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?

Wednesday Meese. Very alarmed by US moves in the Caribbean
That was my question – how did they know it was a “drug” boat? It could have been anybody.
Good morning, meeses! Wednesday …
It is 77 degrees in Tucson 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 95. Mostly sunny skies are in the forecast with a chance of rain this afternoon. There is a Tropical Storm forming off the west coast of Mexico that might bring us some rain – at least the “weather guessers” seem to think so and they put the chances up to 80% for tomorrow. It will be welcome.
I started scanning the news and it is filled with such garbage it is too difficult to sort out. People keep thinking that courts can stop the country’s fall into authoritarianism when the top court gave the green light to a monarchy! Sheesh. Nothing can stop the federal government from moving troops into Chicago or Baltimore or any other Democratic city they want to because the guys with the bazookas and tanks will always win. The whole thing delights tRump’s base and Republican electeds and that is all that is necessary for a policy to survive. :(
I have a few things to do today before the sun comes up and I best get to them.
See all y’all later!
It’s 65 heading for 85 and sunny at the moment. Yesterday we generated 12.69 KWHs and the m-t-d at 20.44 isn’t on track but it didn’t lose any ground either. We shall see what today brings.
I haven’t heard from Natalia yet so I don’t know if she tested negative and will be home today. I haven’t heard from the vet yet so I don’t know if there’s anything else we can/should try about Cloud pulling out his fur. He’s eating better than he has in a while and as long as he’s eating, I’m assuming he still wants to be here.
Slept until the construction guys started showing up next door so I’m running a bit late for a Wednesday. Need to be about my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
Good Wednesday afternoon, Moosekind! It’s 76 F. in Ashburned on another silvery September day. Sometimes cloud shadows dim the sunlight momentarily, but the clouds are white against a blue sky. I’m afraid a lot of trees are dying from lack of rain.
Was there a disturbance in the force last night? I had the night from hell, despite taking a sleeping pill. Dearly did too. I even had to go back to bed after breakfast this morning, before I had a shower. Wish I knew what is going on!
Overjoyed to find yesterday that I don’t have to do anything with the headset except stand very still while it is fitted on me. I think we’ll all look hideous, and as for some guy attaching the wires to my undergarments, he will soon find that his instep is crushed by my stamping on it. The instructions issued to us all read, and I quote: “There is no shame in the theater.” HARRUMPH!
Anyway, where was I—oh, yes, after my awful night I am about to take another nap. Had planned to get lots done today but have achieved nothing. Wish I hadn’t missed the Epstein victims’ testimony on the Hill this morning.
Wishing a good rest of the day to all at the Pond!
Good morning, 59 and clearing in Bellingham today. I see my new doc this afternoon and hopefully we can sort out my prescription refills. Not all of the meds transferred to the new doc, his office says they will respond to refill requests and get back to me but that’s not happening, they haven’t wanted to see me because of covid, the doc won’t send renewals to the pharmacy until he sees me, etc, etc. It’s an annoying mess and makes me miss Dr B even more. I hope I can stay civil and not be labeled “uncooperative”…..grrrr!
I did a bit in the garden yesterday, but it’s looking neglected so I think I’ll start putting it to rest earlier this year. I have some sewing projects I want to do and some aging in place tasks I have to do so that’s where my energy needs to be used.
Best wishes to all.
