@velmus.bsky.social Glorious Fall colors from Luverne, MN. Hope you all are well this weekend despite the crapfest continuing in D.C. Praying for those in Washington state and in Florida. Wish the old FEMA was still around to help people, and a real President.

Great, Great crowd at the Sioux Falls #NoKings rally #LoveAmerica protest today! Over 7,500 lined Phillips Avenue downtown. Peaceful get-together, and when Trump faithful drove by, we chanted, "Love, not hate, makes America great!" Way to go, everybody!!!

I did the thing. I have been busy lately. Not posting much. After 30 radiation treatments, I am officially done. Huge surprise party of friends, family, and my pastor at the finish line for me. Little tear-eyed.

Post-op for my throat surgery. My doctor says "all clear," looks like they got it all!! 28 days of radiation coming up in my near future after some healing. Any prayers, good juju, vibes, whatever you've got, much appreciated! Thank you.

PET-CT scan came back. Malignant tumor found in throat near where my left tonsil used to be and lower. 3 cm x 2.5 cm. But NO metastasis anywhere, no other hotspots (scanned head to thigh) or lesions! (I also have CLL so I was worried) Surgery & radiation, but should be end of it. Deep sigh of relief

I need that Jedi mind trick about now. Today I found out I have throat cancer. My leukemia has sprouted a baby. Oncology team coming together on Monday to formulate a plan to let me know how to kick its ass as quickly as possible. Will update once mission is completed.

"Sorry, did you mean to add me to your group chain mail list? I seem to have been added by mistake. I received correspondence regarding something called, "Operation Overlord," scheduled for this upcoming June 6th. Is this to be kept hush-hush?"

It was a good trouble kinda morning into an early afternoon in downtown Sioux Falls! Deep red country, and thousands on hand! Very civil, very loud - and yet, it looked like a cross-section of America. Looked like we had taken everyone out of the grocery store and given them signs, they looked 1/2

On the Women's side after tonight, my bracket is 🔥 29/32 1st Round Games predicted correct. 15/16 2nd Round Games correct. So far, 4 for 4 in the Sweet 16. Have picked 18 straight WINNERS since Baylor lost to Ole Miss. Little nervous about JuJu Watkins' injury, however, vs KSU.

"I love you..."
You may have said it first, but I said it like I meant it. Cuz I did. You said it with a broken heart, I said it with an open heart. Now you sayin' it all the time, tryin' to make up for past crimes... But, I said it like I meant it - just say it with an open heart.

You're saved, California! Trump did it! He single-handedly made it rain, which of course means he "brought rain to CA from the Pacific Northwest."
"The days of putting a Fake Environmental Argument, over PEOPLE, are over," he said. "Enjoy the water, California!!!"

Damn, another musical hero lost. Beej, singer of "Love is the Law," as a member of The Suburbs - died yesterday after drowning in the Pacific Ocean. Absolutely loved The 'Burbs. Here's a link to the story: bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...
Rest well, Beej.
