Today was grocery shopping day - bigtime shopping; so, we drove to Hanford-CA
Holland was driving the freeway through Lemoore-CA, and I was enjoying Dire Straits tunes filling Betsy's cab as I watched the scenery - when I thought I saw a little rabbit enjoying the sunshine along the shoulder curb barrier … second & third sightings as we traveled along, afforded closer looks; and I saw that the little furry creatures were not rabbits, but ground squirrels - and the sun rays on their fur highlighted the reddish undertones:

Groceries stashed in Betsy's back seat area, we aimed for old town Hanford.
While Holland was fiddling with GPS, I was scrolling through my phone feed 📱 - and saw an article that caught my attention.
This is a GOOD THING!
It's about time common sense reigns again, IN America.
Climate Change is a political farce - Earth's atmosphere cycles every couple thousand years: nothing new or dramatic. This is how Yeshua created Earth to function; everything is connected & interlinked; some things must die so that something else can thrive and survive. Death has place in the cycle of Life.
The American Indian's claims of peace and prosperity before the Europeans came IS UTTER POLITICAL BULLSHIT. There may have been some timid Indians … BUT by and large, most Indian tribes were pretty much like Europeans in land grab maneuvers, slavery, sex-trade, pedophilia, homosexuality, greed, hate, ethnic cleansing, mistreatment of women, abandonment of children, rebellion, dishonest & blood-thirsty leadership, ect. I have Lakota Blackfoot DNA = the Blackfoot Tribe could be peaceful - BUT they were also fierce and unrepentant warriors when they felt they needed more land expansion. The Cherokee Tribe (which is 1 of my husband's bloodline) were not entirely peaceful people. The Choctaw Tribe (also in my husband's bloodline) was not peaceful at all - they were constantly in conflict with other tribes as they grew in population & expanded westward which involved constant violent interactions with Indians and Europeans they came in contact with. My ex-BIL's Piute Tribe was not peaceful. The mexicani tribes like the Navajo & Comanche were always in warlike conflict with other tribes, as well as Europeans - the Comanche often engaging in raids for slaves.
It's loooong past time America got back to REAL American History, and stop allowing people with grudges 😡 to rewrite accounts that only favor them ✍️, and are seriously dishonest in the recounting 👺
People go to visit national Parks for the landscape beauty and scenic views … there is no place for political bullshit propaganda in National Parks.
{{Trump orders national parks to pull Native and slavery history, climate change signs
Story by Camper FAQs • January 28, 2026
Over the past several weeks, National Park Service staff have removed or begun editing dozens of signs, exhibits, and displays that address climate change, environmental protection, and the treatment of Native Americans by settlers and the U.S. government.
The actions follow directives from Trump administration officials enforcing President Donald Trump’s executive order titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” The order instructs federal agencies to review public-facing materials and remove content viewed as partisan or as portraying Americans, past or present, in a negative light.
According to documents reviewed by The Washington Post and confirmed by Reuters, staff were instructed this month to remove or revise materials at at least 17 national parks. Some removals took place earlier, including actions ordered in August and September.
Among the parks affected are Grand Canyon, Glacier, Big Bend, Zion, and several historic sites across Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming. In Philadelphia, an exhibit discussing George Washington’s ownership of enslaved people was taken down last week at Independence National Historical Park.
The Interior Department, which oversees the National Park Service, confirmed it is implementing the executive order. In a statement, the department said all interpretive materials are being reviewed for accuracy, honesty, and alignment with shared national values, and that appropriate action is being taken after those reviews.
Changes at major parks
At Grand Canyon National Park, staff removed portions of a visitor center exhibit that described settlers exploiting land for mining and grazing, and federal officials pushing tribes off their land to establish the park. References to overgrazing by cattle ranchers, careless tourist behavior, and excessive profit from tourism were also taken out.
Park staff flagged additional materials for possible changes, including a video on Native American history. Suggested edits included removing references to federal policies that restricted Native American cultural practices and language, describing historical suffering and loss.
Glacier National Park saw several climate-related materials targeted. A brochure showing retreating glaciers and stating that human-caused climate change contributes to their decline was flagged for removal or revision. A video referencing glacier loss and a sign reading “Climate Change Affects National Parks and the Treasures They Protect” were also ordered to be changed or removed.
Other Glacier displays discussing air pollution, wildfire risk, and a nearby dam that flooded two lakes inside the park were included in the review. Air quality monitoring at national parks was paused last year.
Unexpected targets at Big Bend
At Big Bend National Park in Texas, nearly 20 signs were flagged, many covering geology, fossils, and prehistoric history. The removal orders did not clearly explain why those displays failed to meet the new policy standards.
Some exhibits were bilingual, and others described cooperation with Mexico on conservation efforts. While park staff did not advocate changing those materials, administration officials determined they did not comply with the executive order and ordered them altered or removed.
Former Big Bend superintendent Bob Krumenaker said park employees are following instructions from above and not making independent decisions.
Additional sites affected
Less prominent parks and historic sites were also included. At Bent’s Old Fort National Historic Site in Colorado, a sign referencing the forced removal of a Native tribe, slave ownership, and a historical miscarriage was slated for removal.
At Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site in Arizona, a panel about Navajo leader Ganado Mucho was listed for change. Grand Teton National Park was ordered to remove or revise a panel stating that Gustavus Cheyney Doane participated in a U.S. Army massacre of Piegan Blackfeet people.
Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument in Montana was directed to change text describing the United States as seeking land and gold while breaking promises to Native Americans. Another exhibit discussing U.S.-run boarding schools that erased Indigenous language and culture was also flagged.
Reaction from park advocates
The National Parks Conservation Association said the changes conflict with the agency’s mission to present accurate natural and cultural history. Kristen Brengel, the group’s senior vice president of government affairs, said park employees understand the history being altered but feel pressure to comply with administration orders.
Civil rights and advocacy groups have raised concerns that the review process removes context from well-documented events in American history. The Trump administration has defended the effort as a correction to what it describes as biased or revisionist narratives in public institutions.
For now, park visitors may continue to see exhibits disappear or change as reviews move forward. The National Park Service has not released a full list of affected materials or a timeline for completing the process.}}
We planned 🤝 on getting lunch at the new Wimpy's Burger Restaurant, in downtown Hanford-CA - yesterday was it's grand opening (we had been watching it being built since we've been here in CA, and we both remember those hamburgers stands from our childhoods): the 1936 restaurant was named after J. Wellington Wimpy - the hamburger-loving character from the Popeye cartoons, who would "gladly pay you Tuesday, for a hamburger today" 😂🤣
Wimpy character from the Popeye Cartoon.
Nov. 19, 2025; a relic from the Past we both remembered - is being revamped.

