"I like cheese!" says Josie at her Vet visit, where we learned a new trick; Kong cheese whiz on a wooden tongue depressor, and un-noticed vaccines going in the back hip. 👅🖤🧀

Sunny and cold, just perfect according to Josie.

Foggy morning, big street trees, broken sidewalks, and moss.

During the Vietnam War, 58,000+ US soldiers were killed. There was a comprehensive draft, and then a draft lottery. There were millions of casualties, overall, and direct US military involvement. The war raged for 20 years. The WWII generation was responsible for our involvement, and the post war generation resisted mightily. So, as awful as Gaza has been, US citizens have not been as personally involved as in the 1955-75 Vietnam War.

Winnie has a little home garden #Sniffari. I forget how enjoyable this is for dogs.

And please don't save them for your children. Give the good stuff away now.

Merkley and Wyden still fighting the good fight. Merkley held the floor for about 22 hours to call attention to the authoritarian takeover of the US.

This is the night of candy for dinner!

I wondered if - and when - the National Trust for Historic Preservation would weigh in. They are three months too late. The project and its massive scale, 90,000 sf (over two acres), was announced last summer with only interior renderings. There is no conceivable way that an addition almost twice as large as the original 55,000 sf building meets the Secretary of the Interior's Standards.

They now sound like Senator Susan Collins.

A lovely performance. We sing this in our choir, and it is important to keep the subordinate voices in check. Sopranos don't like to be subordinate and sing very very quietly.

We had a huge #NoKings rally in #SalemOregon. Lots of enthusiasm and new faces. Some inflatable creatures, a knitted frog hat that I did not get a picture of, a string band, speeches, & signs everywhere. There was a "sign library" where people could drop or pick up signs. Josie got lots of pets and hugs.

If you live in an earthquake region, retrofit your house foundation. (It's way more cost effective than trying to get - or make a claim on - earthquake insurance.) Also, retrofit your commercial building. Ask local and state government to retrofit bridges and infrastructure.
