inMy neighbor in Tucson asked why I bother with a rain barrel when it rains 12 inches a year
Did you see that guy on YouTube who tested his setup in Arizona and said each barrel saved him around 100 gallons per storm? Three barrels might be worth it if your water bill jumps that high in summer.

inMy favorite weird site went offline last Tuesday and I can't decide if I should try to save it
I did this exact thing with a site called falconryphotos.net back in 2019. Grabbed about 60 pages off the Wayback Machine, threw them on Neocities, and it took me maybe two hours total. My rule now is pretty simple. If the whole thing fits on one free host and you can pull it in an afternoon, just do it. You're not really "choosing" one project over a thousand others, you're just saving the one you happened to care about, and that's fine. The Wayback Machine copy already exists anyway, so all you're doing is making it easier to find.

inHot take: the Clarendon farmers market is way better on Sunday than Saturday
Gotta love how @pat360 turned a farmers market post into a math problem about apples and oranges, but fair point about the time gap. My Sunday runs are usually around 10, and the lot is maybe a third full, so I'm not fighting anyone for a spot or a parking space. Losing a couple vendors does sting, no lie, but the ones who do show up seem way less stressed and actually hand you your change with a smile. Ten on Sunday beats nine on Saturday any day of the week, even if I'm down one kale guy.
