BREAKING John Giles, the Republican mayor of Mesa, AZ announced he is endorsing Kamala Harris for President: "Our party used to stand for the belief that every Arizonan, no matter their background or circumstances, should have the freedom, opportunity and security to live out their American Dream. But since Donald Trump refused to accept the outcome of the 2020 election, Republicans have yet to course correct. The Republican Party with Trump at its helm continues down the path of political extremism, away from focusing on our fundamental freedoms... In the spirit of the late Sen. John McCain’s motto, “Country First,” I call on other Arizona Republicans to join me in choosing country over party this election and to vote against Donald Trump."

Over the summer I built a cover for the Hobbit House (the preferred moniker for the trailer), a shade for the dogs and a pen for the horses, cleaned out the well house, foraged for wild plants, grew a garden and weeded an acre pasture. Next project? #tiredDIYer #winterrest

Tonight’s keynote speaker is South Dakota @govkristinoem. But the news media has been prohibited from covering the event. (I was told I could buy a $100 ticket to attend the dinner but that I couldn’t take notes or write about her remarks. I decided to not go.) #freepress

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but coughing in my face to bully the “fake news” will keep me in complete isolation as I grieve the loss of one of my dearest friends. This one is better heard than read: kunm.org/post/guns-threats-a…

If I were ever abducted by aliens, the first thing I’d ask is whether they came from a planet where fellow aliens also deny science.
