My Old Dog, much quieter at night now.
Slept in, has to be easier sleep for him!
Scratch as I woke, Big hug shared,
off to wait for breakfast and drink.
Seemed so much more alert as we wandered!
Found couple of sticks. Carried on home.
Life returning to normal, even his naps.

Time spent these dark days, Book in hand,
Cup of Joe, and an Old Friend, cone-less now.
Life has slowed, shadows of the past drift by,
if I allow it, ghosts of yesteryear walk across my mind.
Leaving little traces in the ruts of my path,
simply touch nerves or heart in passing!

When your primary interest is power and money, it makes a very difficult to support rule of law and the constitution.
Supporting power and money on a government leadership position is a recipe for disaster.

Find a way to add more electors. But "let the biggest population centers pick the president and basically erase state borders" - which is what would happen - is asking for trouble you cannot even imagine.

Federalism has been a giant cinder block around Trump's ankle on a lot of things. If you decide that federalism - of which the president and EC was supposed to be a symbol - sucks, then you'd better be ready to undo a lot of other stuff, too.

It appears that the peace deal proposed gives absolutely nothing to Ukraine!
Rewarding and aggressive dictator, just leads to more military threats from the dictator.

Kind of funny how days long gone,
Seem there when you visit!
But yesterday, or day before vanish,
like frost under bright sun!
Ducks fill the open water,
birds congregate at the feeders.
My old joints telling me Winter has come!
this time last year Mimbres, New Mexico.
