Life in Dad Land - tales of dementia from the inside
Dad is in his 80s, has a non-Alzheimer's dementia, and is otherwise healthy. He's been living with me since early 2020.
Various tales include whatever his current obsession is, such as A Door Into Summer, No Spiders!, and Why Can't I?

So, these armed felons from January 6, 2021 are “just tourists!”
But an ICU nurse defending a woman who ICE pepper-sprayed and pushed to the ground was a “domestic terrorist “!

Edith Clarke, the first female electrical engineer in the US, invented a calculator (the Clarke calculator) to solve electric power transmission problems, a precursor to modern smart grid technology. It was patented in 1925. #WomenInSTEM

We missed yesterday due to ill health but it's a fav so here it is today.
On 25 Jan 1890, Nellie Bly arrives back in New York to huge crowds, becoming the first *person* to circumnavigate the world in less than 80 days (she took 72).

This morning I made some paths in the snow for the dogs - they checked them out, but decided the patio is the place to potty. Paths are for RUNNING!
Shoveled up a few days of crap and tossed in an empty flower pot for later removal (it's a broken one, so...)

Braved the roads because the news said most were clear. Still bitter cold, still snowing.
And still a ton of slush and snow everywhere near me. Fiance spent an hour digging us out from a snowplow pass which did not clear the street, just got us back to a 2 lane street (in some parts.)

If you didn’t call your senators already to demand a no on tomorrow’s funding vote, what’s stopping you from doing it today?

It's not radical to think every vote should count.
It's not radical to think every constituency should matter.
It's not radical to think 34% of the vote is not a landslide.
It's not radical to want to vote for the party you truly support.
It's common sense. #PRnow
