#KseniiaPetrova’s lawyer, Gregory Romanovsky, has said he was “blindsided” by the #smuggling charge, …“Less than 2 hours after the Vermont judge set a hearing on Kseniia’s release, she was suddenly transferred from #ICE to #criminal custody. This is not a coincidence. It is an attempt by the government to justify its outrageous & legally indefensible position that this #scientist working for the US on cures for #cancer & #aging #research has somehow become a danger to the community.”

Good day!

Sometimes, on a hike, you find the strangest things. I found this old car (1930s-40s?) fairly high on Blue Mountain, no present day roads close.

It was fascinating & creepy, a strange vibe in the gully there.

Meanwhile, this day-3 of rain & cold temps. I love walking in it.

Be everwell.

The front view of the abandoned car on the mountain, the glass, headlights, and wheels missing. There’s evidence of blue paint on it. It’s in a wooded gully, the trail curling around it. There are spots of sun on the scene, but mostly it’s dim, the sunlight bright higher up.

The back of the old car in the gully, and how I first saw it as I rounded the brush to the left. Its sloping back is battered, the rear cover missing. It’s mostly rusted, but there’s blue paint on the wheel well. The trail continues past it on the right and climbs out of the gully towards where the sunlight penetrates the forest.

"If rising global temperatures have you feeling worn down, you aren't alone. A new study published in Science Advances and reported on by NPR found that extreme heat can speed up biological aging in a way that researchers say is "similar to the effect of smoking and drinking.""

I am mixing cement and it makes me feel like a man!

An old, decrepit man who should be sitting on the bench in his back garden with a nice glass of red. #allotment #aging #OutOfCondition

A wheelbarrow full of cement. There is a spade laid across the barrow. A watering can sits on the floor nearby.

Good day!

Adversity makes us stronger, but we also learn from experience the best road to take to reach the sky.

This tree knew what it wanted to do & did it, even if it took longer.

Publishing at my age, I guess that makes me a bent tree that’s still growing.

Be everwell.

A pine tree that was forced to bend in the forest formed an unusually wide base before at last growing straight up. To the left, a path in the forest passes the bent tree and disappears. The sky is a lovely blue.

Good day!

I took this yesterday on my morning walk behind where I live. There were 3 deer in total, the other two much farther away.

Loud noises had scared the poor animal, & then I showed up. So, I knelt, which seemed to reassure it.

After it walked past me I took the picture.

Be everwell.

A young white-tailed deer with its back to the camera turns its head to glance back. It’s in the process of shedding its winter coat. There are trees and brush all around it, mountains and gray sky visible through the branches.

Good day!

I’m flying through the Book2 chapters, but the bigger excitement for me is seeing how my editing has drastically improved.

Take that, junior high English!

Two days ago it was 82F (27.8C). Now? 60F (15.6C) for the high, w/rain. Cooler & wetter tomorrow.

Be everwell.

Bright blue wildflowers thrive on a bed of pine needles, a large pine cone in the foreground. There’s a hint of green grass and trees in the background.

"If the upshot of all this were merely the shattered career dreams of a bunch of Gen X and millennial movie executives, this story probably wouldn’t have been written. But the implications for the film business — and for the wider cinematic culture — are actually pretty profound, at least according to many of the Gen X and millennial movie executives with whom THR spoke."

A study of 576 individuals aged 18-81, using MRI brain scans and self-reported physical activity, found that there was an inflection corresponding to decreased physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) at age 49, and that this was associated with decreased functional connectivity in the salience network area of the brain.

Good day!

My progress on this book is surprising even me. Welcome surprises are always, well, welcome.

Peace, I’ve discovered, isn’t a surprise, nor is it an external possession I can hold onto.

I create it within, because that’s all I can control.

Be everwell.

Does diet affect the aging of the skin? The simple answer is yes. Skin has intrinsic and extrinsic parts and the latter is affected by things such as stress, smoking and poor sleep etc. However diet also plays an important part- so eating a diet high in vegetables and fruit along with omega-3 fatty acids. The vegetable and fruit provide vital vitamins which are antioxidants. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found chia, flaxseed and oily fish.
