What did you do in the garden today?

I like the go wild, multi colors best

I don't think I have a good enough color sense or design sense to get it to look good. Or experience with growing very many flowers.

I can grow zinnias. Maybe the Giant California mix would get the effect. Not as well but acceptably, you think?

The seed catalog says 36" tall.

Maybe another, shorter variety in front.

in my experience mixed colours somehow always end up pink. white and grey need to be matched with an intense colour like red/yellow/pink, etc.

I went to athens yesterday. while I was there someone broke in my house and stole my tools. I am making new coops and really need my tools.

Technology, eh?
Well, we made it to 20 today.
I spent the whole morning doing laundry, chipping ice of doors and windows, washing more towels, and reworking a bed pillow into a more usable shape and firmness, then sewing a new cover and case for it.
The afternoon was spent on the tractor moving that drift and pushing snow deeper into the yard before it froze solid again.

Auto guys said they put in a new battery. Um, how could the 3 week old battery have been the problem? Once the car was jumped and driven the battery was at proper volts. When I turned it off, it wouldn't start again and needed jumped again. Brand new alternator too.
I swear. Fuse, computer module....I have no idea.

Ask the mechanic to check all the ground connections. A poor ground can cause weird, intermittent problems.

Stupid New York State Thruway Authority.
I just got a $40ish bill for three passes through a toll in NewYork State a week before Christmas.

Sounds like a dispute is in order....

As soon as they open in the morning.
The photo attached to the letter is blurry in the dark at best.

Looks like it could be several different mashes of numbers.
Certainly doesn't look like DHs plate though, not even close as his is a military disabled plate and has extra giant logos on it, and the photo is simply numbers.

I got 2 of those from California before, we have never driven in California.
The plate was like ours but we have a 0 with a line through it and picture showed the letter O.

SCAM ALERT!! This sounds VERY scammish to me! I would DOUBLE check the phone number you call to complain. Look it up online, go to an official website you look up online.

$40 isn't much, but if they get your credit card number, or if you send a check and the get that information, it could turn ito identity theft.

Please be careful!

It does sound scummy, but dh is a software enginner and teaches cyber security.
We back, independantly, researched it and the numbers and contacts match the paper copy we got inindependently,
It's a legit software read error on NewYork. Happens a LOT.

Now the PayPal whisking email that made it through all my filters yesterday was scammy. The lengths these ppl go to.

Turns out Nebraska has dh's number assigned to a transport plate too. They reuse numbers on different tags but the designator isn't apparent unless you live here or work for our dmv and are looking at a screen. So dhs number is really PH xxxx and transport is TR xxxx. Nice right?! NY is clearing it up. There's a second bill coming for this guy for 80$. And I'm having words with our dmv later today. Numbers should be exclusive!

I'm glad you got this sorted out. Thanks for the update.
