John's Life Springs: After days of blazing blue, nothing to breakup the sky! Pleased to see clouds across horizon early. 5 min later, skies erupted in brilliant color, bonus of a Harvest moon. Ducks on water, regulars pack feeders. 39ºF headed to 63. Ya'll be careful out there!

Nights grow ever longer, an I sleep less? Up in early half light. Tiller needed out badly! Sunrise was a pleasant surprise! Breakfast, coffee, warm coat, out the door. Scattered birds in the forest, Jays screech! Gods but Tiller can run! Nose going hard. Walk back to Red Door!

John's Life Springs: Mornings so similar, heavy frost clear blue skies. Trees with leaves still in dull yellow browns. So many just gray fingers reaching upward. Few migrants, crows everywhere! Pond constantly reflecting Autumn. 30ºF headed to 57. Ya'll be careful out there!

Drug these old bones out of a warm bed! Quickly dressed, scratched the pup, grabbed a cup. Fed Tiller his breakfast, dressed for the arctic. We headed out into long dark shadowed lane! Apple thief in yard, Tiller saw her first! Into the late Autumn morning! Such stunning colors!

Nearly $1.9 billion approved for military family housing, but service members & families are still dealing w/mold, sewage, failing HVAC systems, and unsafe living conditions. This isn’t one military base. It’s a systemic problem documented by the Government Accountability Office. #SupportTheTroops

John's Life Springs: Colors of the sky and pictures of Autumn, so similar today and yesterday! But the differences, calm hard frost glinting as it is touched by the sun. Very little wind. Bright reflection on the pond. Today birds! 32ºF headed to 56. Ya'll be careful out there!

Waking to seeping cold, near dark now ! Cup of Joe to start brain! Pup waiting patiently, sort of, breakfast! Heavy jacket an scarf to brave early cold! Down the lane, now filled with cracklin leaves, Curling up and piling in drifts! Tiller just trilled to be out! Good Morning!

John's Life Springs: Spectacular sunset in sharp pinks, night before trip off island. Dentist/shopping! Wind was up as ferry departed, white caps running hard before the wind! Heron catching fish. Night sky, moon, billowing clouds! 40ºF headed to 52. Ya'll be careful out there!

Banging of Chestnuts off roof, brusk wind! Tired from trip, but up and about. Tiller laid in bed till I headed to door. Out the door, cold hands, runny nose! My young pup oblivious. Down the leaf strewn lane, chasing leaves! Nice long walk, waves, foam on the pond! Back Home!

Federal agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Northern California are knocking on doors in the San Francisco Bay Area as part of an expanded, nationwide federal investigation into alleged noncitizen voting.

John's Life Springs: Same glow in the NE, but off to Southeast a fiery spark against feathery cirrus clouds. Wind's up early on a chill day. Sparrows an WoodPeckers, Oh My! Autumn still shows, but cold comes, and days grow shorter! 39ºF headed to 57. Ya'll be careful out there!

As I woke and peered out, thought it was yesterday! But when I let Tiller out, saw clouds an sunrise! Breakfast, no coffee for the old man! Out into the brisk North wind! Chop on the pond, bright yellows down the lane! Tiller his happy self. And the old man is just plain cold!

I'm not kidding, the guy simply has to be at the very least deported at the end of this. If we're doing "he's not from here" shit, he is the most not from here guy alive. He needs jail or deportation the second it's viable to do it.

For more than 40 years, the U.S. Arctic Research Commission has advised Congress and the president on what to study in the far north. Trump appointed a venture capitalist and MAGA influencer with no formal science background — and ties to Russia — as its chair.

This is a disgrace, and it directly impacts our military readiness. Some 1,300 Navy family members were evacuated from Bahrain during the Iran war. Months later, families are still displaced, separated from loved ones, struggling financially, and waiting for answers. #SupportTheTroops 🧵

🚨 OOPS: A Republican congressional candidate in Minnesota accidentally published what appears to be an AI prompt on his campaign website admitting Trump is “not popular” and instructing the campaign to avoid focusing on him.

Pete Hegseth just gutted the Inspector General system troops use to report wrongdoing. Hegseth’s overhaul strips anonymity, lets “non-credible” complaints get tossed, and flags anyone who files too often. www.military.com/pete-hegseth...

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.

Native girls and women disappear daily in our country and little to nothing is done to find them. Native girls and women are not only less safe than white women, law enforcement doesn't care when they inexplicably go missing.

The United States is a Russian satellite state.

Russia and the US are discussing joint data-center projects that could use Russian nuclear power, according to Dmitriev. He said Trump and Putin are also discussing broader cooperation in the Arctic, LNG and other energy projects, with “important initiatives” potentially to be announced soon.

This awful saga is a good glimpse into how MAGA gets propaganda laundered into mainstream discourse by making just enough noise to get news outlets to treat their outrage as a "controversy," which then requires even-handed treatement of both sides' stances: newrepublic.com/article/2168...
