I haven't posted here in a while, but I am very proud of this. I scooped out a fly that was floating in my margarita. To my surprise he flew away. Both of us buzzed and happier.

KITTY just look at how cute she is

Penned by P.F.Sloan 60 years ago , turned into the voice of a generation by Barry McGuire. Sad that we just don't seem to have learned the right lessons. Eve of Destruction. More 60's protest songs PLEASE, because that's how far back we have digressed. youtu.be/nCeXiEXcgZM?...

@playmusicporchday.bsky.social Eve of Destruction from 1965. We've come a long way, baby. We'll, maybe not. #PMOTPD youtu.be/nCeXiEXcgZM?...

The #playmusicontheporchday instruments are traveling the world! #worldmusic #ethnomusicology

Help us get the word out on Bluesky! Any ideas on how to reach out to the world on this platform are greatly appreciated!

I could not possibly love this more. If every musician at every level played it Forward like this, and everyone else just stopped and clapped or sang along, then maybe music could really help in stopping hate.

Official Play Music on the porch day is always the last Saturday in August. I love playing music know my porch every day that weather permits. Why not?

With glowing hearts we see thee rise, the True North Strong and free ! #OhCanada

TODAY IS ELECTION DAY 2025 FOR CANADA. TODAY is the final real poll that counts. Political surveys and polls don't elect your Member of Parliament or your Prime Minister. IT'S YOUR BALLOT THAT ELECTS MPs - AND ULTIMATELY YOUR PM. YOUR LAST CHANCE TO VOTE IN THIS ELECTION IS TODAY! VOTE!

"This is the age of gangsters...." Yep. #ElbowsUp #ElbowsUpWorld #auspol

Canada Election day is Monday, April 28. MAKE A PLAN to vote. Advance polls start today til Apri 21. Check the Voter Information Card you received in the mail. If not yet registered, check elections.ca for options how to register, & when, where and how to vote. Represent! DEMOCRACY MATTERS.

The F-47 named after Trump ... Like the Ford Edsel, Henry Ford named after his son ... an abject unattractive & overhyped commercial failure.

Renaming Tesla to The Gulp of TrumpsAmerica

Somebody should tell him about that Trans railroad in Russia. It cost billions to lay , and no telling what goes on over that 5,772 miles from Moscow to Vladivostok. This is real!

It is abundantly clear from the ensemble of actions & messages, that the Mad USA King is willing to lie, deceive, cheat, oppress, fight, maim & even kill allies & US citizens to achieve his objective of wielding and securing a grasp on absolute power & more money. No protestor or resistor is safe.

This Jan 29, 2020 press release from the Trump Whitehouse archives. "Today, President Trump is signing his historic USMCA deal, making good on his promise to deliver fairer and more reciprocal trade for the American people." guess he should be FIRED! trumpwhitehouse.archives.gov/briefings-st...

I have this sick feeling in my stomach that we're only days away from the first high profile US dissident, be it a Congress member, House Rep, Judge, defiant billionaire or reporter - suffering sudden Russian Death Syndrome Be careful out there. Very scary times.

Voter turnout was 43%. Ford got 42% of the vote that turned out. So 16% !of eligible electors handed Ford an absolute majority. This stealth election is a travesty of democracy, nefariously orchestrated.

Indeed DOOFUS POoTUS fiddles with Canadian hockey BS while his empire burns. Day by foundations of US democracy get razed, but it's blah blah blah Gretzky ... Blah blah blah 51st state, Greenland, Gaza, Panama ... Anything to distract from his utter and complete lack of competent leadership.

S.O.S. Calling an election mid-winter in Canada, with no time to ensure Voter Information Cards gets to electors with when & where to #VOTE should be a CRIME. #Ontario #Election is TOMORROW FEB 27. Follow this link to know where to vote. voterinformationservice.elections.on.ca/en/election/...

Even after destroying the #Twitter, #Telsa, #USA and #SpaceX brands with his narcissism and boorishness, #Musk has no financial worries, now that he has his hand in the till of the largest cash register in America ... the US Treasury!

No. Not the US National anthem. youtu.be/1GH_bJfX03c?...

What do you call a filthy rich white trash billionaire who is morally bankrupt and mentally broken beyond repair? Mr. President, I guess.

Hey USA. How's that unemployment rate going? Inflation rate? I wonder what numbers Musk's brown shirts will make up.

Meanwhile, so much for “free speech” over at The Bad Place.

Big weather system stretches up the east coast of North America, from the Gulf of Mexico to Canada. Thanks to The Weather Network & Pelmorex for its accurate reporting! Muchissima graçias, Pelmorex. @weathernetwork.bsky.social #GulfofMexico

I made my love a valentine cyard.

How to stop giving money to Jeff Bezos 👇🏼

Instead of booing the US anthem at #NHL games & other events, which I am conflicted by, because there ARE good anti -Trump Americans, maybe we should channel our inner Billy Idol with some appropriate Mony-Mony like chants, and respectfully use our own National Anthem to show our mood. Bring it!

Should have done this long ago, but today: - @Disneyplus, @Netflix, @Amazon Prime - canceled. Gonna give @Loblaws Canada a chance vs Walmart but dump their ass quick if they try to profit from this. Happy that our favorite drinks are @Corona; @Espolòn Tequila; PEC, Niagara & New Zealand wines.

Buy buy Canadian-made products. Bye bye US-made products Nothing good will come of this on either side of our border. We ALL have to stand up against the perfidiousness of an unhinged bully who chooses to betray good neighbors.

8 hours 10 min left in this month from hell. I'm afraid to ask "What else could possibly go wrong?" because so much horrifically unimaginable has already happened.

To Fox News. Sit back. Close your eyes. Reflect on a President revoking security clearance of critics; moving to test Gov hires for their fealty to his agenda; pardoning 1600 found guilty of insurrection; threatening allies ... Now imagine it was Biden or Obama doing it. You'd lose yer sh!t.

REMINDER: The US civil service oath of office is a solemn pledge to support the Constitution, to act impartially, & to fulfill the duties of one's office. The oath of office is a tradition that binds public officials to the Constitution and the American people, NOT to a mad king or MAGA.

Winter can be ruthless and mercilessly domineering, yet also gentle, sweet and breath taking. Hard to love sometimes, and hard NOT to love on days like today.
