We are having rain and wind here, too, @Smithy, but we have been needing some rain because the ground is dry and hard like cement. We are headed into cooler temperatures this next week, so getting closer to winter.

Bobby and i have been discussing this also, @Jacob Petersheim . It really does seem like the companies are hiring advertising executives who have no clue who the buying base of the product actually is.
What happened with Bud Lite was one of the biggest examples, and Cracker Barrel just learned the hard way, too.

As you mentioned, they still seem to be pushing the Woke agenda, even though it only fits a minuscule amount of Americans, and alienates the majority of their customers. Until they start losing business, this never seems to dawn on the company, and sometimes, they realize it way too late, after they have lost most of their base by targeting customers who probably do not use the product anyway.

I wonder if, before the shutdown, if the government did not support some of the companies if they advertised this way. Like paying hospitals extra for covid diagnoses (during covid) They don't seem to want to do that anymore..

Yes, I have a beautiful little Japanese maple that I've had for years in a pot on the deck that keeps getting blown over. Today it broke off one of the branches that is so pretty. The tree has been growing like a bonsai. About 3 1/2 feet tall.

You might be able to root the branch that has broken off, @Mary Stetler ?
It is always worth a try since otherwise you will just throw away the broken piece anyway. I have had good luck sometimes by just cutting the bottom at a sharp angle and putting the cutting in one of my containers and just leaving it until spring. The Rose of Sharon clippings always root over the winter, and sometimes even the rose cuttings after i prune them back. Blueberry cuttings do not seem to do as well, but if I have to prune something anyway, then I keep trying to root some of the cuttings.
 
Has anyone else been affected by the internet outage yesterday? Reportedly the Amazon Digital Services servers on the U.S. East Coast failed at 2 AM yesterday, taking much of the internet down with them. I understand that much of the impact was actually felt in the UK due to the time it occurred, but my internet speed and video resolution still seems to be impacted, and I am very far from the U.S. East Coast.
 
All I really noticed was web access slow and erratic on some sites, and Alexa getting a little weird for a heil. But I was probably doing other things during the worst of it @Don Alaska so don't go by me.

Right now nothing is bothering me, but I admit I'm ignoring a couple of things right now. If there was anything I could do at the moment I'd take action, but I can't.

My Roku glitched a little bit. I keep it on all night for when pain bothers me. I thought they had cancelled the series I was streaming. But then all of my favorites were back up. That happens sometimes. I figured it was my provider.
 
Right now my headache is bothering me.

Down here it hasn't become a problem, not yet anyway.
