It confirms my suspicion that we're all "sheep"

I learned a lot about wishcycling, which I was surprised that I practiced. My recycle bin has far fewer things in it now, but I have much less contamination of my load

I rarely travel by plane but in order to get through TSA you need travel sized containers anyway.

Two years ago I started canning and pickling. I feel very connected to my ancestors, to the earth and to past times. I am able to give some of my goods as gifts. I don't get enough to make large quantities, but I make enough pizza sauce for a special Christmas Tree decorating party, enough applesauce for latkes, enough Black Forest Cherry Jam for Oktoberfest...This year I expanded my garden. I should have leeks when I need them in early March. I have a lot of banana peppers, hoping for a couple of acorn squashes for Thanksgiving, a pumpkin for Halloween. But something keeps eating my tomatoes without a trace just as they are ready to pick.

On the first day of the challenge, I was driving on Paseo del Norte at rush hour. Due to the traffic, I could not avoid running over a very large (refrigerator sized) plastic bag in my lane. I soon noticed the plastic ballooning up in my rear window, so I knew it must be stuck to something. At a light, the passenger in the vehicle behind me got out and tried to remove it but no luck. When I got where I was going I found it was twisted around my rear axle. It took me some time to free it but I did. I took it home and threw it away. Someone in my community littered, someone tried to help and I eventually put it in my trash
