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?

NOTE: The comments page will split off after 20 or so left margin comments with the most recent comments on the current page. To see the older comments, scroll to the bottom of the page (right before “Leave A Reply”) and use the Pages Tool to view previous pages, shown here with 3 pages of comments available and Page 2 circled.

Did you see that as part of TheDump’s new anti-DEI, the Air Force will no longer show videos about the Tuskegee Airmen (and female pilots) to new recruits? Bastids.
Yes – and posted about it on Bluesky
Boosted.
Thank you!
This anti-DEI thing is going to be a huge unforced error by the MAGAts. A lot of people were feeling helpless in the face of the awfulness emanating from Trump 2.0. But now we have a purpose – they will not erase us, they will not be allowed to erase people of color and women, LGBTQ, the disabled, immigrants, Muslims and Pagans and Buddhists – literally people not cis straight male white christianists.

Good morning. Yesterday I did kickboking then to the park and ran a mile & a half. I was hoping for more but it was colder than I expected and my lungs just said “no”. Tea is steeping, there’s lovely rain — we’re in extreme drought — and I will make next week’s lunch this afternoon.
It’s 37 heading for 44 and overcast. We may but probably won’t get rain this afternoon. Yesterday we generated 9.1 KWHs and the m-t-d at 168.3 is definitely on track for something good. Even if today isn’t.
Lousy night. Sinusitis. Didn’t actually get to sleep until after 2 am and thus am slow and groggy today. I did manage to get my vacuuming done. And now I’d best get to my boosting. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
Good morning, 27 and light clouds outside my window today. I’m still heavily congested but the meds are allowing me to breathe. One more day of cortisone and then I should feel less shaky, just hope I keep getting better. Activity triggers coughing so I can’t do much but I am making slow progress with getting the house back in order. I hope to get the Christmas Spode back into it’s cupboard today. I really want to bring early spring to the porches but that will have to wait. Best wishes to all.
