When you realize the building you’re demolishing is a former bank.
A concrete vault with a heavy steel door is all that remains of a building being demolished.  There’s a large tree behind it and a yellow tracked vehicle to the left.

I can’t believe they’re only just realizing how much Trump’s anti-immigrant policies have cost them.

It’s the first day of fall and, like clockwork, we are hearing a golden crowned sparrow singing in our yard this morning! They leave in the spring and they return on the first day of autumn each year. What a marvel!

NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

There is now officially NO EXCUSE for America's decaying infrastructure--bridges, roads, levees, piers, dams, etc. We can build big and build fast. The neglect is deliberate.

Comparing frogs: a few weeks ago, there was a large hatch of tree frogs. Most likely here: Eastern Gray Treefrogs or Cope’s Gray Tree Frogs. They liked to gather around the porch lights, probably for the insects that were attracted, and much to the delight of the cats!

Hello! How are you holding up? What are you up to today? I had to do some storm cleanup first thing (we’re fine!), but it is shaping up to be a gorgeous afternoon. The scented geranium (pelargonium) Mexican Sage is looking pretty with its spangle of rain.

Good morning! How are you holding up? What are you up to today? This handsome tree frog (Pacific Chorus Frog) was basking on an Angelica leaf in the garden yesterday. I've started shuffling pots around to get them in position for winter. Today I may pot up some volunteer tree seedlings.
A tree frog with a green outer edge/belly/face and a tan back and legs sits crouched in a large leaf. It has distinct dark eye stripes and some spots and whooshes of dark on his back.

Trump thinks tariff money is his money. He thinks Air Force One is his plane. He defended his White House press ban by saying: "I don't have to let them into my– into the people's house." (He really meant "my.") They're stealing our country. Vote against all Republicans.

Colors in my yard especially vibrant this afternoon. Cleaning up the garden takes a long time. I’m only half done but there’s still time before the ground freezes. Still 20 feet of carrots to pull up. I’ve put away 4.5 gallons.

Donald Trump is not himself the disease of our politics. He’s just the worst symptom. The disease is the system that allows corporations to buy and sell politicians so they can rig it against the rest of us. Money out of politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for All.
