Happy Thanksgiving from Michigan.

Happy Thanksgiving from Michigan.
In TX I had to listen to people bitch when a forecasted hurricane turned out to be milder than predicted and didn't kill anyone. In MI it's winter storms. Just be grateful if the prediction is off a bit but treat its arrival per the forecast so you'll be prepared either way. Not hard to do.

SW Michigan sounds rough outside this morning. Wind is here. Snow is coming. So glad I finished all the shopping yesterday. Now if I can survive as my wife's sous chef today and tomorrow it should be a nice white Thanksgiving.

Packing up my hotel to head home in the morning. Four months on the road is enough. Minnesota has been great but it's time to get home to prepare for the Michigan winter and enjoy coffee with my wife. I also miss my writing room and songwriting. Lots of that on my winter list.

MTG is batshit crazy in many ways but if she truly embraces the working people platform she keeps flirting with she will get the Bubba vote and be the next Gov of Georgia. I don't think she would be beatable. RW cultural bullshit mixed with God and working folks needs would lead to a landslide.

I've never been a big Christmas person, not in the commercial sense, but food and family are high on my list. I can embrace that part of the holidays. So, expect lots of Christmas posts from me this year. It's the first year in our 135 yo farm house in Michigan. Should be fun...and snowy white.

Fuck the Black Friday ads. It will be thrift stores and local shops for us this year. It helps that our sons prefer vintage items anyway. So, get ready western Michigan mom & pop stores. We're coming...🌲😃

Every time I watch this dumbass speak it just makes me despise his voters more and reinforces just how correct we were to move away from all of our MAGA family and acquaintances and start over. Life is too short for this level of ignorance.

I agree with @mrglobaltoo.bsky.social. Not saying working hard and some degree of discipline isn't important but if that's your whole fucking reason to get up then what's the point? Touch some grass. And quit trying to impress people. Just live a little.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social is back. I have to say that despite having grown used to her avatar over the past 8 years or so I do think her Johnny Cash version may better fit the times we're in. I could get used to that one...😃

Not that service members are more important than anyone else but food stamps have always been a thing in military families and in many of those families that produce much of our military. To wave a flag while starving these people is truly shitty. Fuck your "patriotism" if you support this bullshit

Looking through photos. Thinking of home. Headed back this weekend. Can't wait to wake up and look out my bedroom window at the deer each morning. It's my daily ritual. Coffee and the morning snow.

As a former soldier, I hate these mother fuckers. Thanks for your attention to this matter.
Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Y'all do know that the discharge petition just forces a vote huh? It then has to be voted on, then voted on in the Senate, and then <drum roll> signed by Trump. We're a long way from the release of the Epstein Files. They still have time to destroy more of them. If he signs it then he purged it.

Veterans Day has lost much of its meaning to me. I respect those who sacrificed and I was once proud of my own service. But, at this moment, it just seems like such a waste. No disrespect to my fellow Veterans but I know I didn't serve for this.

Fifty years ago, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank into Lake Superior.
I spoke with Tony Hall, a veteran who responded, about what he and his crew saw that night — and what it means to care for those who've served.
This Veterans Day, we honor all who served.
