Seems like a sound business plan. Of course, now everyone will want an oddball size.

Oddball sizes are the ones that I don't post the price for so no one will know and I'll gently encourage them to increase their size of they want one

Bigger is best until the thing goes bust! Some say it was the initiation theme ... and then it blew thro' ... like Gabriel!

Word is an ideal matter to mess with even if it really doesn't matter! Thus like a God in vapors at the bottom of the well ...

Quiet day here. What happened? Is everyone busy reading BA's newsletter?

That would be a good use of their time

picked the rhubarb - not as much as I thought there would be as it was just HUGE leaves on very skinny stalks. Chopped 1.5 cups for my next batch of scones, 2 cups for my next baked oatmeal, and the rest I chopped and prepped for juice (didn't measure) - won't be getting much juice this year.

I also have a pot of dandelion tea steeping that I'll drink as iced tea

Snoopy loves work. Snoopy can watch it all day.

I'm reading a book called The Butcher's Daughter. It's the back story for Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd. It's very good.

Could have fooled me.

Could have fooled me.

That's only because there doesn't seem to be anyone around who will do the work so I can just watch

So the thing goes on unresolved ... with little vocational input!

I know a wee song about work.

I'm busy doing nothing,
Working the whole day through,
Trying to find lots of things not to do.
I'm busy going nowhere,
Isn't it just a crime,
I'd like to be unhappy but I really don't have the time.

It is just how it goes so that we find passage ... also place not to go! We are quite limited for mysterious rationale ...

It is said Mani do not know about that latter part about getting out! In other trations across the lime mani is ManJ, or mange ... thus self consuming solution ... overlooked or under scene? Back staged ... merde-roues skewering!

I'm reading a book called The Butcher's Daughter. It's the back story for Mrs Lovett from Sweeney Todd. It's very good.

Weirdly, I read a short story last night by S. L. Huang (acclaimed fantasy writer) that was has elements of Sweeney Todd but is set in Imperial China. The Mrs. Lovett figure is a teenaged girl whose father is the murderer (he's an innkeeper rather than a barber, though). His victims tend to be Imperial officials meddling in local affairs so there's a bit of a revolutionary element, too. It's available at Reactor, run by Tor Books, for free. Apparently, it's actually a prequel to her novel The Water Outlaws, which garnered Huang a lot of attention and award nominations. Must see if my library has that.

Sounds like a great read
