Walkabout time! 🐢

Avista confirmed today that the 'large load customer' it entered into an agreement with that would consume as much electricity as half the utility's service area in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, is in fact a data center.

I just wanted to share a funny photo taken earlier today. Myrtle was actually dragging this tricycle with her shell.

Omg 😲 I think she's digging with her back feet to prepare a hole to lay her eggs. This will be her first time in the 4 year's she's been with me that she's finally released eggs. She so needed this.

Walkabout time for Myrtle.

Can you find the turtle? 🐢

Today is the day that my brother would've been the same age as me for a little over a month until my birthday in May. We looked so similar that people would ask my mom if we were twins.

I don't know what's with me being in the right time and place to be able to help, but I'm glad I was able to help someone today. I helped a woman in distress who was in an electric wheelchair crying and screaming as she circled the neighborhood.

Same.

Have you ever noticed a fight in the distance that was about to happen, then ran up and broke up the fight as fits were swinging? Then, after you break up the fight, you realize the guy you stopped from being beat up probably deserved it. Well, I did that today.

Yesterday's sunset and Myrtle, who's chilling in her loft today.

📌NEW: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Trump’s executive order barring the federal funding of NPR and PBS violated the First Amendment. Of course it did. Yet another anti-American blast from our greatest enemy, and his odious GOP cult.

The drunken criminal from Fox overrode the investigation.

This is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail. We know where this will go -- the targeting of Democrats for mass disenfranchisement. We will sue and we will win.

The E Street Band is coming your way!

Check out Buddy's cute butt cowlick.

Gift.

This girl was demanding a butt scratching and going on a walkabout today. Of course, she got what she wanted.

I got through the paywall.

This is a good read for those unfamiliar with POS Matt Shea, who is as wicked as they come. In normal times, he’d be recognized as a piece of moral slime properly to be forever shunned by decent society. These are not normal times 😒

So I just got a terrifying call from my daughter in Walla walla. They were parked with no cars around them at the TriCity mall. While walking to the mall, someone shot at them. They're ok & they left the area. Cop's are looking for the shooter. That's insane!

I have to pay 12% more for a crap parking space in a trashed parking lot at Dimond parking, no thanks to the Spokane council who agreed to it. @zackzappone.bsky.social so much for voting for someone I thought cared.

Jasmine massage in Spokane Washington is the place to go if you want an amazing deep tissue massage.

This cute little girl was rescued by my daughter, who noticed her running down the road. It turns out the dog couldn't understand what my daughter was saying because she only knows Spanish. She's with her family now.

Trump’s war on civil rights has pushed the group—117 years old today—into a new era of confrontation.

Best explanation of crypto as I've seen.

You can tell by Sebastián and Buddy's reaction to Myrtle that Sebastián likes Myrtle, and Buddy wants nothing to do with her.

Ninety percent of CDC's vaccine related surveillance databases stopped updating. 🧪Why do we need regularly updated databases? So experts can track infections. The public gets access to graphs like this & can see show vaccines have positively impacted our lives & improved our quality of life.

I’m still LMAO about this & cheering @alexdugganreports.bsky.social! And this piece is an ~excellent~ reminder that if you let folksy Ozzie talk long enough, he ~always~ reminds you that at his core, he’s unhinged 😂🤣 That last paragraph is a doozy 🤣😂

Today's gorgeous sunset in Northwest Spokane Washington.

Wow — this is a very powerful read. It’s an in-depth read of some of the many issues family/friends who are caregivers of loved ones live with day in & day out. Many of us haven’t a single clue 💔 Please read & learn … and get involved if you can.

Hubby and I had another fabulous dinner at Masselows for our traditional anniversary outing together. We're celebrating 20 years of sticking together through think and thin. Woo-hoo! 💕

Merry Christmas Eve 🎄 Today's sunset in northwest Spokane, Washington.

@scoutandt.bsky.social did you this? I can't be to optimistic because the choices may end up worse than Newhouse.

Myrtle saying "Follow me." 🐢

@zackzappone.bsky.social How would you like to pay over $100 a month for this. Dimond parking does nothing every time it's reported. The city is the only one getting it picked up sometime. Yoi voted for me to pay more for this crap. Hold them responsible.

We're gonna have a chill Saturday night. 😎 I hope you all can find time for peace between all the intentional madness going on. You gotta take care of yourself.

I'm just curious, how many people have bought a brand new car that had the battery die in less than 2 weeks?

Myrtle hasn't been into taking pictures lately. She pulled her head into her shell when I held up the camera. Then she promptly turned around and ditched me. 🐢 🤣 Sassy girl 🐢

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Time to get this bird into the roaster.
