My belief is that this is the best kind of nature center (Briar Bush, Abington, PA) because it is in the neighborhood and reminds folks that they live in nature, even in a fairly dense inner ring suburb.

From our hike today at the Pennypack Ecological Trust; I don’t think I’ve ever seen white tailed deer with black ears. There were three of them.

The new talking point is that poverty, homelessness, and addiction exist because Democrats want to funnel money to lefty charities that continue the problem.
These are the same people who refuse to fund mental (or any) health programs because they think it is better left to private charity.

![From the Wikipedia article:
Young further addressed ICE agents' practice of wearing masks:
ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence. Small wonder ICE often seems to need our respected military to guard them as they go about implementing our immigration laws. It should be noted that our troops do not ordinarily wear masks. Can you imagine a masked marine? It is a matter of honor -- and honor still matters. To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police. Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it. “We can not escape history,” Lincoln righty [sic] said. “[It] will light us down in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation.” Abraham Lincoln, Second Annual Message to Congress (Dec. 1, 1862)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:adj77jngb5uwl5p3gndckzr7/bafkreihxtso7qnpjw6tdiswany4f22xu4zybrthwt2har3bsfal6uce35m@jpeg)

I don't think Bessent could take Pulte (on right), since ol' Bill is half his age, but I'd be willing to see it through.
Maybe they can use the UFC ring. .

Seriously, who decided that all gnomes were eyeless? Within the last 5 years, this transition began. Was there some factory somewhere where they decided this was the only style to be available. #oldmanrantsatgnomes

Try as I might, I can’t quit you 15 year-old REI vertical laptop bag with a Skooba strap from an even older bag. You are grungy and have seen a lot, but you’re still the best at what you do.