We weren't expecting the whopping price tag 💸. Holland gave me two $20's, thinking we'd be getting some of that back = I hopped out of Betsy and ordered 1 Single Wimpy Burger, 1 Double Wimpy Burger, 2 fries, 1 onion rings & 1 Vanilla Milkshake … I had to walk back curbside to get an extra 18-cents. When I was retrieving it, Holland was flabbergasted, "It was more than $40?? 😳" I laughed & said, "Eighteen cents, more." Then, I went back to sit under the canopy & wait for the order to be called. Collected, and eaten, we both agreed that none of it was worth $40.00 (honestly - it tasted as awful as what McDonald's offers, at twice the price for a sawdust-dry hamburger and tasteless gypsum-like fries). We won't be eating at Wimpy's anymore. But, you don't know 🤔, until you know 🙄 … and we've been spoiled by the juicy In-N-Out all beef-meat-Burger Combo's that come with hand-cut-fried on the spot fries, a coke; and a milk shake on the side = slightly over $25
I'm sure, that in the Past, Wimpy's was once a good solid, all-beef, juicy 'burger; but the Past is the Past - and today's burgers pale in comparison. MPO
On our way back home, we watched a new solar energy transfer station going up as another couple thousand acres of farmland is gobbled up by CA politics. These acres of solar panels look like an expansive lake from a distance: both panels & transfer stations take up a lot of land - and the return is not as profitable as people assume. These things cover a LOT of CA acreage, but the price for electricity continues to escalate: right now, where we have Independence set down, our monthly electric bill matches our space rent 🤦🏻♀️💰; half of our income is going towards electric which is not included in the space rent. And some of the construction workers employed by the transfer station being built, are parked throughout the Park, including those on each side of us.
Miles of farmland is being gobbled up by solar panels to 'cut electricity costs' - YET electricity is sky-high & rising.

Groceries put away, now is time to work a couple more rows on my current WIP while listening to Tony:

Please GOD! Intervene; and put a stop to this hellish insanity foisted on America by barak hussein obama and his he-she sidekick, and carried forward by the DC demon rats.
I watched the omar spraying, and it appeared to be faked to me: she is a media whore and will do anything to grab attention. The sprayer was probably on her payroll, hired to do this specific thing. It just did not seem believable to me.
Everything about her is false: e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. She can parade all day long, all year long, wearing her head covering until Hell freezes over; but that will not make her a truthbearer.
She's got sharp little teeth in a vicious little mouth that spews great big lies.
Just sayin'
