A while back I posted info about a bracelet that can be purchased to plant a tree in Australia....now we can do the same with these adorable Koala plush friends....of course I ordered one 'cause I'm a sucka, so I figured I would share since we were discussing our stuffed animal toys....it's from "Lets Regrow Australia" if anyone is interested....hopefully it's not a scam!

Speaking of Kolas, Did you catch the game last night CK? Exciting that Montreal is up 2-1, big mistake by Fleury!

Hello to everyone!

Warm and cloudy day here today. Possibly rain tomorrow. Plans are to putter in the garage and the garden, maybe a little shopping, maybe a little bike ride then I'm off to work mid-afternoon.

Have a great day!

It's good to be on the sober bus!! I just read that Walt Disney being cryogenically frozen in hopes of future resurrection is a rumor!

Or is that a rumour to cast shade on the truth I ask you?



And ON ❤️

The only thing is they don't say who they are. That is a worry in my books.

But ya still get a cute plush koala, so as long as they aren't $100, still a win.

Hey, Mizz, did they lift the mask requirement at your work? You're in CA, right?

On the bus, is it over yet?

That's too bad.

One of my friends has a small obsession with those 4oceans bracelets...I'm not sure I'm a believer in that company either. I'm a really awful cynic when it comes to alleged charities, though. I'd rather go plant a tree or pick up trash at the beach.

Happy three and a half years Chloe!

Aly, my wife bought a used VW Jetta in the nineties from a woman whom had moved from the Bay area. It didn't have AC, and she said living there it really wasn't needed. How times have changed.

On the bus, coffee in hand.

Happy riding all!

You'd think that koala would have a ribbon around its neck saying save the forest or something

Good Morning!

Yes, the mask requirement has been lifted as of yesterday. There is something about proof of vaccination or signing a statement about being vaccinated. I am not sure of the in's and out's yet. I am a bit anxious about all of it but have one more week to get a grip .....

Yay! I stopped wearing mine except where required. The grocery store where I shop (Krogers) no longer requires it of anyone, employees or customers. It seems like it's about 50/50 masked/not masked in the grocery store. Other retailers here haven't dropped the requirement yet. Our mask mandate will be lifted July 1.

It's funny because suddenly kids are wearing masks, but they didn't for the first nine months of this. So weird, the whole thing.

For sure I watched the whole game, our goalie Carey Price stole that one (again)
Our mascot Youppi says Go Habs Go!



Count me in for a ride on the Sober Bus today! ☼

Welcome Vik88!

Congratulations on three and a half years Chloe!

That's really heartless if it is a scam. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised but still...

On the bus...er train...something.

Purps, you try to do the right thing more than anyone I know. I hope it's not a scam, but if it is, your intentions are good. Love you! 💟 That's too bad about some of the charities and the scams. I get a lot of political stuff too and I'm sure most of those are scams too.
SG, funny, a long time ago when I got out of college in Florida and moved back to CA via Chicago, my first car I bought didn't have a/c either. You are so right, times have changed and we're hotter, at least here in the Bay Area. Although if you live in S.F., you really don't need a/c except once in a blue moon. I don't remember the summers being this hot before. It got to almost 110 degrees yesterday. That is hot. They say it will be a little cooler today, but it's still in the hot category. 💙
Have a wonderful Saturday all! Love and peace to all.
