Blood donation yesterday! I'm trying to get back to a regular schedule of donating like I used to. The nurse says I saved 3 lives today. I'm sure that is some statistic for how many pints are needed in the hospital per person, but the point is a good one!

Hike up to Mt Abe in Vermont on a rainy morning last Sunday. No views, but I still love the smells and the cloudy mystery on the peak! Afternoon hike on the trail partway up to Rocky Peak Ridge in the afternoon. I often do this trail in the Fall when the colors are beautiful here; still excellent!

I canvassed quite a bit for this fine person, Susan Crawford. So glad she won her election for Wisconsin Supreme Court. Last Sunday I was out in 33 degrees with rain and sleet! Well worth it. I also enjoyed talking to all sorts of voters. Congratulations Susan!

Beginning of sunrise from hill on Clinton Community College in Plattsburgh. The walk up and down the hill is good for a workout plus a beautiful view!

A beautiful day hiking to Cascade and Porter Mtns, which are probably two of the easiest to hike to. Too warm though! Nice to be back home again in the mountains and Lake Champlain area!😍

Especially after seeing the childish antics of Trump and Vance when meeting with Zelinsky.

Brunos Run in the Michigan Upper Pennisula near Munising. Not as much snow as most years in the past, but still it was tiring breaking trail! Nice being out in the snow and had nice lunch along the pretty Indian River.

I listened to judge Susan Crawford speak on Thursday night. She is so incredibly qualified for Wisconsin Supreme Court. I just donated to her campaign. You can too to continue Wisconsin on a path of returning to a functioning democracy and with courts that consider Wisconsin residents' rights!
