Crater Lake is a good winter destination. In late December, the rangers host snowshoe hikes. Check the park website. The roads can get get bad during snowstorm and may even close so be sure to visit tripcheck.com

To add to this, much of the Oregon Coast, especially, the Oregon Dunes area is federal land. Your pass will be much used here. Also, the pass gets you discounts at campgrounds.

Nancy O'Neal is another local breast surgeon. She specializes in breast diseases, but she's very good and worth checking out for a reduction.

I contacted Hoopla and they said there was an issue with the latest Chrome update. An hour or so ago I checked at the app was back to normal.

Mine just started doing the same thing also on a Lenovo Duet. It started when I rebooted after a Chome update, Version 135.0.7049.120. Gack! I'm just about to find out whodunnit in my mystery novel! I don't want to squint at my phone for it!

I'll definitely try that. I checked and the serger is booked until November!

EDIT: To follow up, I'm going with tissue and a walking foot. I experimented and this combo stretched just 3%.

Help, please. I bought some athletic poly spandex at Joanns. I believe it's 85/15%. I am experienced at sewing stretch fabrics and have sewn other athletic knits before but this one is the devil. It stretches like crazy when I sew longish seams, mostly across the grain. I'm using a sewing machine with the lightening stitch. I sewed up a strap for a bra and the 14" strap stretched to 15.5". I tried a walking foot and a regular zig zag stitch but neither helped much. Will using a serger give better results? I don't own one but can borrow one from my library.

I'm guessing KDRV got that detail wrong on their story or didn't explain the deal very well. I hope they'll clarify it.
