We are beyond peak and have been hit with some heavy winds that took a lot of leaves but we still had some good views during the hike.

Rachel Entrekin just won the Cocodona 250-mile race in Arizona, beating all males and females. A superhuman effort ignored by the U.S. media, because American culture has a long history of overlooking the achievements of women and minorities when they outperform men. Congratulations, Rachel.

When I was a kid, I saw images from Vietnam of civilians being executed in the streets. Seeing that new photo from the recent ICE operation in Minneapolis brings back that same shock. I see no difference between the Vietnam pic and what’s being shown now.

I remember listening to “Your Love” by The Outfield when I was younger and never thinking much of it, but it’s always a fun to sing along to at a Patriots game. Had a blast seeing Drake in his first playoff game. #Patriots

Tried to zoom in for a clearer pic. Possibility that it is a swastika but couldn't definitely say. It is something the government should have examined on his security clearance investigation if they even do those anymore.

Another 30% rate hike to upgrade NYSEG’s infrastructure must be rejected. We already absorbed about a 30% increase over the past year and a half. NYSEG should have been investing in infrastructure all along instead of simply taking profits from the already high rates we pay.

I usually make it to 3 or 4 Patriots home games each year, but I haven’t seen them win at home since November 2022. I expected some tough seasons after Brady, but watching really bad football is getting tough.

I decided to asked ChatGPT who the Patriots will take in the first round, and it said they’ll trade the 4th overall pick to the Bears. I’d be fine with that—as long as New England gets Chicago’s first-rounder and one of their second-round picks in return. #patriots #nepatriots

It seems Canada ranks fifth and could impact the U.S. economy if it chose to halt its investments. Japan, however, has the potential to cause significant economic harm. Luxembourg's presence on the list is unexpected to me.
