Another morning dog walk

The morning dog walk.

The calm before the storm. Pictures don't come close to capturing the colors. All the neighbors came outside. It was that glorious.

A relaxing afternoon swim. Summer ends too soon.

Enjoying a little vacation time

Sun through the smoke in New England. That sky color is actually accurate.

Amazing sunset over CT.

Several hundred like minded folks protesting today in Guilford CT

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

My town always does Halloween right. A sickening amount of candy was collected by the kids.

A bit of fun being a tourist this weekend.

I never really thought about the White House as much more than a beautiful building and a symbol. It always seemed permanent. The fact that it is being destroyed has bothered me in a way I never thought it would. What a mess we are in.

The Dude has spoken: "ICE? Let's get ICE off our streets and into our beverages. This aggression will not stand. Let's just abide together"

It is dawn here on the East Coast. I'm sitting here with a dog on my lap, and a coffee next to me. My kids who I have tried to wake from school are still sleeping upstairs. I'll have to go try again in a moment. It's a moment of quiet that I enjoy. Not really any relevance, just a moment.

Just canceled my subscription, and am officially boycotting Disney. It's a tiny speck of resistance, but we have to try.

Evening dog walk.

Had to post.

Nice getting away for the week.

The best way to celebrate the 4th these days. Small but mighty in Hamden CT.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor

Beautiful hike today.

"We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." ~ Carl Sagan

You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other.

A walk by the sea is always good for your mental health.
