Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

“You - you alone will have the stars as no one else has them...In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night...You - only you - will have stars that can laugh.” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, El Principito / The Little Prince

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote. ~George Jean Nathan
Whatever your political view, get out there and vote. It is your responsibility as a citizen. Our planet, our healthcare, and our civil rights are at stake.
Dog training of Charleigh is hot and cold. I think she is really getting it for a day or two, then Sunday night she chose to chew the bottom fabric off of an upholstered chair while I was on the phone. She walks well on leash.....unless there are squirrels, rabbits, deer, blowing leaves, or almost anything else to distract her. This is truly a lesson in patience.....mine, not hers.
Come on the peace train

When you're happy, you enjoy the music. But when you're sad, you understand the lyrics. Frank Ocean
I attended the contemporary service at my church yesterday. The music is always beautiful and uplifting. The choir is talented. The church is theologically open, diverse, and accepting of everyone as they are, no matter what their beliefs.
Here are two of the songs sung, which happen to be favorites of mine. Sing along, please.

Happy World Vegan Day.
Today is World Vegan Day, first celebrated in 1944. It is also the start of World Vegan Month. How will you celebrate?
George McGovern died last month. He chaired the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs from "68 to "77. His McGovern Report set out to cover the causes of hunger in America, His committee quickly discovered that malnutrition involved not just diseases of deficiency, but also diseases of excess. The report suggested eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and less high-fat meat, dairy, and eggs.
The report triggered strong reactions from the meat, dairy, egg, and sugar industries, including from his home state. The committee were forced to water-down their results, congress disbanded them, and George McGovern lost his bid for re-election.
We continue to tilt at windmills in this country trying to obtain nutritional health. Big money is still winning and our health is worse than ever.

Yesterday was Halloween. It was a beautiful night. There was a nearly-full Hunter's Moon. Temperatures were warm. Leaves on the ground rustled crisply underfoot. Ghouls and goblins were out in full force, although this year they traveled in huge packs for safety.....in groups of 10 to 20.
Usually Dean hands out the candy as he enjoyed doing it, and I like keeping candy out of sight, out of mind. This year I handed out the candy. It was fun, but I ate every box of Dots in the mixed bag of treats! After shutting off my lights, I hid the remainder in my freezer to give away. Again, out of sight, out of mind until this time next year.
Later, walking my dog among the groups of costumed older kids was enlightening. I saw it from my dog's perspective.....strange noises, lights from glo-sticks, eerie mobs, and laughter echoing in the dark. Cool!
