Mostly harmless. I like to post helpful, or at least not hurtful things. Mostly what strikes me in the moment. There are many places where people are shouting from the pulpit. This is not one of them. I like to laugh and be inspired by what I read.
Even though the leaves have mostly fallen, it still remains a lovely day. The wind off the water makes it feel much cooler and the winter sun has no heat. I am not fooled. Hope your day is just as sunny and pleasant.

View from the office today. Looks pleasant, but don't let appearances fool you. It's a balmy 39 Degrees outside. However, inside, with a warm cup of coffee, the view is really nice!

This fella says hi to me every morning at the office. Not too plump yet so it might be a mild winter this year?

Pictures from yesterday's walk. The fall colors are really beautiful right now.

Social media is shattering America's understanding of Charlie Kirk's death
There is a deep schism in how Americans understand the assassination that took place a little more than a week ago and that gap is being widened by social media.

Just a picture from the other day to remind myself that regardless of how I might feel in the moment, life is neutral and magnificent all on its own.

This is my 95-year-old neighbor. He's been living alone since his wife passed away from cancer, and not long ago, he also lost his loyal companion dog. Now, every day, our chicken Hei Hei escapes the yard just to visit him. She sits with him, accepts treats, and lets him pet her like an old
