This is a long interview. I think it's the longest I have ever done outside of my old life in TV news. We covered war, NATO, Putin, the USA, the media, and the road to peace. I know I have said this before, but I am still very much a beginner in this topic and I know many of you will have contrary opinions to Stan. That said, if you set aside your bias, and listen to him discuss his personal views of his country, his President and Russian identity, I guarantee you will learn something in this. I did. I approached this as I do the others: I am trying to understand how someone thinks, not necessarily just what they think. We got to almost all of your questions - thank you for submitting, they were very helpful in balancing some of this discussion. As always, please give me your feedback in the comments. It helps me learn as well.
The kids mastered riding their bikes without training wheels over the weekend, so of course they had to challenge daddy to a bicycle duel. “Daddy, what tricks can YOU do?!” This is what ensued.
I like to keep my bones healthy and strong in case I fall off my bike doing tricks as someone in their mid 40s. That’s why I take the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from Green Pasture - it’s packed with food-based vitamins and minerals as well as omega 3s, made the way our ancestors did it.

The kids and I just finished a weekend of door knocking to get the word out about the proposed cell tower in our neighborhood. I know I have a background in talking to strangers professionally but I have to tell you, it’s exhausting. On the plus side, I’m getting to know a lot of my neighbors which has been very cool.
Don’t forget you can help by sending an email to our county telling them you oppose the tower. Just reference Blue Sky Towers Application # CU-2026-00003. Email [email protected] by 9/10.
What would you tell your neighbors if you were door knocking like me? I’d love some ideas!
Mommy Cow, our Angus, is back from the Love Palace where she had a bull-friend for 3 months. We are hoping she is pregnant and we will have a healthy calf come Spring. She evaded capture for a month so her return here is a little late but I guess she wanted to stay at summer camp a little longer.
One product I faithfully took during my pregnancies is the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil from @greenpastureproducts which is packed with nutrients like vitamins A, D & K. Now my kids take it daily. I credit it with saving my teeth from chronic cavities. You get 10% off with promo code “ALISON” at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
