If you are in WA, read the thread for just how many problematic sheriffs we have.
(plus, ugh, Fortney is trying to get back in to SnoCo)

Good morning basalt

Plausible and grim

Too good

Got to the garden plot, need to set it aside till tomorrow

My favorite sandstone

Love reading the nominee lists Hugo, Nebulas, Locus, BSFA to help me focus on new authors, who did I miss even hearing about this year 📖📚

definitely, ever since I was reading chapter books in grade school in the early 60s. Miss Pickerell Goes to Mars (a retired librarian & her cow), CS Lewis, the Gammage Cup, the Hobbit, Andre Norton (started w Three Against Witchworld), The Lord of the Rings, Earthsea, Heinlein, the 60s new wave

The trump administration has dreamed of ways it can steal from the American people. They’ve believed they could get away with it, and since he’s taken office, they’ve been acting on it.

🙏

Looking good!

Greens in the northwest forest. Ferns, moss, cedars, fallen logs, maybe some invasive archangel. A shallow stream under goes under a very mossy tree root. Everything is wet.

Chores done, back from groceries. Drinking coffee too late in the day under a rain roof overlooking the intermittent stream. The cow next door is not outside complaining. Peaceful but chilly.

Just baffling

Something about people who studied totalitarian authoritarian regimes and thought, why that seems like a good way to run things. Grrr

Bees!

Oh that looks good

Boo Reuters.

Light rain early, then a little sun

That difficult time of the year when I want to unstore lightweight clothes but I still might need my basic winter coat

Oh no, Ro. Hoping they get things sorted out

Enormously cute and great name

🙈

Hey WA / Columbia River friends 😵‍💫

But at least we got to the next call back stage 🎉

Raining here, pretty steady.

Awful

Today was supposed to be once a week drive to town for groceries but instead doing social security phone calls and uploading documents on our intermittent internet.
