Kids are hungry because parents are scared to go outside to shop.

Now I'm watching cross-country skiing.

My Dad used to do that! For fun only.

We lived a walk away from a big college campus. He used to go there when it would snow.

Sense this makes: 0
The previous president was forced to drop out of running for re-election because of concerns over cognitive decline, all while sounding far more coherent than this.
"Helicopter pilots were wounded pretty badly in the legs landing on the couple of machine gunners seemed to have make it through a thicket of bombs. But they were taken out rapidly by our snipers who stationed on platforms. Hellu-- actually unbelievable, helicopter platforms all the way the line"

We lost Andrew Ranken yesterday.

He was the drummer for Irish folk punk legends The Pogues.

Now he's up there having beers with his friend Shane MacGowan.

Play some of his music really loud.

Mall optometrist Dr. Len Scrafters can be a real tool, but he's been making sense and defending the rule of law. He's one of the few Republicans doing so, along with Thomas Massie.

@gabyhinsliff.bsky.social incisive as ever: ‘Threatening to put #universities out of business – with all that would mean for students halfway through their degrees, or towns reliant on a major employer – if they don’t fawningly accommodate any regime-backed political nonentity…’ #Reform #Bangor

Went for another walk today.

Another 15 minutes or so.

It's good to do it in that way.

Break up a walk into two parts a day.

I got 5,700 steps. Much better than my usual title.

I've been off exercise lately, but I've been adding a few walks here and there.

Rode my bike 2x this week. :)

Lasted 20 minutes. Also did some walking earlier in the day.

Yesterday I was indoors all day, being sick.

Went to art class this morning, felt a lot better.

Went to lunch with Mom. Had a veggie burger. It was goood.

I still have not grown a new plant.

It's been a while.

Growing things is fun. I like making things live.

I like seeing things burst out of the soil like Godzilla bursting out of the ocean.

I firmly believe that opening more clinics is the best way to help people get off of drugs.

There are clinics now, but many have a waiting list. Let's open enough that nobody needs to wait.

I've read that about 24% of Americans use hard drugs.

They need help. It's time to help them.
