Quiet.
Reflective.
Nature’s beauty.

A photo looking out onto a calm lake from a canoe. The paddle lays across the front of the canoe pointing toward the shoreline which is lined with various species of conifers. They reflect in the calm waters of the lake. The sky has large puffy white and grey clouds which are also reflecting in the water.

Is there a reason it’s not called — No Dictators Protest?
It seems to me that it would send a clearer message.

My eldest learned to knit from the lake neighbor. Her first project with some brown yarn the neighbor gave her turned into an Iowa-shaped pot holder 😂🤣😂.

Now she turns out caps, mittens, socks, sweaters, like a pro.

Sadly, most of his smooth brained Homo ignorami cult followers don’t realize it either. Thats the point.

Got all the outside work done e yesterday. So it’s out for some trail walks before or in between the rain and I might even start on a puzzle. Tis the season.

A very interesting summation of why this Naked Mole Rat has such a long and vibrant lifespan despite being ugly as sin. 😁

It’s their endgame, and it won’t make America healthier it will make them sicker and poorer. Listen to the doctors and scientists when it comes to your health, not some Charlatan like Dr. bOZo selling his tinctures from the back of an ass-pulled wagon.

Very dramatic, Jean.
We’re here waiting for the storm, which the radar says should already be here dumping rain. I hope you have a restful day watching the rain.
