Sweden has been rapidly moving toward a cashless economy. Nowadays, most banks in Sweden no longer handle cash transactions, and Swedes are using a bank-owned phone app called Swish to send and receive payments in all aspects of their lives. One church in Sweden has even stopped accepting bills or coins altogether in its collection plate, raising the question: does a digital donation still count as an offering?
I spent entirely too much time on the mower yesterday. Once again I waited too long to do the mowing in Tremont and it is too deep to mow easily. Slow going. Hopefully I can finish up today before the rain.
As I mentioned yesterday, I get excited about harvest time. I don’t really know why since I’ve never farmed or harvested in my life. Maybe it has something to do with the passing of another year. One of those marks in time that note another year has passed.

... I am deeply disappointed that Nike is attempting to co-opt Colin’s actions in order to sell more shoes that are still made in sweatshop conditions by mostly young women of color in Vietnam, Indonesia, and China.
The short of it is, Nike never does anything simply because it is the right thing to do. They do not care about social justice or human rights. This is about money. Period.
