I write in the woods. Okay, I also have sheep, bunnies, chickens, and very excellent helper dogs. And I spin wool. Um, and play tournament scrabble.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

Crochet is more of a life's work, but otherwise yes.
So his crypto is just a hobby? Like crochet?
Hawley dismisses Trump lining his pockets with his memecoin: "Listen, I think nobody believes that Donald Trump can be bought. I mean, what does Donald Trump need more money for?"

SO MANY ticks this year. Might be the worst spring ever here in the middle of Maine woods. And we kind of know how to avoid them!

A quiet rainy Saturday. We visited family and continued to help basenji Annie figure out life without her best pal. She is very frail and old herself, so we are basically just reminding her that we are here. Athena helps too.

We lost our ancient basenji Tuesday night. It was mercifully (for him) fast and traumatic for us.
You think that because you know it's coming it won't surprise you, but it does anyway. Chase all the bunnies, Simon.

Gorgeous day out, but headache. Ultradifficult job, but client has me waiting on more information, so I don't have to proceed yet. We feel lazy, but our lists are busy and crossed off.
One of those one sock on one sock off days, I think.
Started the first of the tomatopocalypse seeds. Whee!

When you stack your administration with incompetent sycophants, you can push things for a while. They’ll threaten your enemies and make all sorts of mischief.
But when shit goes down, it’ll go down fast. They’ll fall all at once like a house of cards because loyalty to a crook is all they got.

Spring definitely arriving and just in time. The tarps have been mating again and are merging with buildings and structures. We can probably still defeat them with hard work.

Trump’s view on trade deficits is like getting mad at Target because you spend money there but they never buy anything from you. It’s just complete brain dead nonsense.

I keep thinking about how people say he’s keeping the GOP in line by threatening to fund primary contests against them if they push back against his/Trump’s agenda and I hope they are paying attention right now

I love how a dog can sit up straight like they just thought of the winning answer or a patentable miracle — and head over to get an empty soda bottle and gallop around with it like a big floppy goober.
