Just want to give jcb, Ms. Benny, and pb4 a big grateful thanks for opening/caring for the Nest the last few days. 😊👍☮️ So far, so good from the idiotic state of Florida weather-wise as no storms aka hurricanes in the immediate future. Hope that luck holds as the storm season is slowly coming to an end. 🍀The Nest is Open, you all. 😊👍

Good morning fellow Nesters (and Lurkers). We down here in hurricane-ville are keeping an eye on the weather. Tropical Storm Nicholas is getting set to dump an unholy amount of rain on the Texas Gulf Coast including Houston. Hopefully, SE Louisiana will be spared cos Ida did a major number there. 🙁 There are also areas near the Bahamas and the usual storm seeds–waves–coming off the west coast of Africa that are being monitored. So, I didn’t waste much brain energy on 9.11. Dumbya Bush belongs in jail, not running around free as a bird, giving speeches and painting. Enough said. The Nest is swept and Open. 🙂

Hurricane Ida, what a mess. The storm is over very warm water now and intensifying. The good news is people are evacuating, and/or seeking shelter. No yahoos bragging about hurricane parties. The very bad news is Covid. Hospital ICUs are filled to capacity down here. The heroes are the medical personnel who are doing their very best to protect the very sick. Some patients can not be evacuated cos of serious medical conditions. It’s bad, folks. We are fine here in east central FL, but there are two more months of storm season. Yuck! Plus climate chaos. What a world. The Nest is Open.

Figured I would do the honor of opening our Nest for today and tomorrow. 🙂 The People’s Party is dropping off a M4A petition, and holding a M4A Rally in AOC’s District in the Bronx today. Excellent idea cos it keeps a spotlight focused on an essential issue. The Nest is Open.

There is a terrific environmental link on NC that I read/watched today. It’s a YouTube video called “The Weir.” It describes the peaceful relationship between humans mapping and studying salmon, and Grizzly bears. The research has been going on for over 45 years. The area is beautiful, protected and undisturbed. With all the climate catastrophes happening, this is a positive shot-in-the-arm. The Nest is Open.
