Cribbed this cut from Fear and Loathing, but I'm repeating my comment!
(OK, yeah, sometimes I crack me up))

I replied "It's not often you see the Third Commandment enforced in real time" ;)

Visiting with my neighbors out on the street - we're all in our 70's, so quite aware of how we resisted in the 60's-70's.

Tell me again why we shouldn't call ICE agents jack booted Gestapo?

Sadly, BlueSky limits at too many characters so this is what I captured from FB (which I expect the bots will flag) and the link I referenced.

I'm finding BlueSky incredibly annoying lately. The character limit seems insanely restrictive.

Here's a fun craft for July 4th parades! Use Red, Blue, and White (or Silver) glitter - to show your patriotic support for our hard working agents (who can't afford proper uniforms!)

So if the administration somehow is able to overturn 'birthright citizenship' (14th Amendment) would that mean Marco Rubio would have to be deported to Cuba?

Given that rogue elements have gained access to our Social Security Numbers and other personal information, everyone (millions of you) should follow these steps immediately:

So far BlueSky is OK, but I noticed I'm getting followed by (supposedly) women, with thousands of followers but no posts. I really hope BlueSky would have been able to weed out stuff like that.... ;(

Saturday, a group of dedicated musicians (bell choir and chorus) from our church performed for two local retirement homes.

In particular, this facility also has a Memory Care unit, and many folks from there were able to come and listen.

It was a pretty amazing thing to see and hear.

Stumbled upon this very sweet Christmas movie - 'That Christmas'

As the Grinch said "Maybe Christmas doesn't come from the store"

Fun movie, great story - might not be a dry eye in the house at the end (but, tears of joy)

Here's how the next 4 years have to go.

Packed up our Operation Christmas Child (Samaritans Purse) boxes tonight.

I dislike most of Franklin Graham's political positions, but I love that kids in impoverished countries get gifts and encouragement from folks in churches.

"Matt Gaetz withdraws" might be the unintentionally funniest headline I've seen in a long time ;)

In the vein of 'I haven't been paying attention to things that don't affect me' - heard from a friend that their trans son is seriously concerned about going to Florida next spring for a family event, because if he had a need for medical care, it could become a serious problem. Is he wrong?#medsky

Finished binge watching Lincoln Lawyer 1,2,3.
(Recommended by my brother)
It has some of the best writing, casting, and cinematography of any series in recent memory.
Selfishly hoping for a 4th season.

We went to see 'The Best Christmas Pageant Ever' with friends tonight - highly recommended.
Now a part of my pantheon of great Christmas movies.

Bluesky was suggested by folks on @threads, so here I am.
Here is a picture of the potatoes I planted last summer - harvested in my small plot in Juneau, AK.
First try at potatoes (I usually do only garlic) but my next door neighbor gifted me some to try. Turned out OK, might try again!
