Have been taking a "political" break. So, so sick of nothing at all being done. Sorry, DEMS..just too much talk. Someone please invoke the 25th. In the meantime on New Year's Eve morning. On a hike. I stepped on sneaky black ice covered by leaves. Fell. Broke my femur. Brought out of woods on ATV!

Today, this song and...it made me cry. Yes, I am recovering from breaking my femur on a hike 12/31. Surgery on 01/02..rehab. Now home in a snow storm. Walking to TV news. Overwhelming. Lies. So, music. S&G I cried. We've lost America. Can we ever find America? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo2Z...

So, you might know I walk a lot. Gorgeous morning 12/31. Friend called asked if I wanted to walk Bro and his dogs at wonderful old past farm by water. I wanted 217 miles for Dec and said only need 1.24 miles. I'm sharing my tracker. I had already done the early walk. Then, on a trail, I fell!

Christmas, 13 years ago. The suggestion "Hey, let's get a picture with Mom/Nanny with the kids." Didn't turn out quite like a picture with The Queen. Should I have jumped over the back of the couch? Now, 4 are 20-23, 1-15,2-13..me? Ugh. 77. All taller than I.

Merry Christmas morning. At 6:30 am, I saw an "After Christmas" Sale ad (Macys) on TV. A bit like, well now, that's done, et's get selling.The cove this morning, tides out, sun moving along. I hope your day is peaceful and if not, I hope it's good, loving, joyous chaos. Thank you for your friendship

Avoiding news. Watching West Wing on Netflix. Even WH sets, oh wow, miss the elegance of the WH pre the #47 Welfare Queen destruction. This epi has interviews with past staff R & D. The class, the reverence compared to this gang. Season 3 Episode 19 The West Wing Special. Rs should hate freeloader.

Holy...geesh...I've been through hurricanes...and a few minutes ago..here in the SE CT..it sounded like every cliche' train just rolled by. My windows whistled! From raining and windy to WTH, am I going to die? Now, just nasty wind and rain...so glad Bro and I walked at 6! Bro would be like a kite!!

Trump has said tariff revenue may allow Americans to stop paying income taxes. The math doesn't add up
The federal income tax brought in about $2.4 trillion in 2024, which is more than 14 times what Trump’s second-term tariffs are generating.

Med ads on TV. Tiny streamers at bottom of screen..You know, possible dangerous reactions. But, happy people in the video and then a person verbally warning of dire possibilities. My? How does one know if one is allergic if one has never taken the new & wonderful med? "Do not take if allergic." HUH?

Good morning. Such a difference 15 minutes make on a first morning walk. The snowy, night looking one at 6:22 Sunday morning. This morning, a red sky was already moving, from rising very east at 6:37 this morning. Still, Brogan refuses to walk by the woods. I let him run the show and we turn around.

Lazy morning..good, sort of still morning, at least here in SE CT. So, 2 memes that I saw, thought I'd share. Sorry..yeah, lazy. Anyway, I agree, so sharing. Usually fact check..but these, come on. Cliche' it is what it is..or HE is what he is. Ewww & Ugh. (not grown up, I know) Enjoy your day.

Wow, found out I've been blocked by some people. I'm kind of thinking that I didn't even know who they were..maybe I was sent a follow request and then, I didn't ..so they're feelings got hurt? Anyway..here's looking at you, whoever.

And, so it begins. First outing this morning. No one else out..Sooo quiet. Just beautiful. Not cold. The foot/paw prints are Bro's and mine. I love this. And, we did not follow the road to the cove..coyotes would still be out. Good morning, BSers. Am I odd, again I love this.

Morning walk, weather says, "feel like 3". Walk to cove and a red sky that moved so quickly. Construction complete on the road. Cross walk doesn't have the plastic stickers that I slipped on last January. Now painted. View looks busy. Ugly poles, plastic sheets still up, walk signs, stop signs.

