We have never been on campus in the winter before. This time, the daytime temperatures hovered around 23F, and at night got close to zero. The campus is in the middle of a huge construction boom, with multiple areas closed off and full of construction equipment. Snow was everywhere. One of the new buildings going …
Here are some learning articles posted on X. It is a platform that has more than just current events and politics. There are hundreds of thousands of accounts posting historical, cultural, nature, and other valuable information for people to expand their horizons.

This was such fun, Hubby had a ball! https://videopress.com/v/3vCQuOzQ?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Fun with skaters-watch the birdies too! Hubby loves penguins, and these were especially cute.

We noticed some bright blue lights nearby, so after dinner we went outside and found this. Lighted hollow ornament We thought it was very pretty. And the lights weren’t just …
And he is missed, now more than ever, as our country is plagued by Leftist violence, almost amounting to a new Civil War. But this time, it's less civilized and barbarian. Anyway, I thought I'd dig up some of Rush's best quotes about the Left, and the DemocRat party. About how DemocRats see the Founding …

...or The Civilizational Suicide of Europe. For the past 20 years, European countries and the EU have been engaging in behavior that is leading to the potential downfall of Western Civilization. Formerly clean, beautiful cities are now filled with trash, graffiti, and homeless tents. Christmas markets are canceled or shortened. Crime, including rape of women …
