Update from Hubby "I have to admit the technology does date it a God awful lot as well. I remember using those Mac's back in school nearly 30 years ago!"

If you like what you've seen from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic lawmakers this week, call and email their offices and let them know that. Evidence of public support gives lawmakers more clout with their colleagues to keep doing what they're doing. Constituent encouragement becomes influence.

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act. As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Watching The Saint (love you Val) movie and hubby just said "What really dates this movie isn't the technology, it's that a million dollars is worth dying for and you'd split it with someone to keep quiet." He's not wrong 😂 #Val #ValKilmer #TheSaint #movies #bskymovies

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Wednesday is a day off from the shop but it doesn't mean the work stops at home. Watching Captain America and the Winter Solider, with the dogs, working on a dude cardigan, with my Dude. Not a bad afternoon. #thebiglebowski #thedude #cardigan #knitting #commission #bskyknits #marvel #doodles #dogs

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history: In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun." The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen. So they refused to announce a winner🤡

Just because we're on day 4 without power doesn't mean I'm not still hard at work. This scarf and baby blanket were finished off for customers to collect today from the shop. #showmeyourknits #knitting #knitbsky

So for those playing along at home (lucky you if you've got electricity😂) currently we're going to be without power until Wednesday at the earliest or more than likely next Sunday. Getting plenty of knitting done, but really in need of a hot shower ya know? 🤣

Hubby has been sorting out my yarn stash and while he's been a huge help, he had the audacity to say I have too much wool! So my fellow #bskykniters and #bskycrochet peeps. Show me your stash to make me feel better 😂😂

Another big day at the Crafty Crafters Craft Fair. Some of traders had their best day yet, just what we want with the lead up to Christmas! Two more blankets ordered and made for customers today. Genuinely concerned I'll run out of wool soon! Who'd have thought that would ever be a thing? #bskyknits

Day 25 of 33 days in a row. One of of vendors asked Hubby how he's feeling? "The nightmares persist and so must I." was allegedly the reply 🤣 He's not wrong.