Good Morning, BSers..So, when you're so cold walking back from the water and try to take a selfie but make a mini video. Good morning and cold. Wind off the water, hitting my face. Does close the pores! This, on trip home which was quicker. BTW, yes, the sun was blazing! Trying to warm things up.

Good morning, BSers. Very chilly this morning. Clean, fresh air but walking up a hill kind of took my breath away. I think my sleepy lungs weren't awake yet. Winter will soon be here and I have to get my scarves out. Still, a beautiful morning.

Good morning, All. On this Sunday morning, I just "wish" for this. Doesn't cost anything. Not asking for a donation. But then, I'm thinking it DOES "COST" something. If you're an R politician, you lose votes for being decent.

TMI? Bro after walk, potty, breakfast, yelled at turkeys on lawn. Now, totally out! On my hip as I sit with laptop chatting with you. Need my 2nd mug of coffee. But, I can't move. So, no one can stop by. I'm in PJs still but with a hoodie. I keep house chilly. Anyway, life is good.

Good morning. Brogan must have "felt" the coyotes were back in their dens. Out early, great fresh air, sun actually quite blinding..so, we zoomed past the woods to "Patty's Cove"! But by then, the sun got shy. Still, good morning sun, good morning water and lone duck floating around and YOU BSers.

Slept late. If I wasn't retired, I would have been late for work. Maybe make it but look rough. Anyway, Bro & I out for morning walk pre breakfast & met another walker. The usual chat. Then, this. He said, "It's hump day"! "HUMP" said in the TV voice. Anyone say that anymore? I said, have a nice day

Recommending on Netflix, "TURNING POINT, THE BOMB and THE COLD WAR..Episode 2, "Poisoning the soil." Unfortunately, phrases, promoting fear, Roy Cohn..and so on. Deja Vu all over again. Speaking of Cohn..McCarthy...Trump/Hegseth..

I'm not one to brag....but, after the early morning, chilly walk with Brogan, this...hope your day is going well. I'm thinking of brushing my teeth. This after drinking the two mugs of coffee that "the maid" had waiting for me when I came in from the walk.

Hey past Post Peeps and BSer friends. So, so annoyed. March..Tick embedded and put on med. Now, everything seems OK..Nope..tired, one knee suddenly weak. WTH, while I don't have walking goals (I'm lying. I sort of do.) left knee says, "stop here." So, happy for cold weather. Die ticks, Die.

Good frosty morning, BSers. Small things can make me happy..I need that now and then. Don't we all? This morning...yayyyy, a cranberry English muffin with my coffee. Are cranberry English muffins seasonal? Hope you have little or big thing to make you happy or even smile today.

This is early for me but sometimes, you need to throw in the towel and admit you're tired. So, good night, All. Sleep well. Let's get together for coffee or something in the morning. Sweet dreams and see ya in the morning. Oh, and I've got two tick bites. Picked up the Lyme med today. Damn ticks

Good Friday morning..super sunny morning. Frost on the grass that will soon be gone with the sun's rays. Love that the "maid" has coffee ready when I return from early walk. I'm "thinking about a raise for what's her name." I'm kind like that.

Good morning, BSers. Chilly walk. I supposedly don't set goals. Just walk everyday. But, when I look at the total miles for Nov so far, I think that I'm "behind". I've told you that I began this in '17 just to see how far I could walk by '18 when I was 70. Now? I'm 77 & walked 18,951 miles.

Good morning, BSers. 2 judges have said DT has to & can release FS funds. He says he can't. He will have "his" Judge's ck it out. But, but doesn't he just get out his Sharpie and put out EOs to get what he wants? Might be a good PR thing if he dramatically signed an order to release the funds.

There was a post, I think maybe yesterday about the quantity of BSers now. Since I felt that I took a bit to decide where to go when we knew POST was going to turn off the lights, I thought I had a high number. But, I think not now. So, could someone post the BS gang number now? Just curious.
