The main reason there IS a war in Ukraine, the port. He picked up that tiny little nugget but didn’t know what to do with it.

Indiana University’s previous School of Journalism was named after Ernie Pyle. He was a folksie US writer and War Correspondent who died in action in the Pacific. He was anti fascist. IU has been trying to shut down journalists and journalism on campus.

May the Ernie Pyle Scholars fight on!

When one’s Alma mater FINALLY proves to the world (US) that they have a football team, one celebrates with leftover pizza breakfast even though one hasn’t been to Mother Bears in 45 years. It’s a B1G deal!

CALIFORNIA troops at that! Hope the most handsome and intelligent governor is able to stop this immediately. Californians don’t need to attack Oregonians.

Is our military academy in THAT bad of shape that they can’t spend an evening giving out an annual award?

I get that. Thanks. Was at Monticello on Juneteenth and totally appreciated the narrative change from when I was there as a kid. Very much about the people who BUILT Monticello, not as much about TJ himself.

Her friend had no idea who he is. Now I’m a bit cooler than she thought I was already.

My daughter is wicked smart funny and cute and single. I was visiting her in the wine country with her friend and said “You need to meet someone like @jackschlossberg.bsky.social . She looked at me like “how do you know who he is?” turned away, then turned back and said “you’re right”. Nailed it.

I’m In tears listening to it. My daughter was stuck for a few days in Morocco when they closed borders for Covid. Fought like crazy and finally got her out and was so relieved when we got her on a British evacuation flight when the US State Department let everyone down. It was just a few days…

Canceling my trip to an Indiana lake. First summer in 51 that I won’t be there. It’s too hot and it’s too red. Staying cool in blue California. Now I just need to go explore at home.

Looks SO much like my rescue, who had a sad sac photo so no one wanted her. She’s the sweetest, very protective but never leaned to curl on a lap.

Many years of happiness to you all.

I’m listening to your book now. Always knew you didn’t do it, hated what you went through. Thought of you while traveling in Italy this summer. So relieved you have your voice, your family, healing.

NO ONE understands Trumpnomics because it changes on a whim, with a tweet, with his mood, on the “last man in the room” with him, on a slur….

Age is real, he is old, maybe not shaming for this particular thing because old people do need to prevent falling….carry on with the rest. (Yes, I know Biden was shamed for the same which was also wrong.)

I’m visiting Italy, hoping TACO doesn’t blow up Europe.

Why can’t WE have a Mark Carney? Ciao

Just some flowers in #California.

It’s beautiful here. We also love so many our residents who may not be US documented but are our friends and pay taxes via their TIN. They contribute so much to our economy and our lives. It’s too unsafe for them to return.

#DDAY

My father was billeted in Wales before DDay. These are pictures of him and his fellow corpsmen and some of the local girls. Their CO let them have last day of fun, knowing what was coming. They were supposed to be DDay+7 but so
many medics were killed, they sent them to Omaha Beach DDay+1

I lost my favorite white jean jacket a few years back. Loved it.
Had lunch with a GF today and complemented her on her cute jacket, she said, thanks, it’s just an old one I’ve had for a while.

Then I saw the buttons and knew it was mine since she never shops at that store.

Looks good on her.
