Got my new hat before the tariffs set in.

Trump’s Government Is Built on Secrecy The ‘flood the zone’ strategy is designed to grab attention. The real work is being done far from public view.

Yuppadoodle. We'll soon be a fascist country with newfangled Gestapo on every block and farm, monitoring our allegiance to this poor rendition of Hitlerness in our beautiful modern America. Better load up on ammo and foods.

My goodness gracious, just hearing whiffs of the news, trying not to, I'd like to be news free for the next four years just breezing along feeling fine, not caring about anybody elses' but my behind, but reality keeps flooding in, disallowing non-interaction with everything around me.
Go figure :-)

New Gary Burton Quartet-though it's old now-enjoy your Monday Night from Beautiful Suburban Felton!

Just discovered my beloved dog Scarlet the Harlot scrolling through my posts by licking my iphone screen..
Does Scarlet know how to read my posts?
Does she know the password to my bank account?
Why am I receiving all these dog related deliveries to my house that I have not ordered.
What's going on?!

‘This Is a Dangerous Virus’ (Gift Article) A bird-flu pandemic is far from inevitable. But health experts are closely monitoring an outbreak that could quickly escalate among people.

FYI-Keeping up with the Bird flu, since the FDA ain't reporting on it now, and it's THE reason eggs are so expensive.

Who knows, I wouldn't want to be that young man regardless of his status as a US citizen.
I wish him well.
What I also wish is logical proposals to amend the birthright citizenship status--maybe change the law to be similar to New Zealand's, where at least one parent already has to be a citizen.

deliveries coming

I've responded personally with a bunch of specific saved google & other searches that will hopefully grab any mention of avian flu outbreak anywhere in the USA, certainly around me. I have flocks of very different birds park themselves periodically on my land during the year; & I'm an egg slut.

Saved a new google search today
Avian flu outbreak USA (etc)
to keep abreast of the severity of the outbreaks around us
since the FDA will stop making press releases about it shortly.
I'm an Egg Slut, so I want to know if my local eggs may be infected.

Happy Friday!
I'm free to approach my weekend with full clarity & range of possibility- the kitchen builders have left our house until Monday, soon I'll hoot and holler with abandon, make glorious human sounds that echo about the valley, apprise the furry animals of my existence hanging out here

TGIF!

Happy Thursday Evening to y'all

speaking of USA birthdright citizenship, why hasn't anyone looked at say, New Zealand's recent birthright citizenship rule for guidance.

remember this?
