Driving through puddles 

Is not that unusual -

Unless one lives here. 

Max Q

Crisp morning wool

Tea after tea after tea

Autumn renewal

Laurel

Sleeping in darkness

With the moon rising so late

Brightening my path 

Rikosan

Hubbard squash reminds

It’s a science fiction world

Native folks knew first

Yesterday's Out and About - Talking No Kings Protest - this Saturday! October 18, 1-4 pm BA Clark Park

Yesterday, I was not in the studio, but had prepared a recording. I gave details about the upcoming No Kings protest on October 18th - 1-4pm at BA Clark Park. I had prepared some speech items for the protest, as I had been invited to speak, but was later told that they didn’t need me. So, I used that preparation as talking points for the show and I also played music to get listeners in the mood to assert their first amendment rights this Saturday. 

I did get picked up to speak at the protest, so I am preparing some new material right now. See you there! 

If you missed the show, here is a link. For some reason, the recording starts about five minutes into the broadcast.   https://archive.kyrs.org/mp3/kyrs_251014_160000b.mp3

Today's Out and About - The upcoming No Kings Rally - October 18 - 1-4pm BA Clark Park

 

Due to an illness in my family, I won't be in the studio. However, I have a show that I prerecorded especially for today. I was slated to speak at the upcoming No Kings protest but then the organizers told me that they already had a full schedule of speakers and wouldn't need me. I had already prepared for what I was going to say so I took the points of that speech and made them into this radio show, along with information on the No Kings protest. I also threw in some songs I hope you like, just to get you in the mood.

Yesterday, I found out I was back on for speaking at the protest, so I am going to come up with something new for that!

Haiku Friday October 10, 2025

 I am kind of proud of my haiku this morning. I think I kept up with the rest of the gang.

Abandoned pennies

Lying here-there-everywhere

Treasures to be found. 

Eileen

 I pick up pennies 

That are lying on the ground.

Heads up, I’m lucky. 

Max Q

Friend, can you hear me

Heart promising safe harbor

Again and again

Laurel

On a warm fall day

A son buried his mother

Sadly, by himself.

Bill

The man in the moon

Can observe the lunatics 

Down here on the ground 

Rikosan

Soros sent me cash

For new antifa ascots

My squad looks great now

Yesterday's Out and About

Yesterday I talked with Leslie Ann Grove and Laurel Newnham from the Northwest Mediation Center. October is Conflict Resolution Month which made it a great time to hear from people who resolve conflicts for a living. 

We talked about how meditation worked and what were some things that the Northwest Mediation Center has helped people come to agree upon. I learned a lot.

 One of things I didn’t know about was their Restorative Circles. 

Do you have what it takes to be a mediator or mediator ambassador? Doing this kind of work is really needed in our current political and social upheaval. If you missed the show, you can listen to it here - https://archive.kyrs.org/mp3/kyrs_251007_160000b.mp3

Today's Out and About - Conflict Resolution!

Today on Out and About, I will be speaking with Leslie Ann Grove and Laurel Newnham from the Northwest Mediation Center. October is Conflict Resolution Month which makes it a great time to hear from people who resolve conflicts for a living. How can you become a better mediator? How can you become more involved in helping others with their conflicts?

Send a get well card:

The whole wide world is ailing, 

Needing words of hope. 

Max Q

An heirloom morning

Shrouded, whispering stillness

Tending towards hope

Laurel

All branches silent 

While the commander in chief 

Calmly babbles on 

Rikosan

A bright red rose hip

Part of the fall color scheme

Signals summers end

Bill

Mighty Bob Nixon

A wonderful friend to all

Miss working with him
