For those affected by wildfires in CA, #WatchDuty is an invaluable app for tracking all wildfire details in CA. UC San Diego has a network of cameras throughout CA. Image below is from one of their cameras looking at the Palisades fire from Santa Monica at Wilshire and Ocean Aves. #PalisadesFire

I crocheted this beaded flower and used it as a patch to repair a burn hole in the hood of my down coat. Aren’t we yarn crafters lucky to use our craft for repairs? The pattern is Glitzy Festive Stockings by Jane Crowfoot 🧶 #knitting #crochet #JaneCrowfoot

46 years ago today Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones led hundreds of his followers in a mass murder-suicide. Two weeks ago tomorrow former President Donald Trump led millions of his followers to reinstall him as president. It’s up to all of us to prevent his presidency from echoing that disaster.

Don’t buy into the illusion that Trump has a mandate to trample the rule of law or ignore the Constitution. He does not. Under 1/3 of eligible voters picked Trump. That is no mandate but a narrow victory.
