If we sent a ton of coffee and Diet Coke to Mars next year, do you think Elon might leave sooner?

Another week of early voting & spotting ICE. Maybe it is time to set up something like a fishing license for ICE. A catch & release program. Take a class, get you ICE Permit, provide a portal for photo's with minimal data, and award badges. Could help with prosecutions later.

No frost in NW Arkansas yet, but the trees are starting to turn. Unfortunately, many are going straight to brown because of the drought this past summer.

Afternoon, another heavy frost overnight and the color on the trees is starting to disappear for another year. Memories of garden past & planning for future flowers will have to do for a bit. Thankful for pics from warmer climates & opposite seasons. 😊💐 🌱 #BloomScrolling

Maurits C. Escher, Puddle. My favourite Escher actually. 🤎 It's awesome weather conditions today, rainy, windy, the cool breeze feels awesome after the heat. I ll take a long walk after another coffee i think.

It's time to start keeping an eye on this. This strain of Ebola has a death rate of approx. 50% so far in Africa. Its discovery in Nigeria is concerning because there are many direct flights to locations around the world from there. It's not time to panic yet, but well worth following.

Ebola disease from the fast-moving outbreak in Congo has now spread to four other countries, including two where it’s active. It has spread farther across Africa than any previous Ebola outbreak, reaching three regions.

A lunar occultation is an astronomical event where the Moon passes directly in front of a background object like Jupiter and temporarily hides it from view. This is a fantastic example.

Just finished cataract surgery on my eyes! It went well, & Medicare helped w/ costs a lot. Colors now bright & vivid, vision is clearer, & my confidence to drive safely is a lot better. Still getting older & still have "squirrel syndrome," but at least the kids aren't threatening to take my keys!

This past Saturday at the No Kings in Springdale AR the kids had the opportunity to learn about voting and to actually vote. Now adults it is your turn to go to the polls and show the children in your life how it is done!

This was a brilliant discourse in civics. I remember the concerns about President Kennedy being Catholic and his allegiance to the Constitution or the Pope.

As I head out to help get ready for No Kings 4, I see in my mind a rainbow full of hope, transition, resilience, and beauty emerging after a period of hardship. Have a Blessed Day!!

One way to suppress the vote is to move it's location right after the primary, rename the street for the new location, put it in a new court bldg right next to the police station known for working w/ ICE, & make sure internet is not updated. Looking at you Centerton AR. #CentertonCityBentonCounty

The laws of reflection dominate Hand with Reflecting Sphere (1935), where Escher holds his Rome studio in the palm of his hand. As he noted himself, the point between his eyes sits at the center of the sphere: however he turns, he remains... https://botfrens.com/collections/12055

We will be there to help you if you have questions about the election, voting location, checking your voter status, & we can even print out a sample ballot for you. There is also a designated area if you want to support the election or protest something. While there, grab a bite @ local restaurant!

Any suggestions for a really good cup of Turkish coffee in the Bentonville AR area?
