Good evening from East Tennessee.
Teddy’s pooped after snacking on a little bunny.
I tried making a Paloma (cousin of the margarita). After a few tweaks it’s very good.
Xavier had a checkup plus a couple shots at the vet. He’s put on 8 lbs since January!
Good evening from East Tennessee. The @smokiesbaseball club got rain delayed in the 2nd last night so I got to see extra baseball this afternoon. They walked it off in the 9th! It was too hot to stick around past the 3rd in the second game which was tied 1-1.
Good evening from East Tennessee. We’ve had a half inch of rain each of the last three days, helping to get us out of this drought.
Turkeys and their poults going after some blackberries.
Good evening from East Tennessee. The boys and I are thrilled to have the better half back home. They’re fun to talk to but it’s nice to have an actual conversation.
Good evening from East Tennessee. The thermometer hit 97° today so mostly inside time. We had our monthly FaceTime call with the Cincinnati and Wisconsin crews. The better half is looking forward to coming home in a couple days. The dogs think she’s never returning.
The mass deportation scheme is probably the most immediately scary part of Trump 2025. It’s not just the just the forcible deportation of millions of people and accompanying family disruption That’s bad enough. Nor is the let’s-see-what-pulling-this-lever-does-hurr economic recklessness./1
Full quote from ex-ICE director Tom Homan: "Trump comes back in January... I will run the biggest deportation force this country has ever seen. They ain’t seen shit yet. Wait until 2025.”
Tonight in Florida Trump pledged to bring Homan back.
Homan, BTW, is a listed Project 2025 contributor.
Good evening from East Tennessee. With the better half in Cincy until Tuesday, I fired up the grill to fulfill my protein needs. She fixed me a batch of her Mexican coleslaw as a side and I made two quarts of salsa yesterday. The salsa was great on both shrimp and slaw.
