Good morning, Bluesky. I have just created a new feed, based on the Massachusetts Circular Letter of old. Hopefully a place to note the atrocities of our mad King here in Western suburbs of Boston.

Ah, Bluesky Hive Mind - anybody out there making pizzeles? It is my signature cookie, but I'm mystified by all the recipes I see online. They all call for butter - but mine does not. Our recipe came over on the boat with my Great Grandma from Messina. Any thoughts?

I work on a college campus. I actually drive a large, rolling target. (How many shootings, bombings, and the like have happened on or near a bus or transport hub?)

Today is the last day of classes for the semester.

Will I survive it and go home?

Being a Bostonian, of course I know somebody that works at MIT. (A former Scout Leader in my Pack). I alluded to it in an earlier post - gun violence knows no borders.

No matter how many times I read it, I reach the same conclusion. Trump is mad that we haven't put white people first.
