I told you we’d be back

A few of my babies coming out in full swing. 🌺

Posing for a fun photo in China.

About to embark on the Ratatouille ride in France.

Flower and Garden Festival at Epcot.

Hotel morning coffee overlooking the Disney lake and Magic Kingdom.

Sometimes you have to temporarily adopt a Finn and take her to #Epcot for the first time.

OK, let’s see the best signs that you saw today.

Getting ready for my first Bingo! Hosting at the local Suomi Talo (Finnish-American House).

Practicing my numbers. 😆

Selfie of myself in the mayor's seat during a Library board meeting in Boynton Beach.

YAS! I have been recommended and voted unanimously to stay as my Library Board Chair. It honestly meant a lot to me, with vocal new members, who I thought would want the position. We have a solid great board and we are all aligned on our goal of keeping our Library as the best!

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security."

CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security."

MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security."

CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security."

Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

You're not the first to say that. Since it was on my fig, I ruled out tomato. 😆

Fig Sphinx caterpillar compared to the size of my German Shepherd.

I'm in such awe of this caterpillar. Per #GoogleLens, it's a Fig Sphinx Moth. It blends in so well to my baby fig tree, but I'm blown away by the size.

But does chicken have a name?

Saturn's outer moon system viewed from the north pole of Saturn. Moons orbiting in clockwise (retrograde) orbits have red-colored orbits while moons orbiting counterclockwise (prograde; in the direction of Saturn's spin) are colored blue. With so many irregular moons occupying the same region and intersecting each other, the irregular moon system looks like a donut-shaped vortex surrounding Saturn. Each of the 128 new moons is highlighted in the diagram with a white point representing their location, and a brighter-colored orbit. Previously-known moons of Saturn are included in the diagram, but are colored darker. The regular moons of Saturn are colored turquoise and the outermost regular moons (Titan, Hyperion, and Iapetus) labeled with their name. At the lower left corner are scale indicators to help visualize the scale of Saturn's irregular moon system. A small gray circle at the left left corner is shown to represent the diameter of the Earth-Moon orbital distance. A linear scale bar is labeled "10 million km" (6.2 million mi) to give a standard distance.

View of Saturn's irregular moon system, tilted at an angle to show the toroidal belt-like shape of the system. Each moon is labeled with their names in turquioise. Red orbits = retrograde direction, and blue orbits = prograde direction. Turquoise curves closer to the center are orbits of Saturn's regular moons.

Side view of Saturn's irregular moon system, tilted at an angle to show the toroidal belt-like shape of the system. Red orbits = retrograde direction, and blue orbits = prograde direction. Turquoise curves closer to the center are orbits of Saturn's regular moons. The irregular moons of Neptune (dark green) are also visible in the background to the right of Saturn. The horizontal red line protruding right of Saturn is the orbit path of Saturn.

I spent almost 2 hours painstakingly copying the orbits of all 128 Saturnian moons from the announcement MPEC and reformatting them for visualization...

Behold, here are the orbits of ALL 128 MOONS OF SATURN. This isn't just a moon system—it's a literal asteroid belt around Saturn! 🧪🔭☄️

Idiocracy was meant to be a movie.

That’s all.

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?"

Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Debris from this rocket fell for quite some time. It started appear on radar around 6:40 pm eastern, and 20 minutes later there were still chunks falling. I'm too lazy right now to setup my Windows PC with better software to check beam elevation, but imagine that's what this is. It's not birds.

Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

Full page ad in the Wall Street Journal paper highlighting specific executive marketers from Marketers That Matter.

Excited to see marketers get public love in this ad in the @wsj.com today. Frustrated they're all executives (however, that's the basis of Marketers That Matter.) I'd love to see some worker-bee's get recognized.

All of my #hibiscus from this morning. 🥰🌺

Jules sleeping on the couch using her Monkey and my legs her pillow.

She brought me Monkey and fell asleep 😴 I missed my nuggets.

I haven't stopped, I'm not sure when that day will come, but I jumped straight from an out of state conference into a full-time volunteer job with the most amazing Finns on this planet.

In Lake Worth, swing by Midnight Sun Festival and let's talk all things Sister Cities.

#sistercities

This is something I think about a lot. I lost wifi the other night. I was hoping I could watch one of the movies I bought on Amazon. That I "own". Nope, had to drive out n buy a dvd player for a movie.

An eye opening experience that anything digital I buy, isn't mine.

Selfie of myself with Shannon the Librarian I had just met.

Just me running into a #librarian out in the wild. 🤘🏼

Thanks for being just pure amazing @roguelibrarian.bsky.social

Hibiscus day at my house this morning. 🌺
