Horrible slushy weather there now.. I remember that sort not fondly.. especially when it froze at night. Very dangerous to walk on in the morning.

Leaves have turned yellow now, short summers and autumns, long winters.. 

Hi Sue, two months more here and it'll be heavenly down here too... can't wait. Clouds over the supermarket today look menacing...hope I spelled that correctly!!  And looks like stinky weather is on the way..   No word from MD or daughter yet... Almost a year since she wrote anything.. 

Hi Phoenix.  I'm cooling down just looking at this camera.  Only 104 today!   In two months or a little less the weather here in Phoenix will be heavenly.   

Looks like Autumn is starting to close in.. not many months since it did.. 

Hi Stargzr.  Not a word from BJ!   Beginning to think the worst.   Marjorie Taylor Greene for dog catcher!   LOL.  Glad to see you are still hovering.  ðŸ˜‚

Hi Sue, just letting you know I'm still lurking.  I seem to remember MD telling us that she had arranged with her daughter to let us know if anything happened to her...on the other hand, I've not heard any mention of BJ lately.  Let's keep a positive thought!

George Santos for president.  : )   : )  :  )

Hi Stargzr.  Good to know you're still there!  Best wishes for a very happy and healthy New Year.   And let's hope that Trump in a Dress Kari Lake will crawl back under a rock.  Or she could be playing her cards to be the Orange Turd's Vice President!   Hope as well that M D is OK.  My family has all has Covid.  Being vaccinated and boostered help us deal with it.  

Happy New Year, Sue!  I just happened to check in after ages of neglect of Opentopia.  I certainly hope all is OK with MD.  We went through this once before when she had a bad case of flu and were quite relieved when she signed on again. Fingers crossed!

Meanwhile, all is well here in Oregon... I hope you are enjoying the Kari Lake fiasco.  :)

Keep well.  I'll check in more often for updates.  Have a healthy, happy 2023.

Hi Stargzr.   MD has gone MIA!  Hope she is okay.  

Hi MD.  Where are you?

Hi MD.  We watch Glenn Kirschner every day and find ourselves repeating Because Justice Matters!   Glenn really, really wants the Orange Turd indicted and dressed in a size XXXXLarge jumpsuit!

Hi ladies ....  Happy Thanksgiving!

Speaking of mentally challenged -  Herschel Walker is the gift that keeps on giving:

Lindsey Graham's ears pricked up quick smart.

I watch Glenn Kirschner every day ... because justice - matters.  LOL

I detest Pompeo but I'd love to know how he lost the weight.  I think he's tried to "glam up" for a presidential run. I can't think of a decent Republican for president though I'm sure there are a lot of them unhappy about the MAGA movement.  They just don't have the backbone to stand up to Trump because mean tweets really hurt ... or mean troths.

I'll have to get BJ on the case. I can't remember what she did - it's been 4 or 5 years.

I hope you both have a lovely Thanksgiving.

Ps ..... my dark chocolate oranges will be delivered in less than 3 hours, not that I'm counting!  LOLOLOL

I'd like to smack that smug Pompeo.   Such arrogance.  Smarmy!

Had a giggle at Troth Truth Sentral..Trump has destroyed this country, he let all the idiots and mentally challenged lose. On a brighter note, I prefer the milk chocolate version, but dark chocolate is supposedly better for you.. :-)

Pompeo is a Republican.. People don't like Pence. Elon Musk has let his money take over his brain, if he ever had one.. Wish that Biden was a good bit younger! But.. on a brighter note, Trump has to give over his tax documents, so that should be fun. 

Hi MD.  Much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.   I think you can guess a few things on that list.  As for Trump "running" again -- Kari Lake has just visited Mar A Lago.   Maybe they both will self destruct or eat each other alive, competing for attention.   I hope BJ can figure out how I can send you a couple of pics from our trip.  We're finally feeling better but I still have a cough and it's annoying.   Watch Glenn Kirschner on YouTube if you can.  Hubby and I enjoy his daily Trump bashing.  

Hi Phoenix .... what about Pompeo?  I don't think Pence stands a chance.  And what on earth is going on in Elon Musk's head?  I can't wait for Trump to tweet more evidence of his crimes ... but no .... he won't go back there because Troth Truth Senchal is far superior.

I think it's very sad, the amount of damage that has been done to America by Trump's MAGA party and the rest of the GOP who are afraid to stand up to him.  The UK has rubbish politicians but they get thrown out pretty quickly - only to be replaced by another bunch of dolts.

On a much brighter note ....

I prefer the dark one.   LOLOLOL

MD, the waste of space and oxygen is going to run for President in the next election... plus our old orange friend Trump. What a duo!! Wouldn't be surprised if waste of space was elected. The mentality of some people here has me wondering. Think Pence is going to have a bash at it too. Lord almighty, what has this country come to! 

Hi Phoenix.  I saw that Beto lost and then I gave up.  I'm so disappointed that DeSanctimonious won.  It's so deflating. I feel bad enough and I'm in the UK.  I'd be drowning my sorrows if I lived in the US.  I'm sure the rest of the world is waiting to see the outcome.  I just can't bear to look at any more results.

I'm very glad to hear from you though.
