Onward


Mark had an online CPE (continuing professional education) yesterday and, of course, his computer was uncooperative. I set it up on mine, meaning I was offline, other than the phone, all of Tuesday. He will be buying a new computer, which is a whole other story.

This is Tuesday morning's sky. It was even more dramatic in person.



Aggression on the part of ICE is ramping up. There seems to be a propensity for people being dragged from their vehicles. It's very thoughtful of the Supreme Leader to encourage Iranians to continue the protests, isn't it?

Have a lovely day. It's cold here.

A new computer is never fun. I bought a new on in October 2024 and am still moving files from the old one!
It does look cold there. I commented on Crumbly Acres blogthis morning about Helen Hoover's books. Have you read them? She homesteaded with her husband in northern Minnesota in the 50s.

Coming soon, to a town near you...

Don't think we can avoid this craziness.
I wonder why they aren't raiding TX, FL, and most red states?
Encourage others to protest but not allow us our freedom of speech?

I'm campaigning to get homeland security abolished, starting with defunding ICE.

We just got a new computer for Christmas b/c Tim's last pc lost 10 hours of his writing work on an old computer that was on the way out for awhile now.

Thanks for your kind words about the noodles. Crazy fun. The cavatelli freezes well too, if you get a chance to make that. Sooo fun. Also works with gnocchi dough.

This reminds me so much of History replaying itself. We are in the beginning stages of the New Brown Shirts".

It's ever so slowly becoming a police state.

And now the FBI have raided the home of a journalist, despite the convention that journalists' homes are left alone.

Those skies warm our cold spirits a little bit.

This night mare needs to stop. I heard they was ice the next town south of me, Sandpoint. Like I said "I heard"
