It’s almost the 4th of July, Independence Day, and I have never felt less like celebrating … even though it may be the last one the United States ever sees. We may not make it to 250 years as a democratic republic because of the GOP… (Fie on them and the Trojan asses they rode […]

(Animals on t-shirt in Spanish, in order: guacamayo, perezoso, tortuga, mono.) Yesterday when I tore down the old, wire chicken coop cover, I had a chance to try out my new neck-cooling fan and cooling hat. (The hat isn’t new: I’ve just never saturated it with water and used it as a cooling hat before.)

Today I put the final touches (except for painting the exterior) on the goat shed-turned-hen-house. I like the results: Natural branches for their perches, to keep their feet happy… Their interior nest boxes… Close up of the floor bedding and treat “shish-kabob”… View from ther front door into the hen yard… View

I’m back in action, working on getting the three crucial immigration documents and apostiles that I need for my move to Costa Rica in September. I have a letter of request in to Social Security (since CR no longer recognizes self-printed income docs) and its apostilization, my order for a birth certificate and apostile, and

MILLIONS elsewhere!) standing up to the intended tyranny that Trump’s regime is doing everything in its power to impose. NO KINGS PROTEST!! How about YOU? Share your signs and thumbs

Declaring My Freedom from 1000 False Krisses No one knows me like I do. For every person who has ever met me (or you, for that matter!) — virtually or actually — and there have been thousands across 74 years — there is a version of me that seems very real and makes sense to

The next few weeks will be busy, all in good ways! My cousin Patty arrives on Monday. I don’t know how long she plans to stay, but if it’s two weeks or more, she will be able to enjoy two special occasions with me: The Kings Books event on June 11th at 6

The United States of America under this new regime is giving me a sick stomach. If I could leave sooner than September, I would. But I have a commitment for June 11th at King’s Books and a hernia surgery to undergo and heal from before I can go. I also need to get the
