New Hampshire Bulletin@newhampshirebulletin.com · 5mo agoCommentary from @danawormald.bsky.social : "I still see New Hampshire and the nation as fixer-uppers rather than tear-downs, despite what the well-heeled demolition crews in Concord and Washington say, in words and actions." #NHPolitics
It’s going to take more than $2 to get me to read a WaPo op-ed at this point. I don’t think they understand their business model right now.

Massive sewage spill flowing into Potomac River upstream from Washington - this might be a bigger story than the DC snow and yet the #WAPO coverage is one AP article.

Leaves are down and the stone walls are growing their winter moss coat in the morning sunshine.
Fair enough … who knows a scam better than a career scammer
I like the big holiday fireworks but sometimes the explosions of color you find on a walk in the woods are just as surprising.
Love this article. Nice to learn my dawdling walks in the woods are scientifically defensible! I know I feel better and it seems the people (and dogs) I meet along the path are happier than average.

Wonder at the optimism of spring white pines growing on NH granite … make the best of your day and situation.
Read this book when new four decades ago in graduate school. Didn’t appreciate it then. Now a classic and my understanding is better. “Americans had yet not learned the difference between yield and loot … the people of plenty were a people of waste.”

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.
