This has been the view from my house for the past couple of days. Pea Soup. It’s not your normal coastal fog but something called “radiation fog.” Basically: Cold Calm Night = Persistent Fog. This grey blanket of misery will persist until early afternoon and then, if you’re lucky, the sun will break through.
You know who really likes this muck? Mushrooms.
I have no idea what type of mushrooms these are but I think I’ll pass on giving them a taste.
We had Thanksgiving Dinner (actually a lunch) with people who were not born in this country and their children and grandchildren. On the way home we heard about the National Guardsman (actually a lady) who died and the actions our supposed leaders plan to take to punish more immigrant families as a result.
It makes me wonder how long before this document, which my Swedish great-grandfather earned the hard way and treasured his entire life, means absolutely nothing if you can’t prove you were born here? How long do you think?
At any rate, the Twelfth month will soon be upon us. Can you believe it? I can’t. What a year.
Saying nothing in particular 
just praying for you all 💜💜💜
Thank you Willow. It’s starting to feel we’re in a Shakespearean tragedy.
I understand , just don’t give up being true to yourself 🙏
I’m first generation American on my father’s side and second generation on my mother’s. Unless you’re an indigenous person, your family is from somewhere else. How quickly people forget that is troubling.
And to be honest, I won’t be sorry to say goodbye to 2025.
They’re trying to justify marginalizing certain people so they can treat them badly which is a sick, sick thing to do. The guy’s gone mad … he really has. How long hie enablers pretend his wearing clothes … well just have to see unfortunately.
Unfortunately, yes, I can believe it. A national psychosis has descended. Duke
Hi Duke – I think it descended back in 2016 and like a cancer it just keeps mutating into something worse. Now it’s in the bones and attacking the nervous system – once it hits the heart, the lights will go out forever and we will descend into a thousand years of unbearable darkness. (I’m in a cheery mood this morning…) Love to you two Jan
Fog can make me feel claustrophobic although I do like photos of it. I continue to be frightened and angry about where this admin is headed. They seem to get away with everything and that terrifies me. 😦 The National Guard shooter is from my state, already a blue voting one, and that will probably create more issues between our state and the federal government. Who knows where this is going? No place good.
I generally love the fog but this stuff is actually dangerous – the inversion traps smog from cars, factories, etc – and we have Spare the Air days. It’s obvious the shooter traveled to Washington to commit death by cop – knowing there were so many barely trained National guardsmen wandering around like sitting ducks. And the solution is to send more poor young people? Insane.
Hi Jan, I’m glad you had a nice Thanksgiving 🙏😤🧡
It has been a difficult year. One of the highlights has been killing fishermen on boat debris…
I do sense a slow weakening of the Crook… a few people on the Rep side rising up. Courts holding up well…
On the European front it still has to be seen that Vlad the Impaler shall ever be punished for his crimes. Looks like 🎃 has already extended his pardon to him. Shall we see golf courses built by the prisoners in Siberia?
On a more positive note, we celebrated Thanksgiving with American friends.
Anyway, be good, Jan.
Killing fishermen on boat debris – a good way of putting it. Sounds like the chorus of a song.
A song or a lament?
Wow, that document is a tremendous piece of history. Well, I hope nothing is done to damage your great-grandfather’s legacy.
He also kept the original deed to the piece of property he owned – handwritten!
Incredible! If you don’t mind me asking, is the plan to keep passing those down to the next generation or to loan them to a museum?
Oh gosh – I don’t know what I’m going to do with them.
They are very valuable. You should check with a local museum and get some advice, just in case.
The things that are happening around us are unforgivable and being done by enemies of the state…our own government. No one is safe from them.
The current party in charge has illustrated that cruel policies are popular primarily because one side feels they are immune … there have always been cruel people but in a civilized society they stay in the shadows. Now they feel emboldened and all of us will suffer for it I’m afraid.
Greetings from Latvia! USA is not a nice place to live lately….
Hello! I’ve never been to Latvia but I’d love to hear more about it. I’m going to go check out your blog right now! We are in California which is almost its own country but things could get bad.
You are more than welcome to check my blog: latvianmom.com 🙂 I’m blogging for few decades, but this last blog stuck 🙂
