All the Mutual Aid going on by private citizens, in the wake of Helena.

💚💚💚

We have talked about preparedness here before, everyone should have a go bag. But we haven't talked about communications in a disaster. In many disasters, your cell phone ain't gonna work.

Ya gonna need a PLB (personal locator beacon) or a satellite messenger/satellite phone.

You should also carry a portable VHF UHF, radio. You don't need a ham radio license to listen. You do need one to transmit.

Happy Sunday, National Coffee Day. ☕️

@CanisPundit You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone. Picture, if you will, America in the fall of 2024. The country stands at a crossroads, torn between its past and an uncertain future. Divisions run deep, fueled by fear, mistrust, and the echoes of a turbulent history. A nation once united now finds itself fractured, teetering on the edge of chaos. In this landscape of uncertainty, truth becomes fluid, reality distorted. Shadows loom large over the fraying fabric of society, casting doubt on what was once held as sacred. Ideals clash with harsh realities, and the line between right and wrong blurs in the shifting sands of time. As we navigate this twilight realm of conflicting visions and competing truths, one thing remains clear: the only way out is through. Can America rise above its own shadows and reclaim its destiny? Or will it succumb to the darkness that threatens to consume it whole? Join us, if you dare, on a journey into the heart of the unknown. Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

@Alfred please create a Twilight Zone introduction in the voice of Rod Serling describing the state of America in Fall 2024.

There's an anonymous French artist who calls themself Ememem, who goes around at night and fills holes in pavement and facades with mosaic tiles.

Started in France but their work has popped up in cities around the world. I love this so much. 😍

Dame Maggie Smith passed away today at the age of 89.

I would like to express my gratitude for her wonderful performances over the years. She brought me a lot of joy and inspiration...quite literally all through my living memories.

May she be remembered as a talent who maintained the highest levels of performance within her craft.

So long, Farewell & Thank you, Dame Smith...but I will always remember you more affectionately as simply "Maggie"
