Not going to platform Tucker Carlson in any way but I was not expecting the MAGA off-ramp to be "Perhaps he is the actual antichrist and we have been led astray by false demons.'

My ruffly black retriever mix with her head tilted to one side. Anxious look has something to do with the possibility of cookies.

I have been reliably informed that dog pictures ~do~ make a positive difference in the world. Tulip is all ears . . .

I feel like getting on a plane to Budapest......just to experience what it feels like to get rid of a dictator.

What a difference just a few days make. The pond is thawing quickly. Expect to hear/see wood frogs in the water any day now. They usually hop in while there is still ice on the surface.

Grampa’s not going to get any better at driving in the next two weeks. Time to take the keys away.

Failure.

Failure.

Tigger came back when it rained! He knows where our front porch is!

I will never forgive Trump supporters. Ever. Never.

The only question that should remain is how they could ever even think to forgive themselves.

Coming back from my hike yesterday: the mountain in the distance partially obscured by trees is Monadnock Mt. in Vermont.

Baby PK is missing.
