Oh, yes. Take a fall walk in the woods.
Arborescent
That's a great word.
(Of course, the spelling forces my mind sideways to an alternate definition: "smelling like a tree.")
It is a problem of my 'branch' of the family. Sorry.

Several years ago, my sister-in-law gave me a little do-dad which was designed to make it easier to hold a paperback book in one hand while reading it. It looked like something I ought to try to make myself, so I did. Here it is.
The book is worth a look, too.

Is the firehose pointed your way or mine?
Hello.
You have taken a chance on me. Thanks.
Follow as long as it makes sense to do so. Drop me when that makes better sense.
May your experience with Mastodon be at least as good as mine has been.
The middle school spread of subject matter provides the chance for an eager learner (any age) to become interested in so many things that others must ignore in the pursuit of their specialty.
My good fortune was being a junior high school (middle school) science teacher. I got to explore *everything* with the students.
Shucks.
You did all the work. I'm just having fun reading about Elena and Greg.
Thank you for taking a chance by adding my toots to your home stream.
It may turn out fine, but if (at your discretion alone) you find my stuff wastes your valuable space, drop me instantly!
Glad to see your toots, too.
Have fun.
Be safe.
Ah, the joy of being an expert at nothing!
thank you. great work.
