    It&amp;#39;s chilly. Leaves are starting to fall. I have the heat turned on in one room. I guess I&amp;#39;ll have to turn in my New Englander credentials with shame (violation of the no heat before Thanksgiving rule). Seriously, the weather seems more like what I remember from my childhood for late September. #newengland #autumnvibes

    Riding the storm out...Marvin really wanted to go outside. In the middle of a Nor&amp;#39;Easter, I wouldn&amp;#39;t blame him if he didn&amp;#39;t go, but he braved it. Now he&amp;#39;s wrapped up in a nice warm blanket. #DogsOfMastodon #Pugs #noreaster

    A thought poem #rumi #poetry

    I&amp;#39;m exploring the concept of retroactive impeachment for Trump. Impeach him, but backdate it to last year. This way, any pardon he writes for himself will be invalid since he wasn&amp;#39;t in office. It also makes everything he&amp;#39;s done an unofficial act, rendering the Supreme Court decision re: Trump and official acts moot and holding him accountable. #notalawyer #impeachment #hypothetical

    I don&amp;#39;t know why I bother watching the Sunday morning political shows. Every week, there is a Trump Administration sycophant spewing the most incredible bullshit about the Iran War, the poor economy, the price of gasoline, criminal trials based on retribution, gutting of voting rights. I could go on ad nauseum. It&amp;#39;s truly unbelievable that one person and one party can fuck up the entire world. They must be voted out. #trump #trumpadministration #kakistocracy
