These are the people who deserve our respect and attention.. just ignore those women that just took an 11 minute joy ride into space for way too much money and are trying to make that somehow a noble and beneficial experience for the rest of us. Just go away.

Spring is just 28 days away! Can't hide from what's happening but can manage my feelings about it, at least occasionally. ❤️

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

Here we go with another potential snow/ice storm, anywhere from 3 to 10" in Pittsfield, and ice. The driveway is already an icy mess, even with yaktrax on. Will just have to stay in and read good books, drink good coffee, be with my very good love and my very good but bored dog. I'll manage! 😍

Trumpsters are the most ignorant people on the planet. He is cutting their throats along with everyone else's. If we ever figure out how to stop him, he will likely take his plunder and cut and run. My great niece is alive due to recent medical research. So many are being severely harmed. Alas..

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.
