Green Frogs & Other Inflatables UNITE

A quote from John Lennon that says “ when it gets down to having to use then you are playing the system’s game The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight. because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you the only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor.

I am Antifa!

I am Antifa.
Antifa is short for Anti-Fascism.
Antifa has been declared a terrorist organization. But Antifa isn't an organization.
It's about refusing to stand by while fascism and hate gain ground. To say
"I am Antia" is to affirm that you are pro-humanity, pro-freedom, and pro-justice.
I am Antifa.
Shouldn't you be too?

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving Day!
🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃

Thankful for my health and ability to travel. I was going through some old info and realized that I have been on 12 major trips in the past four years (since Covid.) This does not include many camping/kayaking trips. I love retirement!
- 4 road trips (3 of them to USA which, sadly, seems won’t happen again for me.)
- 4 Caminos
- 3 Caribbean
- 1 whole winter getaway
And 2 more trips already booked within the next 6 months: 3 weeks in Cuba, 3 months in Portugal.
And, by the way, none are ever high-end; I can’t afford that. But, for me, many multiple low-budget are so much better than one high-end.

I recently purchased the To Sir, With Love dvd (Sidney Poitier, Lulu) and was pleasantly surprised to recognize Ms Routledge in that movie.
