Crazy.
We are not where we live.
Or even where we were born.

I was born in California, but have never felt Californian.
Much more at home on the east coast.

Impressive.
You're most fortunate to have so much velvety goodness.

My garden in England had tons of moss.
California, unfortunately, zero moss where I am.
I get excited whenever I see it though. So beautiful.

Aaah, so no 'duvet day' for you after all.

I loved living in Westerham, Steve, but I like to see the sea every day. And the air is much better on the coast.

You're always welcome home.

Having lived on the Kent/Surrey border for 20 years (Westerham, Kent) I'm familiar with the places you mention, Steve.

Had I remained in England, I would have moved to Deal, Kent, on the English Channel, where my best friend lives.

I especially love the English coast and white cliffs.

Call for @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to resign immediately.

The eight Democrats who caved were likely blessed by these two spineless 'leaders.'

This would have never happened if the party had leadership.

Newsom/AOC ticket.
We need to pair a young progressive with someone who can win.

Indeed.
I'm aware.
It's likely they were chosen, with the others, by spineless Chuck, to cave.
This was orchestrated by the corporate Democrats who consistently fail the country.

Californians make the Golden State the world's 4th largest economy.

Stop funding the federal government and invest in the people here and now who need healthcare, food, housing, transportation.

We have the money. We can show the rest of the country how it's done.
