At night, why does it smell like skunks are walking around outside? Too many nights in a row, this is the case. At first I thought it was weird-smelling mulch from neighboring gardens.
The weather has cooled off quite a bit and it's really nice to have all the doors open and fans pulling in fresh air -- until that skunk parade seems to happen.
On Sunday I hope to go with my sister and her husband's family to Laurel Highlands or some park near it. It's a trip we make a lot of summers. I hope work doesn't prevent my going, but I can't predict yet. Just getting out in the yard chopping at the shrubs and weeds has been nice in the last few days. I'm so proud of the small progress I've made in taming the hedge and the huge Rose of Sharon bush, because I'm not great at this sort of thing. I start out roughly hacking off limbs, then the next day or so I can return and try to shape it decently. I don't have electric tools, so it's very cavewoman style.
Today I had to research to find who purchased the domain FakeNews.com, which sold at a conference for $65,000. It was a man in Sweden who seems to be a pretty awesome programmer/IT specialist. This domain of course sold for so much because of Trump and his stupid talk. A domain which is perhaps the closest to being the opposite -- RealNews.com -- is, I'm glad to say, now a site featuring news that is humane and authentic and does not simply report the latest thing at the White House. I was looking into these because we own multiple domains that are similar to both.
