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. We had loud thunderstorms last night, quite exciting. Getting ready for work. I hope people living where there were primaries yesterday had good outcomes.
It’s 67 heading for 86 – less humid today so heat index’s about the same – and sunny at the moment. Yesterday we generated 14.41 KWHs and the m-t-d at 34.4 is on track for the “over 500” goal.
Basket got safely home by yesterday afternoon. Apparently the winds were so high at SFO that the flights were severely limited. He spent the night in KC, made his 6 am flight to Denver, then the flight & got into SFO close to noon. The final leg – to Sacramento was short with no issues. I think once he convinced the cats that it really was him, he slept most of the rest of the afternoon.
House is open. We’ll have to close up in an hour or so but it’s nice to get fresh air in the house. Yesterday was weird. My thread at Xitter was seriously welcomed back by the folks who noticed – and at least 20 folks noticed. Aji made a point of coming to Xitter to tell me she knew about it and that the “outrage is gratifying”. Several other folks who post in both places said similar things. I hope that translates to being reinstated. I may try to sign in this morning and see what happens. But as long as I have Xitter I can still keep boosting folks. Even some of the same folks. There are a few folks I need to look for at Xitter, hoping they’re still there and at least occasionally check in. We shall see what life brings next. At least when DK banned me I could get into my stream (that doesn’t exist on the new site) and see what & how folks I followed (who were not carried over to the new site) were doing. I could & can still search for folks I wanted to check on and all that. Can’t do that on Bluesky. sigh. But I’d best be about my boosting day. I need to adjust the wording of my MA thread at Xitter. What I put up yesterday was very truncated. I think I’ll leave it shorter than it was, but I want to flesh it out a little more. Holding the Good/Healing/Protecting Thought for everybody. {{{Meeses}}}
