I'm retired and living in Sydney, Australia.
I like my dog and noticing small bits of the natural world.
I'm interested in politics and think that the social democracies of scandanavia have a lot we can learn from to have a happy life

What benefit is there for australia from our aukus deal with this erratic, unstable ally?
Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

Trump railing against signs that were professionally manufactured and given to crowds to hold is hilarious.

Another fine morning and Otto enjoying the morning sun again.
The grass was not damp like it was yesterday so there's time time for a nap before the morning walk.

Yesterday there was another fine morning and Otto enjoyed the morning sun again.
He didn't want to lie down because there had been an overnight storm and the grass was still damp.

He only suns his belly for a short time just before coming back inside so I had to wait patiently to take this pic.

I think this Gymea Lily is the tallest one in the park now.
They are endemic to the Sydney region and can grow to 6 meters (20 feet) tall

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

The USA has lots of self taught, half baked, loud mouthed medical experts eager to take their places
While Kennedy once claimed that he was increasing the number of scientists and front-line workers, ProPublica found that more than 1,050 scientists, physicians and public health specialists left or were pushed out of the CDC from January to mid-August.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth.
It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.
Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

Not just an attack on “experts” or science. It’s an attack on facts, knowledge, education or anything that could support someone questioning their iron rule. The bedrock of totalitarian, authoritarian regimes and dictatorships. That’s what RFK Jr is calling for. Only the dictator knows “the truth.”
RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

And they wouldn’t let my girlfriend take a picture of their badges.
