Grandma. Solo traveler. Deeply offended to be member of species homo sapiens sapiens. I mean, wtf?
Well, time to head out into the snow for our morning walk.

I'm just finding out about this.
WTAF
With the advent of AI we can look forward to more of this. Methinks we need to enforce a version of Asimov's 3 laws of robotics to provide a modicum of guardrails on technology.

Some signs from today in watkins glen, ny.
- a good turnout for a small town of 1,500. Lots of cars though because of a racing event.

So when it threatens rain Willie and i play in our yard.
I pick up fallen branches and toss them in the brush pile...willie digs into the pile, pulls them out and runs off with them.🙄

Excellent sunsets here in upstate ny! But this time of year it is the 'dragon's breath', mist rolling off Seneca Lake in the mornings, that are most magical.

Can you spot the praying mantis giving me the curious green staredown?

'The Influence Continuum' by Dr. Steven Hassan is a great resource for understanding cults. Also his books. He is a survivor or the Moonie cult.

William J Donovan wrote a book during WW2 full of suggestions for ordinary citizens and beaurucrats to throw sand in the cogs of the Nazi war and terror machine.
Unfortunately it is still relevant here, today. Fortunately it is still in print.

Went to this rally yesterday. Clyde, ny is a small rural farming community conveniently (for ICE) near access to I-90 ny thruway.
Never expected finger lakes and our quiet communities to be targeted by trump evil stormtroopers.

Just watched 'Surviving Ohio State' documentary on MAX. Yup.
Jim Jordan comes out looking like a desparate lying enabler of sexual abuse. Highly recommend. Hard to watch.

Seneca Falls, New York in front of National Women's Hall of Fame, No Kings March. I brought a flag nd extras to give away. I was surprised to see how many people had the same idea: We who love democracy need to reclaim our flag as we work to reclaim our democracy. It infuriates The Adversary.

There's a delightful documentary, 'Spellbound' which follows a small diverse group of contestants on their roads to the national spelling bee.

One of my brothers is in final stages of hopefully getting his canadian citizenship. Our grandmother was born in canada.
I've been looking into it on and off for years. If he's successful i'll be happy to follow in my little brother's footsteps.
(I plan to stay and fight back in upstate ny, but..)

I've been saying for a long time that this is the logical solution to abortion.

Yes, there is a Deep State. But trump and MAGA don't understand what it is.
