Visitor from up North.
Bare minimum snowman with three sections of the same size and two sticks for arms. He has no buttons or nose or smile or eyes on his head. He is surrounded by snow and there's a garage door in the background.

Photo of a house, with a front yard strewn with colorful, fallen leaves. Right in front of the house is a long table with the characters from Charlie Brown seated behind the table and Snoopy standing in front of the table wearing an orange cape. There are orange pumpkins and white gourds on the ground in front of the table. There's a sign in the front yard that says: "stop for photo op end seats open fur babies welcome"

In his letter to Unitarian Minister Harrison Blake on December 6, 1858, Henry David Thoreau said, among other things:

"I am grateful for what I am and what I have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.... My wealth is not possession, but enjoyment."

US Senator Mark Kelly responds...

🇺🇸
ARIZONA SENATOR MARK KELLY Statement from Senator Kelly Today, Arizona Senator Mark Kelly released the following statement: "When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired — which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. "In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. "Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. "If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won't work. I've given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution."

"What shall we do with a man who is afraid of the woods, their solitude and darkness? What salvation is there for him? God is silent and mysterious..."
~ Henry David Thoreau, Journal (Nov. 16, 1850)

Henry obviously didn't appreciate the virtues of life in the city or city dwellers.
