Recognizing that today, March 10th, is #InternationalBagpipeDay I'm posting this photo of my grandfather's late cousin Jimmy Kirkpatrick, proprietor of Thistle Bagpipe Works (also long gone) in Luss, Loch Lomond, Dunbartonshire. #Scotland #bagpipe

Your brother-in-law just gave up, too. The app refused to confirm his photo, so he made a trip to the post office today and was verified, but on trying to vote after returning home he was unsuccessful. Most annoying.

My husband travelled to southern Cuba recently (since we are boycotting U.S. travel) where he met many warm, kind people. As a break from our current gloomy political news, you may enjoy reading his uplifting travel story.

I visited Joshua Tree NP today and was pleased to see people protesting in support of park employees.

With apologies to fellow Canadians ... I'm in California on a trip planned last year and the only photos I'm posting are of today's protest by National Park Service employees in Joshua Tree. @altnps.bsky.social
