Misfits box and aphantasia

Right after I posted yesterday, the Misfits box arrived, on time, complete except for the items they'd alerted me to. 

So it seems their website, which indicated not shipped, definitely not out for delivery, look for it Friday,  minutes before the email announcing its arrival, is not talking with the rest of the team. I'm guessing an issue between the newly-linked Imperfect and  Misfits online worlds. Appropriate when you think about it.

Far be it from me to complain about an on-time delivery, and here It is

The biggest butternut squash ever, and giant sweet potatoes. Enough for two pots of soup, so containers of cooked, cubed, squash and sweet potatoes are now in the fteezer, along with enough soup for the week. Some kale because no spinach at a good price. Cherries because no apples (!). I think I'll struggle through!

Last evening so tired after prepping, washing, freezing, sweeping floor, breaking down boxes for recycle, cooking, washing dishes, I just managed a cup of soup. It went down well, usual seasoning of salt, Old Bay, turmeric, nutmeg, added milk, dash of lemon juice.

I'd already done a good walk, and various other things, busy day.

While I was out walking I noticed behind s house fence, right where I walk

Dumping started again. Loose papers out of frame, blowing about. This is close to where we had the massive problem last year, now resolved. As you see, contractors are at work

I've alerted management to insist they take away the debris when they finish. It's illegal for homeowners to put construction debris into the waste stream, so that's when dumping happens. Brendan, our manager,  promises to be on it. So we'll see. 

A lot of contractors claim debris is the homeowner's problem because they don't want to bother disposing of it in approved places to which they have trade access. 

In fact my next door neighbors rejected three contractors for their renovation before finding one who would dispose of the debris.

This kind of thing is often the difference between a nice place to live and a rundown development. Considering these townhouses are in the $400k market, they're worth caring for.

No, we paid nothing like that. We bought one of the last three houses to be sold, when the builders were desperate to finish their responsibilities for the development. So we offered a ridiculously low price, and were amazed when they said Done!

Back to now, I just came across this interesting thinking. It's about the ability to visualize. Some people have it to a marked extent, all the way to people who can't fathom what it's like.  No connection with intelligence, none, just variations in brain function. Take a look.

On being asked to visualize an apple, or any object or scene.

One is marked visualization, on a scale to 5 which is the absence of it. It's just interesting, not vital, definitely not an indicator of other abilities. Not a puzzle with a right answer! 

Happy day everyone, posting early because Misfits changed my plans for the better. Let's hope if your plans change without your agreement, it's for the better. 

And if we can't visualize the better, don't worry, let it flow over us. Let's be the pond, not the fish darting about in it.
