The truth is finally surfacing! First, a Trump birthday card—now a Prince Andrew photo and email in the U.K. Someone’s clearly dropping evidence to trusted journalists. Time to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, End the Shutdown, and release the Epstein files. #TruthMatters #EpsteinFiles

I wish. She’s just a giant cat, who’s getting older. Calico cat with a hairdresser.

Burr, our 13-year-old Maine Coon, is chilling on my lap this morning — enjoying some quiet time and showing off her adorable lion cut 🦁 Her long fur was getting a bit too much for her to manage, but she’s looking regal as ever! #MaineCoon #SeniorCat #LionCut #CatLife #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #LapCat

Crazy! My YL knows I haven’t been on radio much. I told her what’s happening with Solar Cycle 25 🤔. I just took a few screenshots of my area forecast around 6:05PM today, Wednesday, 01 Oct 2025. Solar sites are saying we will have periods of Moderate (G2) storming persist on Wednesday. 73, AB4GH

Thank you 😊

Solar Cycle 25 has been crazy this year—solar storms, flares, and brutal HF propagation. Again today I turned on my gear (old shack photo) to find a noise floor from S2-S6. Hope things calm down! 73!🌞 📡 #HamRadio #HFConditions #SolarCycle25 #SpaceWeather #AmateurRadio #RadioNoise #GeomagneticStorm

I have a question—or maybe I should ask: has anyone else had this experience? My question wouldn’t fit in 300 characters, so I attached my thoughts as an image 🙂. #Streaming #ClassicMovies #TVShows #Netflix #AmazonPrimeVideo #AppleTV #Subscriptions #PayMore #NotIncluded #RotatingContent #WhatGives

Photo of Burr, our 13-year-old Maine Coon, joined me on the patio to enjoy some sunshine! She’s an indoor cat but loves tagging along when I sit outside. Rocking her new lion cut—it keeps her comfy and stylish to help her keep up with her long coat,

Listening on ham radio: Learned ex-pats living in Albania had a minute end of war celebration! Trump told journalists he stopped a war between Azerbaijan and “Albania”. Later he inserted a different country into Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict, saying he prevented a war between Armenia and Cambodia.

Walmart 18 months NY Strip Steak: $30.23 (3/24/23) → $42.15 (9/18/25) Families are hurting 😢. Walter Cronkite said “Democracy isn’t a spectator sport”. Plato offered a cautionary note, “One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors”.

This is House Panther, our Bombay cat 🐾 He loves napping on the couch behind my head in the afternoon, though he wasn’t thrilled when I snapped this picture. That look says, “Okay, picture time is over!” #CatsOfBluesky #BombayCat #CatNap

With all the Sun’s activity in Solar Cycle 25, I sure hope we don’t see anything like another Carrington Event in September 1859 🌞

That’s sooo true at my home too🐾🐈‍⬛

Good morning 🌞 🐈‍⬛

Just found out about the Museum of Radio & Technology in Huntington, WV—never knew it was there! 📻 They’ve got restored vintage ham gear & more. Definitely on my list to visit. #HamRadio #RadioHistory #WV #AmateurRadio www.mrtwv.org

House Panther met his plush doppelgänger—and he’s not amused. Our sleek Bombay black cat, guardian of his domain, can’t figure out why the “intruder” won’t respond. Watching him circle and inspect his silent rival was pure comedy.

Happy Caturday! 🐾😂

Solar Cycle 25’s been a wild ride—flares, storms, and punishing HF conditions. Fired up the rig tonight (old shack pic) and the noise floor was sky-high. Here’s hoping the bands calm down soon! 🌞📡 #HamRadio #HFConditions #SolarCycle25 #SpaceWeather #AmateurRadio #RadioNoise #GeomagneticStorm

This is Rusty, our beloved dachshund who passed at 18½ years. Taken July 18, 2005—with his first ham bone. He loved it so much he turned into a little gremlin guarding it! No-one could take it away! Stubborn, possessive, and yes, an occasional a**hole—but we adored him. Forever part of the family 🐾❤️

US national parks staff in ‘survival mode’ to keep parks open amid Trump cuts Park bosses say they’re running visitor centers and even cleaning bathrooms as remaining staff try to keep sites open

Unreal. Park Service staff are in survival mode—doing everything from cleaning toilets to firefighting—after massive Trump-era cuts. This isn’t how you “Make America Great.” Hats off to the dedicated workers keeping our parks alive despite the neglect.

This is a cat in a box.

Meet House Panther — our sleek Black Bombay cat. Here he is in a box from a freshly delivered package. Because of course, it’s a new box… which means he must sit in it and guard it like royal treasure — until he decides he’s had enough. 🐾🐈‍⬛

Solar Cycle 25 has been wild this year—solar storms, flares, and brutal HF propagation. Turned on my gear (old shack photo) tonight and the noise floor was through the roof. Hope things settle soon! 🌞 📡 #HamRadio #HFConditions #SolarCycle25 #SpaceWeather #AmateurRadio #RadioNoise #GeomagneticStorm

This is Leo, our PomChi. 🌙 When the sun sets and the TV’s on, he hops up on the couch to watch TV, he sits back leans against the cushion at my side, ears listening & head tilting at scenes. But a siren? He howls like a little wolf—our loyal, miniature watchdog in action! #PomChi #Leo #DogsOfBluesky

This is Elsa.
Every single night, she must lay on my stomach and give me exactly two head bumps. No more, no less. It’s the law. 👑🐾

Resistance is futile.
