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 59 degrees in the Desert Southwest 🌵 with an expected daytime high of 86. Mostly Sunny skies are in the forecast.
Have a great day, all y’alls!!
From the New York Times Editorial Board, who do you think they are talking about here?
If you guessed the regime of the rotting putrid pumpkin, you would be wrong. This is their description of Iran – who they call “terrible” – but when it is the president of the United States doing those things, he gets a free pass from the Paper of Record. Embarrassing.
