Made good use of my insomnia last night- Mateo & I finally migrated over here. Started finding some of my dog & hiking peeps- hopefully will find more of my old travel folks.

What’s their legal exposure, given that the proper approval hasn’t been undertaken?

We’ve been on a wild last-minute short road trip. Mateo has decided he wants to take Amtrak home 😜

A blond cocker spaniel lying on the train platform. The concrete canopy overhang alongside the tracks says “Prince” in Art Deco-ish font. His human has a very long shadow cast on the platforms taking the pic. In the background is a mountain with scattered fall foliage.

Ugh Medicaid- tired typing.

I was livid when no one was paying attention to this during the BBB debate. So much about ppl losing Medicare but this ACA crap affects millions as well! If they don’t fix it I have to drop my health ins. Already have to drop my homeowners bc it’s $10k/yr.

Beside that huge point, ACA made preventive care covered 100%. Before that, under work insurance, the labs and a normal physical/well woman would be a few hundred dollars in addition to premiums etc.

My sign for the first No Kings had Elvis & Abe Froman the sausage king. It might have been a little high concept for Tampa 😅

How you know you’re at a No Kings rally in Mississippi

Happy birthday Rufus 🎉 Thanks for enduring the crown because you look adorable 🧡

It just has ground ginger in the crumble topping and I used some grated ginger in the apple mixture (the recipe called for candied ginger there but I substituted).

Excellent!
The fuschia one is super-fab 😍

I started making a ginger-apple crisp for Thanksgiving when my mom went on super strict sodium heart-failure diet (saves the pastry crust sodium). It really is pretty easy!

It’s been a heavy squirrel surveillance week. Mateo will resume the hard work tomorrow 😊
We have one poorly coordinated one that has fallen off branches & the fence right in front of him 3x. Luckily Mateo’s good about being called off.

A blond cocker spaniel with full tail stands on alert in the yard facing the white back fence. He’s looking up at where the squirrel just jumped from the top of the fence to one of the neighbor’s trees.

Perfect product placement of the flexed murder mitten.

Participating in a #NoKings event this Saturday? Bring parks to your local protest! We've got flyers, postcards for you. Print 'em up and hand em 'out. drive.google.com/drive/mobile... #saveOURparks

Showcase of two types of flyers Resistance Rangers have developed ahead of the no Kings protest. Both have text and information on one side, and a different graphic on the other. One shows a ranger looking up at a waterfall with an upside down American flag and the word "Resist". The other has a cute bird and the tag line: "No kings but more Kinglets"

Well, Homan said they wanted it to run like Amazon but for human beings. So, mission accomplished? 🙃😡

What a great report to get. My vet said Mateo is “a little crazy but nice”. Accurate 😂

Mateo sends his deepest regrets & sympathies that you’re getting W.E.T.
(His spaniel-ness is missing there)

Liz @phetch.bsky.social · 5d

I was very late so I’ll read over tomorrow! Thanks in advance (yet belated!) #ParkChat

Liz @phetch.bsky.social · 5d

Because there aren’t any?
