Yesterday I got a bit done on the woodpile. I want 40 banana boxes in my shed and 20 in the house by winter. I don't use the wood stove all winter. Spring and fall plus if the temperatures drop to around 0⁰. The rest of the time I prefer the wood furnace. Load it at 9PM and again at 9AM. And not much splitting. Everything 12 inch diameter or smaller just gets pitched in.
I switched to long pants yesterday. Sammie has interesting habits. The came along when I first sat down, but declined an invite to my lap. I noticed she had a few burrs. She went off and cleaned herself. Then she hopped up.
Good morning Resisters. Started the morning at 49⁰. They say we have a hurricane coming. As far as we are from the coast, it just gives us torrential rain.

This family is getting a lot of attention. But I think of the others too.

Last night, in the Ukrainian town of Mykolaivka, Russians struck a hotel with a FAB-250 aerial bomb.
Two animal rescue volunteers were killed.

Not much left of the hotel.
According to the anonymous Military Analyst:
AMERICA ISN’T CHANGING ITS MIND
Nothing says ‘no’ more clearly than the SecDef Lloyd Austin repeating the same thing America has been saying for weeks.
The Russians have moved their aircraft so you don’t need ATACMS (and by default anything else) supplied by the West to hit their airbases.
And then have your own efforts pushed back at you, ‘because Ukraine clearly has weapons of its own that can reach those targets anyway’. So you don’t need our stuff and the risk of escalation we think comes with it.
There is no way the US is crossing that line this side of an election and I’m not sure it will even after it.
They’re not bothered about Ukraine using anything it makes domestically- that’s their business. But at the moment they are using the ‘over my dead body’ approach to frankly tell the Ukrainians they are fed up with being asked and they won’t change their minds, so let it go.
Zelensky was at the Ramstein meeting in person and it was clearly a message delivered to him to stop embarrassing the administration by asking for what he is never going to get.
The Americans are so intransigent over it I can’t help but wonder if the Russians have actually made it a red line the Americans believe this time.
History will tell us eventually.
