When you’re having a cup of coffee, and notice the sun shining through the Purple Heart plant….you grab your cell phone and snap off a few shots. (‘real’ camera photos shall be added, soonish.)

Donald Trump will be indoors for the inauguration with his billionaire pals. His core supporters will be left outside in the cold. Think about that.

Okayyyy….this just…weird…. I just sat down to watch a documentary about Agatha Christie (PBS, Lucy Worsley). I decided to do a very quick Google search- annnd. She died on Jan. 12th. (1976) Today. Is Jan. 12th. Cue some suitably eerie music here….

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

With all the talk about Judge Merchan’s plan to impose a sentence without jail time or fine & with an unconditional discharge on January 10, I’d urge him instead to condition Trump’s discharge on obeying the presidential oath he will take on January 20. That’s a promise we know Trump won’t keep.

I attended a menorah lighting last night, right by Plymouth Rock. The first photo is the one that really touched me; but I do not have the words to describe why. (Two of the glass ‘chimneys’ they used broke- but were used anyway.)

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

Hee hee heeee- one of my presents to my guy: a mini fire-pit, mini chairs, mini beer bottles and mugs. He likes a fire, but can’t have one here. And what’s a fire without chairs to sit in, and beverages? (Pointless, is what!)

If the government shuts down Saturday, the richest man in the world will be largely to blame. You may not get access to services you depend on just before the holidays because an unelected billionaire shadow president wanted it that way. If this isn’t oligarchy, I don’t know what is.
