I’m loving my daily Stormzie updates. A great way to start the day with a smile on my face.

Almost sounds like a single payer health plan.

💯 I’ve long felt this way. We have never faced our past, and until we face our shadow, it will continue to control our destiny.

You and the dogs are my daily happy thought, I love starting my day with such good news! What a beautiful puppy, and those unexpected steps are pure gold!

Welcome to Medicare The official U.S. government website for Medicare, a health insurance program for people age 65 or older and younger people with disabilities.

My plan dropped several counties in Wi altogether, including mine. So everyone is scrambling to find a new one. Ugh. There is info at Medicare.gov I didn’t see any company that had less than $6000 out of pocket.

Since Mark Cuban is in the news talking about Pharmacy Benefit Managers, here’s a comedic take on health care by Comedian Dr G. He’s a real MD. He takes no prisoners.

My Medicare plan maximum out of pocket for this year was $3500. All the plans I’ve looked at for 2026 are $6000. Almost doubled.

We are going to try and launch something that operates on 5000 dogs and stops 100,000 dogs being born into suffering.

We've shared budgets, planning, targets and data here.

Hopefully will be able to pull off the impossible!!

Thanks!

A very cool accomplishment for my rural community. Affordable housing has been a problem for a long time, and combining the project with a childcare center is awesome! Kudos to all those working together to create something that helps working people!

Today’s purple heads.

We grew purple broccoli this year, as well as green. Will be harvesting some today to put in the freezer. The flowers turn green when heated, but the stalks remain purple.

No I have not, and I don’t want to, either. I’m not a masochist.

A weekend at the Kalahari Resort, luxury condominium, a birthday dinner with 25 people from near and far, followed by singing at the piano bar. The next day we had a pot luck & talent show. And of course we played at the water park. So much fun! I made it to 70!

I’m around, just been lurking with nothing clever to say 😉

My kids threw me the best birthday party ever for my 70th.

Amazing!

A 🧵 worth reading:

In late 2020 and 2021, Trump-aligned operatives illegally gained access to voting equipment, software, and data. This was part of a multi-state effort now considered "the most severe election security breach publicly known." (1/15)

I designed this shirt five months ago and I’m glad the Dems are catching up. There is no more high road.

I’m up in the Boundary Waters region and Grand Marais, the scenery is less stunning because of the haze, but we’re still enjoying ourselves. No cell or WiFi except at the lodge, where I come once a day to check messages.

Crabapple blossoms! Finally! Also, birds singing their little hearts out.
