Early morning meeting of the F.F. Squirrel Watchers Club.

Benjamin Franklin commenting on this week's Torah portion (Korah) - which also happens to have been my son's bar mitzvah torah portion. Very timely for this Independence Day.

Every Thursday from 7-7:30pm.

My sign tonight says:

DO NOT DESPAIR
MAKE GOOD TROUBLE

With the mayor of Great Neck Plaza at the unveiling of the Pride banner, 6/6/25.

In 2023, I spoke at a village meeting and asked why nothing is done to acknowledge Pride month. A week later, a banner appeared. Now I get invited to the unveiling every year and I'm proud to be there.

Shaina is not amused to see Smokey on the other side of the window. He remains unperturbed... He is one cool cat. He just appears like the Cheshire Cat every morning and early evening. And he doesn't want to come inside... he just likes to look!

The news is just so awful these days, even Ziggy has his head between his paws.

Smokey's on the outside looking in. He doesn't want to come in, he just likes to see how the other half lives.

He's got a heated shelter and a feeding station with heated pet bowls. He comes every day, sometimes twice a day.

Be kind to feral cats. They didn't ask to live outside.

On Wednesday 2/5/25, I joined over 200 people rallying at Senators Gillibrand and Schumer's Long Island offices in Melville. WCBS-TV covered it but I like this raw video from one of the protesters more: www.reddit.com/r/50501/comm...

Keep making calls. Keep showing up.
Do not obey in advance.

12 years since Sandy Hook and still, we're mourning lives lost to mass shootings.

➡️Over 1.2 million Americans shot
➡️480,000 killed by guns
➡️5,400+ mass shooting incidents.

NO MORE "thoughts and prayers". We want action.

Yogi and Booboo's owner died, so a family member took them in. Tragically, that family member has now died and these two beautiful bonded senior gals are in need of a loving indoor-only home.

Located in Long Beach, NY. Contact info in FB post.
