I am sitting on the bench in the field. The sky is clear. 13C/54F. There’s a chance of rain in the next several days. But only a chance. this has been a very dry winter. Meanwhile, the dogs are running around and or digging holes and or sitting delicately. We have already lost two balls.

Good morning from NorCal. It's 5C/41F, overcast with some fog. All pets snoozing even Devil Cat. Visiting Cat came inside with me when I brought in the paper. Nothing like having a fluffy black cat run toward you in the dark, dark outside. I'm fine now. Today's tea is a white tea which I like.

WOW. So this is obviously a huge violation of this man's rights, and it illustrates a few things we're seeing broadly:

- DHS officers are ignoring peoples' IDs and instead requiring screening through their own systems
- Confirms @404media.co's reports of use of DHS's facial recognition app.

I’m sitting on the bench in the field. It is almost completely overcast. It is 12C/54F and I do not think I will sit here for long because it is quite cold. The dogs are running around Charlotte digging a hole somewhere. Lord Byron is up to no good. Jane is sitting delicately.

Good morning from NorCal. It's dark, foggy, and 6C/43F. Today's tea is White Peony Oolong. I like it. Jane, Charlotte, and Elderly Cat are snoozing. Lord Byron is in the kitchen with Dad. Devil Cat is up to no good. Visiting Cat not presently visiting. Have a wondrous day!

I am sitting on the bench in the field. 13C/55F it feels way colder. my face and my toes are freezing. The birds have a lot to say. the dogs are running around. My son is finally home. not sure how long I can sit here looking at beautiful green grass while my nose freezes.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Alas, my son is still in San Diego. They cancelled his flight which I guess is better than flying here only to turn around and come back. No hotel again but he's on a flight for this afternoon that we all hope will be unaffected by fog. He was supposed to be home Saturday. He's THREE days delayed.

Greetings from NorCal. It is dark, foggy, and 6C/43F. Met a skunk on my way to get the paper, but the critter went into the drainpipe and we neatly avoided each other. All pets snoozing except Lord Byron who is in the kitchen with Dad. My lapsang souchong tea is delicious. Have a terrific day!

Great disinformation explainer regarding vaccines. This wave of anti vaxxers is trying to kill humanity. Some of them might hear this doctor. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

I am sitting on the bench in the field. The sky is mostly blue. There’s a chill in the air. Current temp is 13C/55F. Charlotte’s digging a hole. Lord Byron has the zoomies in grass that will soon be taller than him. Jane has wandered out into the field. Time for a deep breath and some relaxation.

Greetings from NorCal. It's 6C/43F and VERY foggy. All dogs snoozing while on the alert for the sound of dropping food in the kitchen. Devil Cat is sleeping on the clean towels. Visiting Cat is here. Elderly Cat is snoozing on top of the dogs. I have strong coffee and am already thinking of more.

I’m sitting on the bench in the field. It is overcast. current temp is 13C/54F. It feels much colder. charlotte’s digging a hole, Jane is sitting delicately, Lord Byron is up to no good. Birds are chirping. I’ve spent most of the day on photos to convince our carrier to renew our insurance.

A quick good morning from Norcal. It’s 3C/37F and foggy. I had to take my son to the airport this morning. Got back just in time for work back to it. Have a great day.

Uh oh. the dogs have discovered the temporary location of the deceased gopher and now I have to get everybody inside so I can go bury it before they get to it.
December 5, 2025 at 12:29 AM
I am sitting on the bench in the field. Janie is so proud of herself because she has a dead gopher (someone else’s kill. I think) I managed to convince her to put it down for a treat and it’s now out of her reach, but I gotta go bury it later. RIP gopher.
It’s sunny and cold and feels damp

Morning cheers from NorCal! It's partly cloudy with a full moon and 3C/37F when I went to get the paper. Lord Byron is whining at me. Jane, Charlotte, and Elderly Cat are snoozing on the bed. I have delicious Sentinel Mountain tea. To everyone who isn't a fascist, have a terrific day!
