The garden is certainly less lush but that has a lot to do with how dry it is here, tomatoes are still going strong

This is a very helpful resource, I also almost always share the public health agencies of other countries, which while obviously shaped to the needs of their population, also have considerable accurate information like www.canada.ca/en/public-he..., also

Spain: Corona outbreak - Mallorca's emergency rooms overwhelmed. "The Son Espases Hospital in Palma appears to be particularly affected: On Tuesday evening, 172 patients with respiratory illnesses visited the emergency room. 43 of them had to be admitted as inpatients" Source: archive.md/cGIxA

We could keep doing this forever, or we could make hospitals safe for workers & patients by mandating clean air standards & providing effective masks to protect against airborne viruses. It's illegal & irresponsible to violate workers rights & ignore patient safety. #Zacktivism

It must’ve been red Golden retriever day at the dog pond, I don’t like to photo other people’s dogs but it was fun!

It’s very dry here so all it took was a vigorous round of hose watering for Ollie to become encased in mud -until it dries & can be brushed out he is a one doodle shmutz meister

So brave at the vet-

Ollie‘s version of “helping” with the laundry

Congratulations Dr Hickey!!!

Enjoying the continued opportunity to swim on Sundays-Ollie continues to prove that among the mix of poodle, golden retriever, & king Charles spaniel is a sprinkle of Otter. Rosie loves the water

Wishing everyone a sweet year ahead!

Also tomatoes nowhere near done-most from seed this year including dwarf tomato project, already planning a no seedling purchase spring (won’t be able to resist when April comes but goid to have a plan) 🌱#garden

#MorningGlory is the slowest seed to flower-plant early May-flower late Oct but worth it 🌱

Kelsey Mitchell has been great in Game 1.

This is eerily well timed advice! Thank you!

It is

Anyone Seen a tennis ball or need some potting soil?

Wonderful! Still have & use her cookbook

They really had something going with that show, #DebbieHarry youtu.be/h0Hd3uWKFKY?...

More great health reporting from @melodyschreiber.com in the @us.theguardian.com

“Ebola is never just a virus; it is a mirror." My latest in @statnews.com on #Ebola in #DRC. I’ve seen its horror firsthand — when every hour counts & fear spreads fast. Global health defenses are weakening — what starts remote can quickly become a global threat. www.statnews.com/2025/09/11/e...

He seems otherwise fine, but this is an unusual morning pose!

Had forgotten the role of Nextdoor as an early indicator of cvd waves, it seems to have arrived here in a very nasty 🪒 throat form

First time I’ve ever grown a winter squash, I believe this is butternut! 🌱 #garden

Please share widely-no one drank raw milk after the discovery that boiling killed the germs that made milk so dangerous to humans-the advantage of pasteurization over boiling is that it is much faster and preserves more of the taste,but it too retains all the nutrients, none of the toxins

So exciting AJP-reading now!

Not the salmon or big baked potato, but all else from my garden! #garden #foodsky

A very good time swimming was had by all

What a year for tomatoes & eggplant 🌱!

CDC director Susan Monarez declined to fire agency leaders or to accept all recommendations from a vaccine advisory panel made over by Mr. Kennedy, according to people with knowledge of the events. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...

Agree! This is relevant to all professional education, learning doesn’t happen in an atmosphere of fear

So odd that the murder of Professor Dan Markel (z”l) has become fodder for the true crime podcast industry (not linked), but satisfying that there is finally some #JusticeforDan

These yellow Kellogs Breakfast #tomatoes are delicious! 🌱#garden

While they didn't necessarily jump “off” the dock, Ollie & Rosie hung out there & Ollie per usual got in at least 50 ball tosses— additionally I have learned that he is fearless when a bigger dog tries to take his ball away from him

Ollie showed up at the back door with a small dead creature in his mouth, I got him to drop it for a slice of American cheese but I couldn’t find it, dark has fallen and he is frantic to go out & look—thank goodness for the zipline which prevents him running in with it (like last tine) #longnight

Sure-all dog/cat being friends photo are super cute but Jasmine’s glacial adjustment to life with Rosie (sweet golden retriever) after arriving traumatized from the shelter to her warm welcome of mini doodle Ollie a year later & now zero fear friendship with Rosie is always surprising

Excellent advice as always from Prof @orinkerr.bsky.social

🌱#Garden The mini melons from seed are coming in fast!

Not sure I like these long shadows at 7.15 pm but another great day at the dog lake—

Such a sad story but interesting Torts hypo-depending on FLA law re “selling raw milk” perhaps both the Dairy & the Store could be #Negligent #PerSe & yes-will probably push back with #AssumptionofRisk

And once again its time for school www.jetpens.com/JetPens-Purp...

Sometimes Ollie’s toy frenzy gets on Rosie’s last nerve & she puts a stop to it

Hoping for the best repairing the stalk of this unexpected volunteer tomato-🌱 #garden

March 11 2025 sowed from seed outdoors to harvest Aug 12,2025! 🌱#garden

Really pleased about how well this grow bag is doing-chinese #eggplant from seed & #ginger from grocery store root 🌱

Didnt bring the phone so hope this is sufficient proof that we had another great time at the dog pond!

Wow! Her husband believed she’d poisoned him 3 times & let his parents go there for dinner! www.npr.org/2025/08/08/n...
