Looks like the racist Senators are coming out and saying it now out loud. I wonder if his white sheet outfit has been cleaned and pressed after being stored in the closet for so, so long?

Man with muscle definition in camo shirt on YouTube commercial: "ARE YOU A REAL MAN? ONLY REAL MEN BUY OUR TACTICAL TRACING WHEELS AND SEWING SHEARS! YOU CAN STORM AN AL QAEDA CAMP AND KILL 50 TERRORISTS ***OR** YOU SEW YOURSELF A LOVELY CAMO TABLECLOTH WITH THIS THING! ONLY $19.99!!!"

LOL pink tracing wheel. You could make this stuff more popular with men by making that a "camo" handle and selling it for MOYG and call it a "tactical cutting wheel" 🤪

Anyway, acquired some tracing paper and a couple of tracing wheels so I can try to copy a pattern and/or trace it onto fabric without cutting. Vintage tracing paper.

Went to someone's sewing garage sale (clearing out their mother's sewing stuff--thought I'd snag some bargains on stuff I don't yet have), and did *not* get any questions on if I was in the right place... I attribute this to wearing the very bright pink/red shirt I sewed dyed with cochineal. The husband there may have given my shirt a good hard look.

(I'm a straight male, but, gender roles and all, I think "pink" is a statement. But I could be oversensitive and not reading things correctly, LOL)

Baby goat stampede (having to find pre-AI videos nowadays, grrr)

LA Times: COVID wave washes over California. Some officials urge residents to mask up

"A COVID wave is washing over California, with the state seeing continued increases in the number of newly confirmed cases and hospitalizations as some officials urged the public to take greater precautions.

The extent of the recent increases has prompted some county-level health officials to recommend that residents once again consider wearing masks in indoor public settings, at least until transmission has declined. "
