Yeah movies just saw The Whale. Disgusting waste of film. It won an award too. I think the deciders are trying to push sad sentiment. There must have been better movies in the line up? I put this BF star film in the same category as Lobster, Tar, and that one where he cuts his fingers off. All dark and lifeless. Foreign films know how to present these themes well 😊 Also music way to overpowering in current film and TV
The cucumber tip was interesting as I often buy them but don't get around to eating them in time, usually because I forget I have them! See you Tuesday.
One of the things that caused chagrin for me recently was a note from our compost service that you cannot put dryer lint in the compost bin. They take a LOT of things, including meat bones and such (we are not vegetarian) and are willing to experiment with corn-based plastics and other materials labeled compostable, but pointed out that most clothing now is made with some kind of microplastic, and of course that's in the lint. I hadn't thought of that and had been putting it in the compost. Lesson learned.
My 5am publish came and went today! So funny, I was up early but had a bunch of things to take care of this morning. Came back in the mid-morning and checked up on Substack...it had been scheduled for 21-FEB instead (tomorrow). Oh well that is okay. Hope you all enjoy it.!

I love your post, Mark. So glad I have been introduced to your writing. YAY!
(Sorry, I don't have anything particular observations or insights. Just wanted to give my appreciation)
This is among my favorites of your posts. Or is that recency bias?
