Welcome to The Moose Pond! The Welcomings posts give the Moose, old and new, a place to visit and share words about the weather, life, the world at large and the small parts of Moosylvania that we each inhabit.
Welcomings will be posted at the start of each week (usually Saturday night with a Sunday date). To find the posts, just bookmark this link and Voila! (which is Moose for “I found everyone!!”).
The format is simple: each day, the first moose to arrive on-line will post a comment welcoming the new day and complaining (or bragging!) about their weather. Or mentioning an interesting or thought provoking news item. Or simply checking in.
So … what’s going on in your part of Moosylvania?

It’s 58 heading for 66 and overcast again. We might get more rain but probably not. The clouds may or may not move off in time for us to get some good production today. Yesterday we generated 5.5 KWHs and the m-t-d at 47.6 lost ground but not as much as I feared. Hopefully that’s an omen.
The damp and chilly are messing with my back and joints, and especially my hands, so I’m moving rather slowly today. I’d best get to my boosting. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
Good morning, meeses! Saturday …
It is 46 degrees in Tucson 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 70. Sunny skies are in the forecast.
I am still pondering the election results and trying to decide what to take away from it. I am not taking away that Kamala lost because she is a woman and that we have to stop nominating female candidates. I do agree that we might have had a better outcome if Biden had decided to not run for re-election and a full slate of primaries had been run. I think the shortened campaign did not give states time to buy into Kamala – or any Democrat who might have been chosen – as the candidate they needed to rally around on November 5th. Primaries can help people feel a sense of ownership in the process and while I did not feel that the DNC did anything wrong in how they eventually chose a candidate, the connection between voters and Kamala did not have enough time to develop. In any event, I am 1000% certain that Biden would have done worse and that for her to be punished less than him for inflation is a positive. Personally, I am going to hunker down with my family and protect those who I can and hope and pray that the Democrats take back the House or at least get it close enough to block the 2025 Agenda (with the help of the few insane Republicans that may still exist) from being passed. I am not going to wish that terrible things befall the country so that people regret their votes and non-votes. We need to show compassion for those who will be harmed by their own ignorance even as we choose to no longer associate with them.
I have been making progress on cleaning up my calendar reminders and pruning my to-do list to remove things that have been done and will get back to that before I get off my computer for the day.
See all y’all later!
