Ha! Spoke to soon. Had a fire kick off around 5pm at "Mayfield" near #Braidwood, was out on the fireground until 4am this morning. Cool change is helping contain it.

Catherine (tall, long blonde hair) standing in a wintery field by a large old rusting telescope. The golden setting sun is illuminating the trees in the distance.
A splendid cold walk to Fiddlers Gill to see the fab but rusting Victorian #Braidwood Telescope! Once part of the now long-gone Lanark Observatory, its optics are safe at the Lanark Museum. Sadly I see no hope in restoring this beauty tho, that's been long-abandoned in this field ☹️ #histsci 🔭🏴

On the left are three large NSW Rural Fire Service trucks, the caption above reads "what my internet friends think I'll be driving in the RFS". On the right, some distance from the trucks is a small firefighting truck the size of a farm utility, underneath is the caption "Reality" with a laughing emoji.
Last weekend I completed and passed the #NSWRFS "Rural Fire Driving" course, and this weekend I completed and passed the "Off Road Driving" course.
I learnt so much - but it would not have been possible without the encouragement, support, and training from my brigade. #Braidwood

One side in #Braidwood was intent on eliminating access for a specific population, those at risk of HIV, but it often is, an attack on some ends up being an attack on all. We appreciate #SCOTUS did not strike down preventive care for 170 million Americans.
Amidst the #Braidwood victory, the caution is that decision does reaffirms the authority of the HHS secretary's ability to control the Preventive Task Force's membership and decisions--so patients are right to worry if Secretary Kennedy will undermine these protections.
For over 170 million Americans, the #Braidwood decision today preserves (for now) their access to the #ACA's guarantee that preventive care will be covered without cost-sharing, including screenings for cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, HIV, depression, and substance abuse...
The AAMC applauds the Supreme Court’s decision in the Braidwood case, protecting no-cost access to preventive health care for 150M+ Americans—including cancer screenings, heart care, mental health screenings for kids and more. #ACA #Braidwood
Approximately 100 million people in the US access $0 cost sharing preventive services every year. www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/preven... #Braidwood #Healthcare #Preventive

Upholding the lower court ruling in #Braidwood could see insurers impose costs on patients to receive the dozens of screenings and other care currently mandated by the task force, or refuse to cover them entirely, noted Andrew Twinamatsiko to Roll Call.
On Monday, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in #Braidwood — a case challenging the ACA’s preventive services requirement. @medpagetoday.bsky.social highlighted Andrew Twinamatsiko and @katie-keith.bsky.social’s analysis on what the justices’ stances may be. www.medpagetoday.com/publichealth...
Yesterday, #SCOTUS heard oral arguments in #Braidwood for the first time.
