So here's how it's going:

We got all the furniture into the POD and now have to pack what's remaining in the kitchen. So things are a little messy

Our twins are down from Canada helping, & their dear friend is here for the night from San Diego, to see them. We adore her. But it's a little chaotic

At 4:30 am we get a text--coincidentally we're awake--from our pal/realtor! We'd missed her earlier text, we have a showing today at 12:30. Oy. & why was SHE up?

Scramble time

Just a normal day

I sometimes thought my father thought he could't die while he still had books on his pending pile (a stab at immortality I seem to be replicating)... so, it was strangely touching to see Tom Gauld has had similar thoughts.

Incredible. I wonder what the strain is on the grid for that type of heat this early in the summer.

And, I'm ashamed to say that it never occurred to me that they would target farmland. Maybe huge ranches or 1000s of acres, but in the mountains of NC?

It took an hour to read just the replies to my photo-post from yesterday, and I still don't have the time to reply to all of you. So sorry.

Time to get ready for the drive.

Thank you ALL for the good wishes. I love reading every post.

Off to Oregon. I'll post alerts as they come in, when I can.

@czarbucks @firefly @AE4WX @amyedge @ai6yr @Jennifer Good morning from the Glen! Doors and windows open, Fat Squirrel No 1 on the rail with tiny finches and flity titmice taking advantage of open rail space. Laundry was finally completed yesterday and I can still walk this morning - wohoo! Today some more Family pics go up on the wall, and major sweeping/dusting event will commence. If I trust the hip enough, I’ll start in on the pile of cardboard boxes to cut up and go into the recycling. Hope everyone has a GREAT Friday!

“ has further increased its stockpile of uranium enriched to near weapons-grade levels, a confidential report by the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog said Monday.

Iran now has 142.1 kilograms (313.2 pounds) of uranium enriched up to 60% — an increase of 20.6 kilograms (45.4 pounds) since the last report in February. Uranium enriched at 60% purity is just a short, technical step away from weapons-grade levels of 90%”

@KimPerales What news outlet/source is providing the best coverage on China and Taiwan?

@KimPerales I've wondered what would happen if China did a partial blockade. I hope someone has war gamed that scenario.

@KimPerales It seems the foreign sources are starting to pick it up. But, not much.

RW #Media & groups step up the lies & #disinformation, but thankfully for Dems, they're losing their touch. Their judgement is misguided. Dolly is universally beloved, esp. by Gen X & seniors & Gen Z & millennials are concerned about #climatechange. Defending #TFG is⬆️fraught.

The Federalist on 6/6:

"Dolly’s right that all should be treated with love & kindness, but when we refuse to label sin a sin, we’re doing more harm than good."
