Today is the 40th Anniversary of the launch of STS-1, the first Space Shuttle. 🚀 😊 I was there. It was awesome, just simply awesome. Reagan had gotten elected the previous November, but his destructive curse hadn’t started—yet. I still felt hopeful and proud of my country, though a premonition had put me on a wary alert. And, we got some much-needed rain here yesterday. The Nest is swept and Open. 🚀☮️🪐

Listening to Lionel Richie’s “All Night Long” now and checked in. The Nest wasn’t opened and lonely. So, done deal. 🙂

Good Sunday morning, everyone!😊 I figured I would wander into our Nest, straighten things up (not that it’s necessary), and open the door. Several positive items: the reintroduction of Medicare For All, the positive environmental folks like Deb Haaland that Biden’s staff have hired, and the union situation down in AL. I hope the workers say yes, and give Borg Bezos a big finger! Anywho, the Nest is Open. Enjoy! ☮️😊👍
**We are early morning risers down here. No problemas in making this a double dip OT. 😊👌

Bienvenidos fellow Nesters, Birdies, Progressives, Lurkers, etc. 😊 Got my second shot of Moderna last night. So far, the only side effect is a moderate soreness in my vaccinated left arm. I am high risk so very relieved to get it done. Anywho, the usual excellent suspects 😊 have left our Nest very tidy so I am opening the door and the floor. Everyone have a good Saturday, and stay well. ☮️👍
