I enjoy art, photography, garden, dogs, dolls, books, psychotronia, and general grumps.
These Mums, not perennial in our zone, have survived three Pennsylvania winters. The scientific consensus is that global warming is happening and that human activity is the primary cause, with 97% to over 99.9% of climate scientists agreeing on this. #globalwarming #climate

When Governor Shapp closed the public schools for the Energy Crisis, I traveled to Minneapolis to visit friends. Elaine and I enjoyed a Sunday Morning Champagne Brunch, then shoe-skated on the frozen lake across from the restaurant. 1977. #frigid #energycrisis #1977 #1970s

The former CEO of Geisinger made 4.6 million dollars in 2020. (No figures are available for the current CEO.) Yet they are not offering many employees a living wage, and have cut their benefits to the bone. DOWN WITH CORPORATE GREED and UP WITH UNIONS! Support our local hospital employees. #union

We just watched 1975's "The Eiger Sanction." Impressive but slow, compared to today's standards, it featured a black heroine named 'Jemima,' and a gay villain with a dog called 'F*gg*t.' It was a different era, thankfully. #theeigersanction #clinteastwood #movies #adventure
