McDonald’s Co. (Japan) will only offer french fries in small sizes as potato imports from North America have been delayed due to flooding near a Vancouver port and a worldwide logistics disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The sale of medium- and large-size fries will be stopped from Friday to Dec. 30 as the potato supply falls, McDonald’s said in a statement on Tuesday. The hamburger chain continues to sell small-size offerings as it tries to make sure customers can enjoy the popular item despite the shortage.

Today (12/22/2021) we will be gathering in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en peoples at 4:00 PM. at the Chase Bank, 3621 Merle Hay Rd, Des Moines, IA 50310.
Chase is one of the major institutions funding fossil fuel projects, including the Coastal GasLink pipeline being built on Wet’suwet’en lands. Pressuring financial institutions to divest funds from fossil fuel projects has been a tactic for many years. Gatherings like this can encourage the bank to divest from fossil fuel projects. They can also provide a public way for individuals to divest their funds from these banks.

Banks and private equity companies are pouring billions on a massive fracked gas pipeline to cross Wet’suwet’en territory: Coastal GasLink.
Indigenous Hereditary chiefs and supporters have responsibilities to defend the sacred, pristine headwaters of the Wedzin Kwa, in Wet’suwet’en law. They hold uninterrupted title to the land, in colonial law. For peacefully acting in accordance with…

One of the secrets of happiness and joy is to learn to appreciate and enjoy what we have while we pursue our truest life purpose.

If it’s Wednesday … wait … hold on … IT’S WEDNESDAY ALREADY??? No, it can’t be … only … 1 … 2 … 3 more days ‘til Christmas??? Where has the week gone? Where has December gone? For that matter, where has the YEAR gone??? 😱
Now, as I was saying … if it’s Wednesday, it must be time to set aside the angst, the characters that bring about mounds of snark and rants and turn instead to some good people.

(credit and thanks to The Atlantic for image, I make nothing from it.)
This post is the start of the rough draft of Chapter 7, section III, part A, for my non-fiction WiP, Do Better, fka Baby Floors (fka Baby Acres, or Acre Baby…). This section will complete the early years of mapping out a path to get there for Phase I, with our Public Domain Social Infrastructure. It’s here for comparison, because I can’t bear the pain of letting the original version of this idea go without at least a whimper.
Comment on Part I: Dreaming, in Draft 3 changes Do Better into a much more community project oriented book, as I prepare to pass on the torch. To comment on chapter 7, in Part II: Engineering, look here…
