@EOAK Glad you succeeded on getting more sleep!
I'm just bumming around the house, catching up on laundry and cleaning. Was supposed to be out with my family in the #Berkshires but they almost all have been down with #COVID so we skipped it.

TGIF, #FediFam, and while I watch the #NFLPatriots look not-great in their last preseason game, let's take a moment to feel some #gratitude for today and do THREE GOOD THINGS™️!
🏞️ Going to the #Berkshires tomorrow!
🌯 Made veggie burritos.
🗄️The Domestic Partner fixed the broken cabinet door in the pantry.
Be #thankful you're not Bailey Zappe, get some rest, and remember tomorrow is another chance at being better than today.

Live it up like the rich in the #Berkshires
By Glenda C. Booth, September 01, 2014
"A little over two hours from #NewYorkCity and #Boston, the Berkshires were a favorite summer retreat and playground for the aristocracy in the #Gilded Age, when the barons of business erected multi-roomed behemoths that they called 'cottages.' Think Carnegies, Vanderbilts and Westinghouses.
"These lavish, late 19th century manses today offer a glimpse into how the #rich got away from it all — all except conspicuous consumption, that is."

The #Berkshires has been the playground of well-off New Yorkers since the "guilded age"!
"I went to [Williams College] and have had a weekend house here since 2004. So we’ve spent long weekends and vacations here." https://www.berkshireeagle.com/news/local/well-go-to-the-berkshires-new-yorkers-share-stories-of-relocating-amid-pandemic/article_844a1068-5116-11eb-aff2-bf979c811140.html
Who cares what the voters want -- it's all about what BIG CORPORATIONS want! Destroy #Maine forests to provide energy for #Massachusetts? Why not build the damn line through the #Berkshires? Oh, because rich New Yorkers live there!
Voters said no, but developers have right to finish $1B Maine power line, jury says
The decision could be appealed to the state Supreme Judicial Court for the final say
by David Sharpe, AP, April 21, 2023
"The Natural Resources Council of Maine, which opposes the power line, said in a statement on Thursday that it was disappointed in the outcome and remains , 'sharply focused on achieving a just and equitable clean energy future that works for all Mainers.'
"'We’re pursuing home-grown clean energy sources, like utility-scale #solar, #OffshoreWind, and the #KingPine wind project in #Aroostook County that will deliver new and verifiable reductions in #pollution rather than a shell game that shifts existing energy for maximum #corporate profit,' the council said."

December is a #Blizzard in #Wyoming and a #Gale in on the l#Lakes
& the #Berkshires #Frosted like a plate of #Cupcakes.
It is #Bare #Trees & #Evergreens.
It is ground #Pine, older than the hills where it grows,
It is a stiff-tailed young #Squirrel scrambling up an #Oak #Tree...
It is #Ice on the #Pond, #Lichen on the #Rock, a #Flock of #Chickadees at the #Dooryard #Feeder.
