Well, hello!
Good morning from the Blue Mountains.
As we begin, again, together, I thought perhaps a
welcome (or a warning?) would be in order:
I post on things that interest me.
Almost everything interests me.
I post on things I am thinking.
I think way too much.

This morning's sunrise over frosty grass reminded me of the Robert Frost poem "Fire and Ice"...
Winter is coming soon, bringing a new set of beauties, a new set of challenges, and a slower season filled with new memories to make.
Thank you, #Autumn. You have been lovely.

Who are we as a people when this type of disrespect and dehumanization is both common and commonly accepted from the man holding the highest office in the land?

I'll trade "interesting" for "sad."
Interesting that Marco Rubio used to post a Bible verse every morning for many years but stopped doing that as soon as he started working in the Trump admin. Probably worried about getting struck by lightning.

The pressure on air traffic controllers is real and growing with each day of this shutdown. It's dangerous.
Our federal govt is not only not protecting us from this huge risk; it's causing the risk.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Dick and Liz Cheney... The only Republicans to attend the Jan 6 memorial in the house;
He endorsed Kamala Harris for president.
I don't think there is a more extreme example of placing country over party. I hope his family finds comfort and peace in this time.

Cheney stood up against Trump after Jan 6, vocal and firm. Today MAGA voices are cheering his death. Don't be MAGA.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

There is nothing that demonstrates more strongly that America is firmly in a post-Christian era … than the fact that believers (even clergy) are arguing over whether hungry and marginalized people are worth feeding.

Though Satan breaks our dark glass into shards
Each shard still shines with Christ’s reflected light,
It glances from the eyes, kindles the words
Of all his unknown saints. The dark is bright

In whose house would these still be hanging around? I know I wouldn't eat them at this point if they were!
