We don't have mail delivery to our house.
Every few days I drive to the post office to empty our box.
Today I was excited to see young people who I assume walked out of their high school classes protesting.
This is a very red town and these kids are courageous.
They asked me to post their photo on my social media. I feel uncomfortable posting their faces even though they didn't care.
There was a long drawn out line of loud opinionated young people.
It was great!
I have to share.
Summer and her pal are being adorable.
They are almost inseparable.
Summer does let me drag her down the hill for a walk, now and then, but she misses him the whole time.
They were all happy this morning because I promised that they won't ever have to watch the Melania movie.
We are changing antibiotics again this morning and hope the gazillionth time is the charm.
Good morning, Mastodon.

Summer and I were awake early. The sunrise looked promising.
I am a little slower to get ready to go out in the cold. As we watched the sky turn red and purple I scrambled to layer up and get out the door.
Summer was hurry, hurry hurry.
The fog was faster than I was.
Oh well.
The silent fog was calming. I told Summer that the moist air is good for her complexion. She completed her security check before we came back inside to help her pal get his day started.
Good morning, Mastodon.
Big SFMemory Update,
303 historical images of the Bay Area, people, ferries, 1960s protests. I didn't plan it this way, but this puts the total at exactly 10,000 images online. https://sfmemory.org/Update/2025-11-26 #sfmemory #sfhistory
I was out painting again. Today was a fundraiser for the local urban farm, at the parking lot of my favorite art supply store. Many were painting a chalk art on the pavement, but I wouldn't know what to do with chalk! So I painted some end-season sunflowers. The theme was "Botanical Magic." I had plenty of time, so just enjoyed painting...
