mastodon 4.8.0-nightly.2026-10-06Retired educator, mom + grandma to daughters, granddaughters + rescue cats. I'm an introvert and spend lots of time researching family history, reading, gardening and walking.
Good morning + happy #SofaSunday to all. I hope all moms have a chance to spend some time with their feet up, enjoying some peace and quiet today. (Actually that is my wish for everyone, but if it's possible, tell your mom you appreciate her.)
I'm going to enjoy the gorgeous weather. If yesterday's rain doesn't produce too many mosquitos I'm going to plant zinnia seeds in a small patch out back. If bugs are too bothersome, I'll keep the cats company on the screened porch.
Last night's Town Hall meeting was attended by hundreds. The company behind the cable landing station, (first step to data center build out,) was met with stiff opposition. At times the public comments/questions were so angry I almost felt sorry for the company representatives. Until I remembered they've bought the land for $1.6 mil.
Folks around here are fiercely protective of our fragile seashore ecology. They weren't buying any corporate promises. We'll see what happens next.
