One of the ways news media often fail us is by giving us the microscopic rather than the telescopic view. Everything I mention in this essay is well-documented, but the dots are mostly not connected to make visible this death by a thousand cuts our country is undergoing.
Ah, Spring
Yes, definitely union busting is bad. I was merely commenting on the seeming majority of people who say they will never go to Starbucks because they hate the coffee. They aren't saying "I love the coffee, but I'm going to make sure they know it is their policy towards unions that I hate."
It is funny that people are slamming Starbucks for closing stores when the same people are also saying they stopped going to Starbucks years ago. If they don't have the business, they can't keep the stores open. I'm not saying this in support of Starbucks, just an observation on market conditions.
I have one too. It's my office music source and it plays 24/7 quietly in the background.

Everything was interesting and if I could have, I would have continued the exploration topic possible. Ended up with jobs/careers in all of the above except the law enforcement. Each field informed the other.
Thanks for the reminder, it was on my to do list but I was procrastinating. We're expecting over a foot of snow on Sunday and below freezing temps. The perfect time to be in my garden room sowing seeds and thinking of Spring!
I think the people who like good French wines are not the same people who would buy that other wine
Just upgraded to Mac OS Tahoe. Nothing to do with the os, but aaah I’m loving the beautiful and peaceful look of the default screen of Lake Tahoe. I miss going to that lake.
Sitting in my office chair with my grandson on my lap and my grand-dog squeezed in behind me with her head on my shoulder. Add in my daughter for a group hug and it is perfection.
Really good chocolate is always kept close at hand.
Myself and all my siblings grew up as avid readers and going to the library to get a stack of books was one of the most looked forward to outings. So let's start posting more about the interesting books we are reading. I'm adding it to my to do list!
A new year dawning. Happy New Year!
I always love that the deer tracks look like the tracks of cross country skiers. This am in the Catskill region of New York
Good morning!

An ancient lilac at our inn that was built in 1889.
Their qualifications to be a representative of the people needs to be questioned. "Don't you think that being unaware of current events is disqualifying for the job that you have? People are depending on you to know what is going on in this country." Step aside if you aren't up for the job.
No I hadn’t but looked and saw that I already follow a bunch who use it! Thanks!

First decent snow of the season. I love to wander the gardens to see how the snow has decorated the plants. This makes me think of a porcupine

Medicare has a bad rep for some (it's been good for me so far - dramatic lower cost than regular insurance). Better to start calling it something like Universal Healthcare or American Healthcare to get everyone on board with it. "Be a patriot and vote for health care for everyone!"
Word of the Day: MUMPSIMUS – someone who obstinately sticks to their old ideas in spite of evidence that they are wrong.
Some marvelous trees on our inn property in the Catskill region of New York. The red October Glory takes its name seriously and at this time of year is practically glowing.

Garden color. The last of the snapdragons, this one pretending to be from another plant.
“Untethered to the facts” is putting it nicely…
