After a short, drizzly walk, I settled in my chair with my fishie. There was a squirrel out there teasing us. Squizzers 🙄

RFK has been in hearings for the past two weeks. I saw this still from today’s HELP Committee hearing (this covers things like health, vaccines, and budget cuts) and it felt like it summed up everything that’s going on pretty well.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

Here’s some more footage of the Dugong. Not the best video, I wanted to keep some distance and didn’t center the camera enough.
You can see he/she is accompaneed by 2 Shark Suckers (Remoras).
Estimated 2.5m (8ft) and probably at least 500kg (1100lb)

Patricia told me I should eat more vegetables, so I could lose some weight.
Then I showed her the video of the Dugong…..case closed.
Goede nacht vrienden! 😘

Being a blond Labrador means you have to stay out of the sun or you’ll turn brown.
Well….that’s how it works with humans……

Today’s towel art.

Final snorkel trip before going home.

Yesterday I was alone when I saw the Dugong, but today Patricia saw him/her too. So impressive!!
And we saw several Sea Turtles too, accompanied by Blue Dotted Rays. Very successful trip, only 200m from our hotel.

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Thank you!
Only 1 more day and then back to The Netherlands…. 2 Weeks fly by.

An adorable raccoon.

Congratulations 😁❤️

We’re in Egypt and knew they live here, but we were in the same location 2 years ago, went snorkeling every day for 2 weeks but never saw one. Only dozens of turtles. Now on our 10th day here we were finally lucky.

I won the jackpot: a rare Dugong (sea cow). They look a bit like Manatees but aren’t related. They are far relatives of Elephants and they are HUGE!

Block them. Many years ago on Twitter I found about 70 suspicious new followers and back then you could trace their IPs . Many were in Eastern Europe so I blocked them all

Ok

Happy Birthday 🎂🎈🎁🎉🥳🎊💐🏆❤️🫂

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

We owe each other a country where at least the things that two-thirds of Americans can agree on actually get done. When something is broken in this country, we have to do what it takes to fix it.

Thank you, Tulsa, for the warm welcome back - and for showing us what a better future looks like.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

Absolutely incredible.
