It sounded like he said his name is Matthew James Obediah (sp?). ICE goons have immediately blamed their murder victim claiming he had a gun. @aaron.rupar https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/DT5utZhiXN9

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Today is definitely a day for hunkering down. Temperatures will hover at or below 0°F all day, in spite of a clear blue sky and full sun. There are usually gangs of birds at my feeders, but this morning I’ve only seen a few brave juncos come down to grab a quick bite and then disappear up into […]

@MonaApp

I just paid $30 to upgrade from Mona 6 to 7. It seems to have imported all of my settings except one — hide boosts option. I prefer to not display boosts to keep my feed shorter. I had that set in version 6 but Mona 7 is showing boosts in my feed. I can’t find where to adjust that in […]

It’s been a week now since I’ve last seen the neighborhood blue jays, cardinals and woodpeckers that frequented my feeding station. I did see the goshawk again yesterday afternoon so I know it’s still hunting in the area. In fact, even the English house sparrows have been MIA lately. At least […]

At bed time I see there is freezing rain
Morning comes, I’ll have to shovel again
I step out the door
And crash to the floor
Now my poor back it throbbing in pain

I would add to your list, everyone who enabled trump’s return to power after the J6 insurrection. And that includes the right wing Supreme Court, Merrick Garland and all the dems who spent 4 years performing political kabuki until trump could run out the clock to avoid prison […]

We’re just home from a very pleasant evening out. Very out of character for a couple of oldsters like us on a Monday night. We went to dinner with our oldest grandson. He’ll be driving back to school in Dayton this Sunday and he wanted some alone time with us. He’s always been a good boy. And […]

It’s a bright, sunny morning after a few gloomy days with little bird activity. Our bluejays came by and called for me to put out some peanuts. I happily obliged and sat by the window to watch. It took only a few seconds before they came in to snatch them up. And as a bonus, a bright red […]

It’s been 3 days since my bluejays have come by to collect the peanuts I put out for them. I also noticed this morning that my 2 feeders have no visitors as well. I just saw the reason why. There’s a goshawk sitting on my nextdoor neighbor’s gutter. I don’t mind losing a sparrow, or 20. But I […]
