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”, Motley Meese! The week begins …
Morning low of 50 degrees in the Desert Southwest 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 64. Mostly cloudy skies are in the forecast.
Have a great day, all y’alls!!
Good Sunday Meese. Cold here in Kingston and snow expected.
Puerto Rico
Hurricane Melissa
Good morning. Watching local news to minimize exposure to the war stuff. Every time I think I couldn’t hate the rotting pumpkin more, he finds a way to make things worse. Anyway, loving the smell of my tea and, like I said, trying to avoid the war news.

Good Sunday morning, Moosekind. It’s going to be overcast and 45 F. in Ashburn. Today I have a lunch off-campus with a nice guy who will talk my ear off. Perhaps I can have a nap after I return home, during which my ear will magically grow back.
Dee, after all the other awful things that have happened in the Caribbean nations, now passengers are stranded! Who’d have thought it? I just can’t get over the awfulness. Next thing we know, American troops will invade Greenland.
Dinner with the UUs yesterday evening was OK, not very lively. Afterwards E. and I had our usual Saturday night date at the movies. It was “Karate Kid Legends.” I still can’t quite figure out the difference between Kung Fu and Karate. All I know is that I enjoy watching it performed by experts. We’re going to see “Atonement” next week.
First world problem No. 435: Apparently, as one ages, thick mucus claims the vocal cords. It’s exacerbated by the consumption of dairy products. Because I somehow have to sing in a few weeks, I’m doing everything I can to improve my croaky singing voice. Accordingly, I just gave away nearly half a gallon of milk and am now waiting for someone to claim the unopened pint of half-and-half. No milk in my strong black Indian tea will probably drive me nuts, but I need to do everything I can to improve my voice.
Next up: Standing in front of a mirror, singing through a straw.
With that thought, I will leave you. Wishing a good day to all at the Pond!
It’s 36 heading for 53 and overcast. Yesterday we generated 2.2 KWHs and the m-t-d at 15.2 is not on track and losing ground.
Natalia and I went to IHOP for breakfast. There actually was a family there but it was easy to be 20+ feet away from the only occupied table. It was admittedly twice the number of calories (for the same number of protein grams) as I normally have for breakfast. But it was a nice treat. Especially considering I haven’t done that in at least 4 years. LOL. And it’s a good to do little things that keep one’s spirits up occasionally, considering all that’s going on in the world that we can do absolutely nothing about but abhor. Meanwhile, I’d best be about my boosting day. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
