Hi Stu,

Yeah it is really simple to install, setup and maintain. It's also very light on resources.

In tears.

Got an email from a friend who serves in our state legislature and lives in my tiny hometown of Mt. Tabor, #Vermont. He was eager to tell me that not only were they on for a #NoKings event here at 10:00am, but that 32 people had registered. It’s 2 minutes away.

The population of Mt. Tabor is a whopping 210.

We are on the Long/Appalachian Trail. Apparently at least eight parties of hikers are going to come down the mountain to join in. They had dreamed that would happen. So #proud.

Bear. I know you. I know how important this is to you. You feel it as deeply as I do, but you need to care for yourself first. This may not be the time to go, sweetie. No matter how passionate you are. Be grateful, as you said above, and proud, but please, I/we worry about you.🩷

Update. Mom/Bev called an audible/a retreat when I started to stumble on the third step downstairs, you were right to caution a Bear. I’m paying for the effort, but a few extra ouches are a small price for giving it a shot. 😊

My state rep. pal will send pics and video along after they wrap. Doing as advised Laffy, still relishing the satisfaction of knowing our tiny VT town protests. 💜 you guys.

I was in the front yard petting Rio, and I asked him if he's seen the bunny lately. About a minute later I looked to my right and the little bunny is hopping towards me. He just coming over to me until he saw my husband coming out the corral. My husband stopped but I guess it made the bunny nervous to see two of us. One of these days he'll come all the way to me.

I am at an age where most things I buy should and could last me the rest of my life.


My grandfather was blown to bits on DDay, left for dead, shipped home full of metal shrapnel and never recovered enough to act normal or even hold a job. That Nazi bomb has kept detonating down generations of my family. Do you think we paid that price just to welcome fascism back home for dinner and cuddles? I'm not about to be silent.

We must each ask ourselves, what would my ancestors do? Then do that.

I found a smart outlet that's actually pretty smart—mostly because it 'just works' (unlike so many other supposedly-smart things). Quick video on how I monitor power consumption and remote control many devices: youtube.com/watch?v=URdTVrkz5j…
