Again for the people in back.

Democracy is not fragile. It's not an idyllic crystal statue.

It's malleable, it's a work in progress, it's clay on a potter's wheel. Yes, somebody can come along and smash the work we've put into it, but we remember how to make it again.

It can be fixed with time and effort. As long as people are there to do the work, we can fix it.

What if I told you...
You really don't know the motives and perspectives of another?

What if I told you...
You can take what you see and learn from it rather than argue against it?

What if I told you...
You'll find a richer life when you search for the good rather than the faults?

Would you consider what you're about to post? Would you realize I'm posting about you? Would you realize I'm posting about that other account? Would you realize I'm just as full of it as you are?

When everybody take the high road, we can see our path out of the woods.

If everybody takes the low road, we'll be stumbling around in the mud for ages.

A thought I had this morning:

We are insulated from foreign influence here, but not completely immune.

People bring over memes, links, ideas that may have been originally hatched and festerered in Putin's IRA.

Check everything, trust nothing, and assume Putin is still out to get us.

Ahhhh

Measurable rain!

Hopefully it gets is out of this drought.

I'm so glad my son left me some oatmeal

Decaf is just another word for "dead inside."

Good morning CoSo ☕

According to the theory of relativity, larger mass, and therefore a larger gravity well, will slow down local time compared to time as measured outside that gravity well.

Therefore being overweight will allow you to live longer, relatively speaking.

Some #ForestBathing was exactly what I needed.

Good morning CoSo.

Still one of the highlights of my day: checking the weekly logs and seeing 100,000 students matched with potential scholarships.

When you receive the message at 8pm on a Saturday "you'll receive feedback within 48 hours"
Do you expect

This young lone birch didn't get the memo that is time to give up.

Good morning CoSo.

Yesterday staggered me.

But I didn't step back.

Today I step forward again.

It is now time.

Each day I must hit the super market to make sure I get 2 lbs of the highly sought after local sausage we need for the stuffing

Ok. Christmas tree ornaments are getting out of hand.

How is this monstrosity going to hang from a flexible pine branch?

There is a greater than zero chance that the machine being raged against was an HP printer.
