Missituk fella

And it reminds me of the years when I used to drive on rutted laterite tracks that were more slippery than ice, sometimes getting stuck in red mud up to the axle, just for the fun of getting out. Alone. Without internet or phone service, a four-hour walk from the nearest house...

I know winter is here when the truck's big rear end starts to slide around curves, even on asphalt. And when I need 4WD high mode to drive on the dirt road that leads to my house.

I don't use FB anymore. I had to open it and got this ad
Humans have hit rock bottom, but they are still digging

Yeah, it's nice. But the only way we have to heat an old house with no insulation. And it quickly becomes a chore.

❤️ you Boston

No Kings...
❤️ you Boston!

Here we go... First fire of the year

Very Russian story:

Murdered his mother ➡️ went to prison ➡️ signed contract ➡️ died in Ukraine just one month after turning 18.

Full circle 🤷‍♀️

French authorities exposed and stopped a Russian-planned assassination attempt on Vladimir Osechkin, the founder of Gulagu.net, known for revealing torture in Russian prisons.

On October 13, France’s anti-terrorism prosecutors arrested four men, aged 26–38, including three from Dagestan, Russia.

Impossible. I live far from the nearest station, and I'm talking about Beauvais Airport (Ryanair), which is very far from Paris. I would have to take several trains and buses... It would cost more than repairing the car. Trains are often more expensive than planes in France.

4WD, diesel, truck... No way for the green extremists. Let's fly over the pond... If I left a Ford Ranger in an American airport parking lot, the worst that could happen is that it would get a "buy a real truck!" sticker on the bumper. Yeah. A Ranger is just a pretender... :)

The Peugeot has broken down. I have to go to Paris airport in 10 days.I have no choice, it will have to be repaired and it's very expensive.Could I go there with the truck? No. Why? Because leaving a Ford Ranger in an airport parking lot for a week means you're sure to find it covered in green paint

There’s a common feeling across the U.S. right now, a sense of helplessness. Many people want to do more but feel like they can’t. Remember: every action you take pushes the resistance forward.

I left with tears in my eyes and my heart filled with joy. Thank you. In this country, fenced in to the very core of its people, there is someone somewhere who lets their horses graze and gallop in the forest. Free. Thank you.

We looked at each other... I didn't get any closer, I didn't try to touch it, it just offered me its presence. I looked to see if it had a horn on its head... Nothing is impossible anymore. But no. Unicorns are so overrated anyway! This free white horse is priceless. Thank you

Absolute beauty, lightness, and pure grace.Free.Totally free. There was no one with them. The nearest farm must have been a mile away.I took out my phone to photograph them from a distance, not wanting to get too close, as if they might disappear.Then the white horse turned around and approached me.

And in the middle of the forest, I knew why I had come to lose myself in these woods. Suddenly I saw a group of five horses, trotting slowly, as if in a dressage competition, pass in front of me, completely amazed, then settle further away under the trees. It was a completely crazy moment.

There are days like that, when the call is too strong. Today, I had to go to a place I didn't know, look for trails in the forest, get lost, spend more time looking for markings than cycling. But that's how it is, I live on instinct, when my life allows me to.

Me: I want to travel around the world! Meanwhile, in Maine...
in this photo, they forgot Belgrade, Milan, and Berlin, and I'm sure there are others!
I WANT a photo of me in front of this sign! 🤣

When I think of MIT, I think of a large room at the very back, and these two young people dancing slowly to classical music. Out of time, out of everything. A moment of ultimate grace.

As Trump demands ‘compact’ with top universities, MIT says no deal - The Boston Globe MIT president Sally Kornbluth said the university’s practices already “meet or exceed” the federal government’s list of demands.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

The great joy of October. Half a day raking leaves and, above all, chestnut husks before I can mow the lawn. Yes, I'm still mowing in mid-October. The weather is fine and warm, a gift that comes at a price.

Today,as I realized that my efforts to bring peace among my chickens had not been in vain,I received a call from Maria Corina Machado telling me that she had accepted the Nobel Peace Prize in my honor because I truly deserved it. I didn't ask her to give it to me, but I think she could have done so!

Jam session at the local pub. Half of the residents here are of British origin. Tonight it's Irish music. And beer. Never forget the beer!
