I'm sharing this because Eastport is where my novel, "Just East of Nowhere," is set, and this video give you a good look at the breakwater, where several pivotal scenes occur, as well as the cemetery, which is where the climactic shooting scene happens.

So: the Trump team sent him to an El Salvadoran prison w/out due process but won't remedy that, despite the Supreme Court's order? This shows a contempt for the rule of law.

Glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. Brilliant colors and bold shapes.
Glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly. A sea garden in brilliant colors and bold shapes.
I get subject matter inspiration for my paintings from daily walks along the Maine coast or in the woods and mountains. But for color inspo, Chihuly tops the list. One of his best quotes: “I don’t know if something can be too colorful.” Amen.

Photo of surfer in Casco Bay, Portland, Maine in February, after a snowstorm.
Catching a wave in February after a snowstorm - that’s one hardy Mainer! The air temp was 19 degrees, the water maybe 40 degrees. Ummm…..no thanks!! I was happy to watch from shore. What about you - would you surf in this weather?

A must-watch: In which US Senator Ed Markey matter-of-factly and systematically demolishes RFK Jr.'s attempt to fog the record on measles and Samoa. #HHS #RJKJr. #trump

The gravamen of today's col on RFK Jr.
He is anti-vaccination.
He regularly distorts science.
He spews misinformation.
He isn’t sufficiently rational to avoid conspiracy theories.
He doesn’t understand the basics of Medicaid and Medicare.

Former Metropolitan police officer Michael Fanone was very powerful on Morning Joe today about Trump's pardoning of the people who assaulted him Jan. 6, 2021 -- and the way he and his family have been threatened.

"Trump Pardons the Jan. 6 Cop Beaters
Law and order? Back the blue? What happened to that GOP?"

One thing Trump has achieved today: A big hit on Dry January. #TrumpInauguration2025

20.01.2025 17:20 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Just as a point of historical information for young people and the newly politically aware and MAGA, this -- and not a violent storming of the Capitol -- is the way we traditionally do things in America. #TrumpInaugural

Amy Klobuchar is hitting the themes of the US Constitution and the peaceful transfer of power. Hmm. I wonder why? #TrumpInauguration

New Globe column is up, re Trump and Canada:

My new Boston Globe column is up.
Great news: Our democracy is working again!
The peaceful congressional counting and certifying of votes has returned to a routine matter. At least when Donald Trump wins, that is.
There were no incendiary speeches on the Ellipse, no storming of the Capitol . . .
I'll say this about Donald Trump 2.0: He has certainly learned to stay on topic!
