Biden To Pardon (some) Federal Weed Offenses

Like his predecessor, it seems Biden is keeping many campaign promises, good/ bad and in-between. By and large, this is a good one.  

No one should be in prison soley for weed possession

62

Tonight Yankees rightfielder Aaron Judge made history by launching his 62nd home run of the year, passing the AL record set by Roger Maris sixty years ago.  How fitting is it that all 3 AL players to have hit 60 or more homers did it wearing pinstripes?

Hitting 62 qualifies as one of the greatest seasons ever all by its lonesome, but in every aspect, at plate and at the field, he's having one of the most impressive seasons in history.  This graphic is a week or so old, but it gives you some idea of his greatness in 2022.

Loretta Lynn

The Queen of country music has passed away.  I remember her fondly from a childhood watching Coal Miners Daughter whenever it was on TV. She was 90 years old. 

RIP 

Someone

someone you know has had an abortion. if you’re pro life and insist that nobody in your circles have, consider that they just might not feel safe telling you 🤷🏻‍♀️  - YaYa

Strange Move Kopps

Pro life day flavor at Kopp's now deleted. Hmmm...maybe delete the person who made the decision in the first place. 

Completely uninterested in going back to Kopps.

A Fine Start to the Day

Our Sunday started out with Lisa running over a shard of metal and getting a flat.  Luckily she had a big strong man at home to change it.  Unfortunately Smiley was at work so it was left up to me.

Sawyer Goes AWOL

Lost dog. Blond w tags. Name: Sawyer. Half huskie half golden retriever all harmless and foolish and blond. Has tags. Leapt from a car window he opened himself so quietly I didn't even notice til I got to my destination. He was still in car at Howard and clement. After that he escaped so quietly I didn't notice. I know that's absurd. Plz call tags if u see him. He won't hurt you. Has no jumping manners tho ...pic of his brother and apparent accomplice - Lisa

hey, our dog Sawyer got loose. he’s super friendly and is sure to come up to you. Please contact the numbers on his collar. he has a collar and a harness. Somewhere in the bayview/st francis airport area - LuLu

UPDATE: 

Obviously, this ruined our morning. Four people, three cars, and we didn't so much as get a glimpse of him. I was mad at Lisa for losing my boi and though I hid it well (but apparently not), and so there went our day. 

Luckily, sometime around 11 Lisa called the pound and yup, they had him; he'd been picked up by the St. Francis police and escorted to the pound. He left the house with a harness, two collars, tags, and a microchip, but they claimed he had no tags and no chip (MAADC found the chip right away). 

Anyway, the dumb boy is home where he belongs. 

A Memory

one of my earliest memories is dad freaking out when using the bat on that mouse. - Lulu

My other Birdies

Lest you think my birding is reserved for work, this is my backyard at this moment:

700 Home Runs!

I have never been much of a Pujols fan, in part because he spent much of his career as a Cardinal.

Yet there is no denying the magnitude of what he's accomplished with a bat. To hit 700 home runs - becoming only the 4th man in 150 years of baseball to cross that threshold - is truly an awesome accomplishment. 

Congratulations!

Now 1-2 in fantasy football, with no one in the MNF game and down by 7 points. Dangit all.

My birdies

One of the best things about my new job - aside from the pay, sunlight, weekends off, and respect - is that I petitioned to install a bird feeder outside my window, putting a wealth of birds three feet from me most of the day. There are masses of sparrows, the rare red winged blackbird appearance, cardinals, and a group of mourning doves that now entertain me daily.  There's even some bumblebees that bobble around the flowers next to it. 

I love it!

Milk Bottle Toys

My fave as a young girl so had to get them for my niece Caitlin when she was a young girl. I think I may have found them for my great niece too. They are magic! - Lisa

Me? I have, in recent years, changed my position on pickles. I now agree with my friend Tre that they have no place, no place at all, on a burger.
