People say you should leave money in your HSA until retirement and reimburse yourself for medical stuff then. But you need evidence of the medical charges you're reimbursing yourself for, so you need receipts.

What does that actually look? Do you all keep, like, PDFs on an external hard drive or something? Do you keep EOBs? Do you need some kind of proof that you didn't already reimburse yourself for a medical expense?

I might be a little too Type A, but I worry that if I start doing this I'll be dealing with an IRS audit someday where they, perhaps rightfully, say that some random image on my hard drive isn't sufficient. What's good practice here?

Pridefest is coming up! I thought the location last year was decent, but having it at Unity Park makes sense. There's definitely more room there. And there's a surprisingly decent lineup of performers this year.

GitLab making big changes. AI taking jobs. Supposedly reworking the platform. "Machine-scale infrastructure". And git is being changed? I hadn't heard that. This guy could stand to write better. It's kind of a lot.

Dude's getting donations from people who aren't Democrats. Maybe he has a chance.

I'd like something practical and/or contemplative. Not design focused, per se. I really like those books that seem like they're from the 70s with hand drawn illustrations and an intentional living vibe. But also something that explains how houses work would be good.

I've found two that seem interesting:

Living on the Earth by Alicia Bay Laurel. Published in 1971. Very hippy. Very cool. But doesn't look to be directly about living in a home.

The Visual Handbook of Building and Remodeling. More practical.

I dunno. What would you suggest in gift form for a first time home buyer?

Are there any distinctive artists in Winona? People creating beautiful things here? Someone worth checking out?
