Today would have been my @Grandma_Klara's 97th birthday. Christmas 2011, I spent 3 weeks with her recording her stories for a novel inspired by her life. A collection of the interviews was published by Temerity Press. Here's a preview... Su meile, Senalė 💛💚❤️

San Francisco in a nutshell.
I pass well over a hundred drug users every morning, including many milling about outside our hospital and parking garage. I care for them when they land in our hospital and I’m proud to do that work.
But the city refuses to revoke sanctuary protections for the drug dealers fueling the crisis. It won’t enforce basic laws that could restore order.
And yet, when I stop for less than a minute to pick up my son from daycare, I get ticketed for not curbing my wheels on a 5% grade.
Lawlessness is tolerated. The law abiding are penalized.
So wonderful to see the positive transformation in the Motor City! And I particularly love that Hudson's, the department store of my childhood, is getting a second life. 👏 nytimes.com/2025/07/30/reale…

I hate that the democrats totally failed women and girls on this very clear issue of women’s sports being for females only.
The @WhiteHouse is filling up with athletes + advocates, ready for @POTUS to save women’s sports!! 👏 @IWV @IWN
I ultimately didn't join the Air Force when I had the chance at the Academy, but I'm pretty proud to work for such an innovative company supporting national security 🫡🇺🇸
(And we get to make super cool videos😎)

I'm wary of some of Trump's declarations and other sweeping changes too... but this lawsuit is a perfect example of why we need an advisory group looking at cutting government waste. washingtonpost.com/business/…

Congratulations and best wishes to the President of the United States of America @realDonaldTrump
Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on this special day! Looking forward to 🇱🇹&🇺🇸 working together.
Under your leadership as @POTUS, I see NATO spending more on defense. Lithuania already committed to allocate up to 6% GDP in 2026-2030.
Transatlantic unity is most important!

Inside Hurricane Milton, @saildrone reported wave height of 28.12 feet and wind gusts as strong as 75.95 mph while 40 nautical miles from the center of the storm. This research represents a collaborative endeavor to better understand the role of the ocean in hurricanes.
This makes me sick. Some people are really awful.
We're offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information on the shooting of a California sea lion. It was found at Bolsa Chica State Beach in Orange County, California on August 7 with a gunshot wound in its back; it later died from its injuries: bit.ly/3XXYFwE

This week's read 📙 In Category 5, author Porter Fox turns climate science into a gripping thriller. Throughout the book, Fox shadows explorers, oceanographers, sailors, and weather forecasters to understand the power of the ocean and its effect on global weather patterns.
We had a pretty busy Monday!

The US won the most medals by far and tied with China for most gold medals... but what does it say that China won that many more medals in events scored by judges??? 🧐 #Olympic2024 @nytimes nytimes.com/2024/08/10/upsho…
