Terribly sad that we can afford only this one small bed for both dogs. If only we had, say, at least three other dogs beds, including a large comfy one in this very same room. Tragic.

It’s hard to overstate just how NOT war-torn Portland actually is. Photo courtesy of my neighbor, who braved the ravening hordes and dodged all the burning buildings and broken glass and Antifa warriors 🙄 on her way to a peaceful paddle.

Thank you for posting about this! I am sharing my pic here but I don’t want you to share an embarrassing fact, so count this is a -1 if you can 😉

Strong message from @oregonfoodbank.bsky.social regarding the recent budget bill abomination.
Thank you for your advocacy and for calling out Rep. Bentz, who needs to answer to his constituents for his vote in favor of the bill.

When you’ve lost the Cato Institute … 😳
“For instance, ICE terminated the legal status of international student Suguru Onda for a dismissed fishing-related citation. The same thing happened to Akshar Patel, another international student, with a dismissed reckless driving charge”

A mouse (I assume) has been digging up and stealing everything I plant in my greenhouse. For weeks. Today I found this little stash of purloined legumes. I know they were not returned to me, per se; this was meant as just a ”safe” stash spot. Little bugger of a thief has been working hard!

Sorry but you’re wrong it’s not hard to provide your own food, and tonight’s frittata proves it. First, plant 35 crowns of asparagus 5 years ago so you can harvest today, and then get about 20 mature laying hens right away so you have the eggs. Don’t forget to buy goat cheese last week. #easy #lol

I made my effort to protect democracy today! Using 5 Calls makes it easy. Join me and get this effort to 5 million calls to protect the Department of Education and kids and schools like the ones I work with.

Our NYE tradition os staying home and having appetizers for dinner. This year I created mini Monte Cristo sandwiches for Monte Cristo-loving college daughter. These are about 2 bites. I made the bread from an enriched dough in a hot-dog bun mold. They are so cute; I’m giddy.
