While I know it may be difficult to find things to be thankful for, I'm thankful we have this platform and can leave the bird app. Also thankful for friends and family (including those with feathers and 4 legs!) Happy Thanksgiving y'all! And as tradition dictates: www.youtube.com/watch?v=m57g...

I had visitors again last evening at 5:52 PM. It was windy as all hell but they don't seem to mind!

Giving NC some hope here...

When will the red counties of WNC realize that the state legislature didn't provide the requested support for those seeking relief from Helene? Probably never. My Rep. from my blue county calls them out and Gov. Cooper already called out their "power grab." www.ednc.org/house-passes...

Sunday musings: I've noticed a lot of finger pointing between "red" and "blue" states. There are magats in blue states and libs in red ones. Point being, dividing us further isn't helpful and, in fact, alienates people we need to take our country back from the orange twatwaddle. Just my opinion. 😉

I was talking with a neighbor today. She lost her business in Helene. I said, well at least we still have SS and Medicare for now and she responded that nothing will happen to them. When told of the Senators videoed saying they will reduce it, she said they were misquoted. That is why we are here.

Ok so this fall has been a major downer. Starting on 9/26ish, Helene hit my hometown. After 2 weeks with no power, 3 weeks with no internet and still no drinkable running water, I am one of the lucky ones. Lots of help and time to repair all of WNC.

Then November. I mean, can't we catch a break?

Leaves from my front patio looking up towards the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Yes, it's that time of year! The leaf people/limb lookers are here enjoying it as well. Great places to visit in W. NC. This gallery of pictures is amazing! www.citizen-times.com/picture-gall...

This is the youtube link for Trae Crowder, the Liberal Redneck, rational on how The House GOP is Incompetent. 100% correct and worth the listen. youtu.be/t_UM3dfQpzk?...

So...we are getting fired upon in the Persian Gulf and the House GOP STILL wants to bully everyone into making Gym the Speaker. This country is screwed with this current GOP.

Ok so, not that I like to relish someone's failure BUT I see it as a win for Democracy that Gym appears to have failed again at his Speaker attempt. He lost 2 votes since yesterday. Awwww Sad. Bigly. Hehehehehehehe

Good morning and thanks for the warm welcome! I think I've followed everyone back but if I've missed someone, it wasn't intentional! Just let me know and I'll correct it.

New here but was on the dead bird thing for 13 years. Hoping to build up with blue 🌊 folks..the ones who didn't fall for the con man.
