Old, opinionated lady with a dog, a cat, and a good heart.
At this moment, the rain has paused, and the wind is calm. One of my neighbor's trees came down sometime last night.
Most local news stories this morning were about the flooding. It would be a change from the usual shootings if it hadn't been for Australia and the Brown campus.

12 dead at a mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.💔
A 43-year-old father of two, Ahmed al Ahmed, snuck up & tackled a gunman to disarm him. Ahmed was shot twice.
Both Jewish & Muslim faiths teach that “to save one life is to save all humanity.” Let us hold fast to our humanity.❤️

Blurb for my morning: Pill drops on shag rug under watchful eyes of dog and cat. Much hilarity ensues.

Because it’s not getting reported on enough:
Muslim fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed, father of two, was the hero who bravely tackled one of the Bondi Beach shooters and took away his gun.
He saved lives during a major terror attack. Say his name, and honor the lives of the victims of the shooters

Horrified by the terrorist attack in Australia targeting Jewish people celebrating the first night of Hanukkah.
Antisemitism has no place in this world.
As so many light their candles tonight, we’ll come together to pray for a future where the light will triumph over darkness.

The horrific tragedy at Brown University is the 389th mass shooting this year and the 230th gun incident on school grounds so far this year.
This is not normal and we don't have to live this way.

I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?
baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years
“more airtime” is hilarious

Every river in the state is flooding, some higher than since recording began. It's warm enough so that rain falling high in the mountains, instead of the snow they would normally get, is continuing downhill to become winter runoff. Some bridges no longer visible.
Landslides predicted.

Many men know they can't compete if the playing field is level. My best friend (RIP) had a plaque on the wall of her corner office that said: "To be considered equal, women must be twice as smart and work four times as hard as men. Luckily, this is not difficult."

I just signed the contract for eight devotionals for Guidepost. I have a couple of weeks before I start writing them. I shall use the time to vegetate nicely.
