Hi! It's a cold Saturday morning in Ashaway RI. Neither our Basenjis nor I enjoy the cold but the Basenjis are stoic. I am not.

Snow tonight. Perhaps 3".

As the sun rose, minutes ago, the sky was red. Red sky in the morning...

If snow does accumulate here tonight the Basenjis will be delighted.

Ninnies with nukes,

trump, hegseth, & miller sit on a mountain of Megadeath weapons screaming "kill'em all."

Madness.

It's Saturday. I've been catching up on house cleaning and time with our Basenjis. The girls are in heat and the boys are restless. Understandable.

How are you doing?

Hi! I'm slowly learning how to navigate on my new $150 Acer laptop. I haven't recovered my files since I broke my home computer the day before the election. Give me time to get oriented to the changes.

Good Thursday, Linda!

An African elephant in Murchison Falls national park in Uganda, where USAID once supported efforts to combat wildlife crime.

GOOD MORNING!

Hot-air balloons in the air during the annual hot-air balloon festival, held since 1950 to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic holiday marking the end of Ramadan, in Central Java, Wonosobo, Indonesia.

I'm open to suggestions.

On Wisconsin!

Hi! That's me at the computer and, in front, Daphne, my Basenji caregiver.

I read a lot of political stuff and will try to share the best.

Like you I'm trying to get my bearings as a new order takes shape.
