy I dwell in nature, photography, and the vast universe of good writing. In the real world, I care about the planet, injustice & the morass of politics. Most days I feel like singing & dancing, but a girl can definitely rant.

The #Netherlands ‘s rural #cycling network could be the eighth wonder of the world: thousands of miles of smooth, signed, scenic, separated paths connecting every remote corner of the country.

The result? A cycle #tourism industry worth €2.4 billion annually to the national economy.

#Introduction I'm Jake Rayson, a wildlife & food #ForestGarden designer because of the Ecological & #ClimateEmergency, and because I like gardens & design. Ex-web designer, bit geeky, trying to figure out connections between #ClimateJustice, #SocialJustice and the messed up political economic system we have
