As if I needed to say so. I hope you like the links — I’ve worked harder on them this week than I usually do.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

The psychology of money. Interesting take; but they all are — you just have to find the one that works for you.
A tortoise laying eggs under a house has been discovered in Pompeii. I’d call it egg-bound from the description, and the archaeologists do think she died before the eruption.
One of the world’s oldest mosques has been discovered in the Negev.
Does Vienna have the most ecologically responsible landfill in the world?
I’m on Penzey’s mailing list. When I went to their website (I know where all three area stores are, so I don’t very often), I found this.
The race to explore the ocean’s twilight zone.
Polar bears have found a way to thrive in Greenland despite lack of sea ice.
Meet the anti-greenwashers.
Why do we sleep less than other primates?

I have been decluttering. This is a bigger project than you’d think. I plan to work on it all through this coming week because the following week is the annual inspection of smoke alarms, and that makes a convenient incentive.
I’ve spent a lot of money on honey this past week. I like yogurt with cinnamon and honey, and I’ve started going through a lot of yogurt lately. I’ve discovered that I very much prefer buying plain and adding my own honey. In fact, I may start making my own again.
Have actually found that buying my favorite pants from the company costs less, even with shipping, and is just as convenient as Amazon ever has been. Not that I’ve ever bought more in the way of clothing than a couple of pairs of shoes from Amazon.

Love you guys!
