From here to there (Asheville to France)

 

At the Messina Cancer Center the other day, we were asked to vote for our favorite pumpkin decoration. I will tell you my choice at the bottom of this post.

Hello - good-bye!

What a great way to make speed! Stretch then crunch all paws out - forward then back! Not necessary to jump.

Some critters at No Kings Day 2

My neighbor (who just lost her own dog) is pet sitting this lovely guy, Harley. Very well behaved!

An image which should remind us all what's going on with the autocrat in charge. We just had No Kings Day 2, and this is the image which reminds us of reality at the White House. The ugly truth seems to be not just the demolition in favor of a huge ugly ballroom, but the renovation of the bunker which lies beneath it. That's a military move.

The Contrarian said:

"The new project is set to replace parts of the East Wing.” To add insult to injury to the Republic, tony donors (including Comcast, Meta, Open AI, and Palantir, among too many others to list) happy to place business before the government are footing the bill—and getting a snazzy thank you dinner where they can hobnob with Trump.

My thoughts about the current autocracy is that those who want it all (money, power) are planning to starve and kill off many of the people who don't lie down in awe of their lies. Concentration camps anyone? No SNAP food for the needy. No health care that's affordable?

I voted for "We're All Mad" the stacked pumpkins from Mad Hatters...number 3. Which one did you think was best?
