JUNETEENTH
Today is a day to celebrate. Juneteenth is a sacred reminder of that day when our nation's declaration of liberty and justice for all finally became reality for those who had been kept in bondage. Peace. Sign in to see full entry.

About Trump's War
Talk show hosts on MSNOW Wednesday night (6-17) did a fact check on DJT's claim that he'd won the war with Iran. They showed a video clip from a conference in France in which he'd claimed Iran was eager to make a deal. But the host of that news show had a copy of the 14-point Memorandum of Agreement...

THIS IS NOT A TV PRODUCTION:
It has occurred to me that DJT's mode of operation in the White House is not that of a reality-based, well-informed person. His posts, speeches and actions more closely resemble his role in reality TV productions. Some cabinet officers come from show biz, with no experience in national security,...

What Happened to the Sapphire Ring?
It was a solitaire cut sapphire with chip diamonds on either side, a graduation/ promise gift from my high school boyfriend. He'd graduated a year ahead of me, got a job in a shipyard, and could well afford the $40 it cost in 1953. Don't rightly know what it would have been worth in 1980 when it...

Green... (old song lyrics, plus)
There's an old saying: The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. People leave the old familiar in the hope of finding something 'greener.' So this song, from the 60s (?) goes like this: "Green, green, it's green they say, on the far side of the hill. Green, green I'm goin' away to... Sign in to see full entry.

A SCHOOL YEAR IN FOSTER CARE:
The year we three kids lived on the farm along Lincoln Creek, we learned about the daily chores: feeding and milking cows, shoveling the manure after they went back out to the meadows to graze, gathering eggs and trying to avoid being pecked by hens who didn't want us reaching into their nest boxes....

"Impeach and Remove"
That's the title of a book released yesterday that focuses on the current presidency and the systematic takedown of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights many are blaming on Trump and his advisers/supporters. As I was flipping channels, I came across Lawrence O'Donnell, flashing the book cover as... Sign in to see full entry.

THE FRONTYARD SQUIRRELS (seen while enjoying coffee on the porch):
The great squirrel circus is in town: A high-wire act, tumblers, acrobats and more - five, (count 'em - five) bushy-tailed young squirrels, darting and dashing up the tree trunk, across the gap to another tree, one hiding under a clump of leaves while the others search and scramble. Then comes an... Sign in to see full entry.

Wish I'd Thought of It Sooner...
Online I found an image of a rustic outhouse toilet, intending to label it "The Donald J. Trump Center for Advanced Political Studies." But the copy & paste tool wasn't working for me. Just now I realized I totally missed a golden opportunity ten days ago, when the Johnny-on-the-Spot truck unloaded... Sign in to see full entry.
