Yes! He was a terrific congressman & will be a terrific governor.
New York, I’m not here to play the game. I’m here to change it.
I’m running to be your next Governor.

My brother just saw a picture of Stephen Miller on the news & said, "He fucking looks like a Nazi." I said, "Makes you want to punch him, right? Or in my case, knee him in the balls." (I'm short). "Well," he said, "you could stab him in the eyes with a knitting needle."

Comfort food. Many of us think.of comfort food as quick & easy to prepare.
I think of comfort food as something that ties me to my grandmothers' & their neighbors' kitchens. Comfort food is simple ingredients & easy but leisurely preparation.

On the pump today--8 infusions down, 4 to go, & I'm feeling so much better since they changed the regimen. My blood counts are good.
Simba & I walked 1/10 of a mile yesterday. This isn't a lot, but considering that I couldn't walk 20 ft a few short weeks ago, it's huge.

Another anthem from my childhood.
"For What It’s Worth" wasn't written as an anti-Vietnam War song--it was written to protest anti-loitering laws in Los Angeles. But given the times, it quickly became a protest song against the war & the crackdown against civil rights demonstrators.

Fiber isn't just wool or cotton. The Inca built an empire using rope to get up & down their rugged terrain.
On a much smaller scale, I give you kitchen scrubbies to replace nasty kitchen sponges.

Crows can carry a grudge for 17 years & pass that grudge to their offspring.
I'm pretty sure that works in reverse as well, because the first spring I was here, a crow brought me gifts of a wadded up piece of aluminum foil & a mangled fork.

I had 2 negative Cologuards. Although I was symptomatic, my PCP did not recommend a colonoscopy & would not refer me for one. I respected her expertise & did not fight.

The Epoch of Cheap Nature is over.
Food prices will never go back down. We need to get used to paying the real prices of food, water and materials.
Let the useless, wasteful industries of junk fail, and the great simplification begin.
