Election Day ~ 2024

 American voters prefer a dictator— and they got what they wanted. 

They told us ~

 The migrants are "eating the pets". 

Election 2024 ~

It will be a battle between gullibility and reason.

Repetition ~

 We are watching Israel stage its own Holocaust. 

Ailing Guest ~

 We buried a sparrow today that came to our terrace in the summer heat to die.

Unexpected Things Happen ~

At my window.

 

D-Day ~ 80th Anniversary Tribute

Normandy

June 6, 1944

She was standing on the porch

that day in June

watching her youngest

come running up the steps

then across the lawn

when it happened

on a beach called Omaha

where her eldest lay now,

face down

no longer clawing

at wet sand.

She stood there, quiet,

holding him close,

fingering his hair.

Dear Charles Cingolani,

I am 95 years old and one of the first female scientists who fought against scientific fraud as a whistleblower. Being a woman scientist back then was practically unheard of. Women were looked down on intellectually, expected to raise children and run a home. . .

Man of Courage ~ Alexei Anatolyevich Navalny

 He was a patriot. He loved Russia, but a different one than Putin's.
