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?

Good morning. It’s actually not raining, yay! Another nice, calm wfh day. Watching Le Tour — happy to see the Irish rider in yellow, he’s only the 4th ever and the last one was in 1987. The Americans are doing okay, one has been in 5th for most of the race. Going to take early lunch today and go to kickboxing. And that’s all my news.
Good morning, meeses! Wednesday …
It is 77 degrees in Tucson 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 90. Right now we are having a literal gully washer complete with lightning that sounds like rifle shots and an artillery barrage. The rain should end by midday and I will get my walk in this afternoon.
Do you think the Epstein List is being covered up because tRump is on it or because people he wants to blackmail are on it? Seems like saying it is nothing after it has been ginned up in feverish conspiracy mills for 8 years is not going over well. MAGAt on MAGAt hate is good in that it will keep them busy and maybe they will stop destroying the government for a while.
I am still trying to wrap up a project and get it turned over to the right people. Right now I have scraps of paper and more lists than even an Aries can handle so I better get going on them.
See all y’all later!
It’s 79 heading for 93/heat index 99, sunny at the moment and the A/C just kicked on. Yesterday we generated 15.41 KWHs and the m-t-d at 237.34 lost a little more ground. I won’t say I’m happy about that but all I have to do is remember last year when we had no generation at all to be satisfied with it.
Just checked the credit union and my Social Security came in. So I’m going to assume Diana’s (& Suzanne/aashirs nani’s) did too. I’ll hit the credit union for cash later today. Then go to the library for books and to the co-op & grocery store to spend some of that cash. LOL. It’s already hot and will be hotter by the time I do but even though the Subaru doesn’t have working A/C I’ll take it anyway. Need to charge up the battery. And I can recognize it in a parking lot. I can’t always recognize the Honda in a parking lot full of white sedans. Meanwhile, off to start my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
Good Wednesday morning, Moosekind! Ah got mah Social! Isn’t that nice? And Bfitz and presumably aashir’s nanny did too. It’s a nugly day, overcast, humid, and threatening thunderstorms. In fact, all week we’re under threat of thunderstorms.
I meant to check the garden today but had such a terrible night I couldn’t. Yesterday was very intense, what with Cardiac Rehab in the morning, getting my hair done in the afternoon, and attending the “Open Mic” night last night. Had a very good time, dancing with several of my Drama Club male friends.
Had terrible leg cramps this morning and felt so tired after breakfast I had to go back to bed. I meant to get so much done today, too! Have several emails to write and a meeting with one of my writers this afternoon.
Still haven’t even taken my meds. Better get to that and a shower. Wishing a good day to all at the Pond.
