One of the best books ever written, in my opinion. It’s our world now in many subtle ways. We are controlled, manipulated, and monitored in some way by our “smart” devices. Animal Farm would be another great Orwell book to reread. “All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others”

Yikes 😳

Caught a bit of a rainbow in the middle of yesterday’s rain.

Hartley enjoyed a sunny beach walk before more winter rain. The last storm brought this redwood stump ashore.

I went on my first international HFH build when I was 19. Carters contribution changed my life, my world view. It gave America a good reputation. I was on another international build when Trump ran his first campaign. Locals were laughing at what had become of our country.

Jimmy Carter was a national treasure. RIP.

In movies and sitcoms it’s often the intelligent students who are portrayed as geeks. The jocks and prom queens are put on pedestals. Young viewers are influenced when seeing these stereotypes.

A beautiful sunset after a long walk.

I love looking at people’s personal libraries. Especially the books that people tell me they read over and over throughout their lives.

It’s like seeing the foundational texts of someone’s life, values and interests.

What are your personal foundational texts?

Dogs can smell cancer in other dogs. Apparently canine bladder cancer has a distinct odor that trained dogs identify. A U.K. nonprofit called Medical Detection Dogs, which trains canines to detect human cancers, proposes using dogs to diagnose dogs. It's quick & noninvasive phys.org/news/2024-12...
