I’m beginning to see that the USA is no longer republican or democrat but falls in a place where people must speak up if they want to save the democracy of the USA. This "personalist" style of politics is more characteristic of declining democracies worldwide than of healthy two-party systems.

Cold looking out to sea this morning 32F. Next to our home here in Norway. Lots of seaweed from the storm we had some days ago.

Was able to capture this Hummingbird-hawk-moth next to one of our potted plants over the weekend. Lot smaller than a Hummingbird.

There’s an open spot on this pack. Claim it. Everyone who reposts will be vetted for next one so even though only one person gets this spot, you’ll likely be on next one. go.bsky.app/4J6wKo8

This afternoon, the storm is clearing.

Pics from our garden today...Last of the Summer weather.

This beach is only about 200 meters from our house in Kjerringvik, Norway. It's part of the Oslo Fjord and in the summer the temps in the water can be around 22C.

Some people ask us what is inside the small house in our garden. 1/3 is the woodshed and the other 2/3 is a small quiet reading room.

Farm down the path from us and my wife cutting up 6 kilos of strawberries for winter jam.

Some of our summer flowers at our home here in Kjerringvik, Norway.

Our home here in Norway, in the summertime.

Old door.

Old building here in Norway.

Remembering when we had to shovel just a bit of snow off of our roof some years ago. Good old Norway.

After the storm. Snow on our hedge, and the sun makes me happy.

The blizzard continues here in Norway where we live.

Took this at noon today by our home here in Norway to show how low the sun is during the shortest days of the year.

I took these last January after a big snowstorm at our home here in Norway

Frost on our outside glass table.

One of my favorite trees in Napa, Ca.

A really cool Norwegian winter sky. Not sure what the clouds are called.

Forty years. One day at a time. So good to wake up each day with no regrets or feeling terrible.
