Retired journo/writer, nana, NE based with ties to the EU. I won't be blamed for something some Dem might have done once. I foolishly believed we were old enough to know better than this. Warning: No profile/no posts=no folo. No starterpax! 🇺🇲🇳🇱🇫🇷🇩🇪
Nancy: Ask E. Jean. Ask about 1,000 women who have reported him as a sexual assaulter. He does not protect women. Short of assault, look how he treats women reporters and women leaders in the federal government. Too bad you can't ask Ivanna.

@kgardner.bsky.social You inspired me. I raided the fridge and came up with baby spinach, avocado, green peas, some leftover cranberry relish, sunflower seeds, walnuts, olive oil and apple cider vinegar.

Perhaps we should only make partial payments to the guys wrecking the White House.
You can stop, fellas! We're only paying you for part of the job so don't bother replacing that wall to the Lincoln Bedroom!
He'll manage. His bed has quilts. He should be okay until the snow flies. No problem.

Mine was powder blue. DCMP traffic cops used the same model, and a pack of them showed me how I could avoid ever getting a parking ticket by parking right smack on the line, behind or ahead of a parked car. I used my Vespa mostly to commute across town. One gallon of gas a month just about did it.

Even before CliffNotes, there was ClassicsIllustrated for literary work. As if all of life is a cartoon.

Gee, they would cut your throat and not even care about it. Kind of like this?

Right, they're all over the place. I have the Merlin app on my phone and Merlin ID's eagles by sound when I can't even see them. Our trees are so tall, they feel safe up there, I guess. There often are eagle nests on top of the tallest pine in this photo. Note the red kayak, to gauge height.

I love the new Maigret mystery series, based very loosely on Georges Simenon's classic sleuth. It really should be called How to Wreck a Marriage but Keep a Job, because it's clear Maigret's wife got pregnant while Jules was taking one of his urgent calls from Janvier. But, he's beautiful.

He's tearing down part of the original White House to build his stupid Mar-a-Lago lookalike ballroom so he can raise more money among his cronies without having to fly to Florida. I wanna cry.

A huge thank you to all those around the world who supported yesterday's No Kings effort, even those who live in countries the US government is trashing, and even those who live in countries with constitutional monarchies. From the bottom of our stepped-on hearts, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Some of my ancestors came to this land when it was Nouvelle-France and Nieuw Nederland. They were sent to work here by kings, but didn't go back. They stayed and built something new. A century later, their grandchildren joined the ARW to let Europe know "We don't do kings, here!"
Still holds!
Still holds!

Where can I find the radical left's reign of terror? It sounds kind of exciting. I missed the original in France, but if this is anything like the original, I'd like to photograph some of the key events.

Maybe flowers have fashion cycles, like everything else? I just saw a glorious yard filled with cosmos! You used to see mountain pinks in the spring, then tiger lilies, cliomes, zinnias and cosmos or other asters later in the summer, all over New England. Not anymore. I don't know why
