If you sent me a Christmas card - thank you! I've received a bunch (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
gaffsie, crazy4orcas, and ladyjax for starters) and probably a few more that have kind of gotten lost in the mail piles...

Did I mention that I got pulled over by the cops for being out of registration? I forgot to pay my rego back in September (right around when I finished work) and didn't get any reminders. So right before Christmas, I got pulled up by a cop - followed around a shopping mall carpark, which is never a good look.
Result? Two fines at $600 a pop. One for driving unregistered, one for not being insured for injury/damage to the general public. Ouch. Still, apparently there's a third fine, which I mentally named "giving a cop any reason", but I was civil and polite and had a clean record so it was just the two. And the registration. And the insurance to get it back on the road. And...UGH.
Anyway. I probably won't forget that again.

I found someone's wishlist in my collection of links, but I don't remember whose or why I have it. Any ideas?
--
A few recipes:
Sourdough Discard recipes: for the rejects from my sourdough starter.
Greek Honey Cake: because HONEY CAKE.
Lemon Meringue Cupcakes: lemon season is coming...
--
Some politics:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and stepped taxes: seriously, people, tax brackets for great justice!
I don't think tax brackets is a difficult concept for people to get their heads around. On the other hand, the greediness of humanity - MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE like a bunch of seagulls - is nearly impossible for people to get their hearts around.
