A lone sunflower, small, but in bloom in late November. Not an intentional planting but from the seeds for the birds. Life provides small gifts all around us.
My young adult son with autism rediscovered his jewelry kit and Legos over the last couple days. It has kept his hands and mind focused and his device idle. There have been zero meltdowns or confrontations and he's calm. When things click, they click. #Autism #Lego #Focus

“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.
