Yesterday as I was driving back to my very urban home, I came around the corner and there was a bald eagle sitting in my neighbors driveway. It looked at me for a few seconds (with my mouth hanging open) and then it flew off. I do live on a lake but have never seen that in all the 40 years here.

Trump Threatens to Cut Off Money to NYC if Zohran Mamdani Wins. Perfect! finally New York state has a valid reason to cut off tax dollars to Trump regime. We need other Blue states to follow to strangle the Trump regime so has no $! Blue states make, red states take!

Farmers get so much financial help it's ridiculous. Example was my very old Uncle was getting govnmt cks for growing alfalfa for a couple of race horses he had. His whole farming life they took those subsidies as much as they could. Later on he mostly grew peppermint for the oil.

Add Sinclair to that list. Sinclair still isn't going to let it air on Seattle ABC affiliate.

Janis @jkron.bsky.social · 18d

It's not returning to Sinclair's ABC Seattle affiliate. 😠

Janis @jkron.bsky.social · 18d

They still aren't going to show Kimmel on Seattle ABC's affiliate. 😠

I'm going to get mine, again, next week. I've had covid 3 times. Once when I'd just finished chemo. If I'd not had the vaccine I likely wouldn't have lived through it that time. So yeah FUCK RFK.

I think I'm going to watch it again. Very good movie.

There was an ad on NBC this morning about hiring more ICE agents. $50,000 signing bonus. 😠

Janis @jkron.bsky.social · Sep 11

All I can think of to say is WOW!

Janis @jkron.bsky.social · Sep 10

It's thrilling isn't it? I live in Puget Sound area and we were on our boat this summer and after many attempts I finally managed to see humpbacks, orcas and dolphins all in one day and on our last day before getting home. I seem to always miss them. 🎉

If you are in the area in WA State come join us, the more the better. :-)

I'm thinking it must be different state by state? I have never heard of a waiting list in WA state either. I know kids in foster care and ward of the state are covered by it.
