Well, another senseless shooting at a gay club in Colorado Springs, CO. That happens to be a Religious Right area. Both James Dobson and Ralph Reed, a couple of A-1 prime examples of X-tian Fundie trash, have heavily infested that city over the decades. Still, LBGT+ folks are human beings. This is supposed to be the 21st century, not the 16th. And, of course, the sicko who did it put out plenty of warning signs which went unheeded, natch. 🙁 Out Nest is Open. Hope this finds you all well. Rant and Comment on, fellow Progressive Birdies! 🙂

Hope everyone is getting set for Turkey Day Weekend. 🙂 We finally got down in the uppers 40s (night) this week. Hooray! It means the hurricane season is ending. I know what snow is, being a DC native, but what’s going down in NWest NY is nuts! Buffalo, Orchid Park, Watertown, etc. They’re not measuring it in inches; they’re measuring it in feet! Look at the pictures. No, thank you. Our Nest is Open. You all stay well and take care. 🙂

I’m not as computer agile as other Nesters on here, but I can do the basics. Looks like Progressives aka us added as much as 5 seats to the US House. The Senate is inching towards a possible 51-49 D plurality. That is counting the GA runoff. I’m more sorrowful over the latest ecological destruction to my beloved sea coast. The beach erosion from Ian and Nicole is awful. 😢

Hola, fellow Birdies, Progressives, and Lurkers. We’ve still got flooding and closed areas up here in east central FL around the St. Johns River and related lakes. This female GOPuke who is running against FL Rep. Anna Eskamani called climate change “woke.” Really? You are THAT stupid and clueless? What a yahoo! Our Nest is swept and Open. Hope everyone is doing and feeling well. 🙂

Calling out any long time lurkers on here who are young folks! You know who you are. 🙂☮️ We need more Nesters to help out with keeping our Nest Open and Thriving. I’m getting up there in years and have a human shelf life. So, where are you? Anywho, FL is slowly recovering from Ian. Some areas never will. We’re still stuck with the reality that De##### will win re-election as governor. The tossup is Senate. I just got my mail-in ballot today. 👍 You can bet I will be voting. ☮️☮️ This Nest is Open. 🙂

Hey everyone. We are slowly returning to normal down here in East Central FL. It will be interesting to see how Southwest FL handles rebuilding. Plus, we’ve got the elections next month. It would be absolutely wonderful to dump both Rubio and DeathSantis, but I refuse to hold my breath. Anywho, the Nest is Ready and Open. You all take care and stay well. 🙂

Hola, fellow Nesters. I figured I would do today–Thursday Opening our Nest. I’m not going to be on here much the next few days cos our area of east central FL is likely to be in Ian’s crosshairs. It is looking more and more certain to make landfall somewhere around the Tampa Bay area. The northeast quadrant of a hurricane is the worse one. We’re just about ready. Thank the gods and nature, we are inland; and I sold the beach condo last month. We have the rain, power outages, and winds definitely to look forward to. Possible tornadoes, too. … Continue reading →
