No, he can’t. No one can run for VP thst is not eligible to run for president. But since when does ‘he can’t do that’ mean anything.

Someone I thought I was on same page with, a brit, has been posting things on fb about how kind and caring he was, and not to pay attention to the clips being posted. She insists he was about self-acceptance and realizing potential. I don’t get it.

Awesome! Used to bike to lake frequently (lived under the water tower). Enjoy!

Ohh, nice! (I used to live there in the 80’s).

Which part? Expecting it to get busy there - the roads getting there get clogged up. Definitely thinking about it.

As someone who used to do this from the Canadian side, was thinking this as well. It’s a real business opportunity for people on both sides.

“Go ahead, it’s a free country” my son said. He was baiting me. He knew the tirade I would unleash, and I did. Folks, we do not live in a free country. I know I am preaching to the choir here. But we need to come out and say it as it is. To everyone. (My son agrees, it was a mood)

It ignited a second time, they put it out again and resumed, again, but my family headed north after that.

So, in Harrisburg, OR, the annual “old fashioned 4th of July” fireworks started like this: the first few lighted the field across the river from the town. Engines from the towns on both sides put it out, and the fireworks resumed. (Historically that field is hay, likely not yet cut)

2/2 this morning my grandsons (20) friend completed suicide. Such a waste. I lost a friend at 18 and a niece who was 23 to same. And I’ve been that low. Please, hold on. Find help. Keep reaching out until you find it. The world is better with you in it. Yes, YOU.

A picture of a bench at the side of a small lake with trees, shrubs and grass along the far side. Printed on the picture is “Turn off the news. Go outside. Breathe. We were not meant to carry the burden of the whole world. “ /s/ Florence Williams and at bottom “imperfectly & simple”

Close encounters. I am guessing the canine is more vicious than the feline and I have the scars to prove it 🤪.

On my soapbox again. Whatever person nurtured you, who shaped who you are, the one you turn/ed to when you need/ed a friend, that is “mom”. That is the human who mothered you. Don’t let another person dismiss you by saying that person is not your “real” mom. Dismiss them!

4/4 Things can go south for all of us. Some will be frustrating but not life changing like mine. But make no mistake, tens of thousands - perhaps soon millions - are being irremediably harmed by this regime. Take a stand if you haven’t yet. ///
