Was life better in the '80s?

Electric cars are great (so I'm told, never driven one), but I've noticed their proliferation requires a change in driving. Back in the 90s and 2000s only exotic supercars could jump from a standstill to 60 MPH in less than 4 seconds. If they went full throttle for such a launch, you'd hear them.

A question, an observation and linguistics: Why do conservatives come off as angry & victimized even when they are in power? "Socialism," no longer a political ideology, is catchphrase for anything Republicans do not like. The only proper way to pronounce "socialism" is through clenched teeth.

Caution: Guard Dog on Duty! Well, at least he's holding down the chair. Never know when the wind may pick up. :-P

A few years of volunteering

I'll tell you a true story from Biblical times: While Adam & Eve were exploring the Garden in their earliest days they encountered the first skunk. Eve asked, "What do we do with this thing? It's kind of stinky." "I don't know.. put it over there," replied Adam, "It's better as an acquaintance."

As a furry, do you ever feel weird calling people.... weird? My neighborhood has a family who essentially "free ranges" their young children, a woman who does Olympic lifts on her front lawn and a couple who I often spot 50 feet up a tree in their yard wearing climbing gear, among others.

Have you ever noticed how the best conversations start with a prolonged, "Sooooo........ " . . Neither have I.

The mind in repose is a playground! Dreams stirred up this treasure from the 1970s/80s, growing up in the Commonwealth. :-) It is an earworm. You're welcome.

Steel lines are in ^^

This came up on my Facebook news feed (I shared this day in 2017) but I thought it better shared here. Has it really been nine years?!

Happy V Day! Observations from 2 years of dating: Many who say they look for a partner just want attention and sex Many of the few who honestly want a partner don't also want to be a partner And of the remaining, you find folks who want a partner to give direction to or otherwise fix their lives.

I shouldn't laugh, I really shouldn't..... but I did.

What beautiful animation!

We have a staggering amount of cognitive bias out there, people walking around with washed echo chambers for minds. Do you know the ways and signs (diagram below)? www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

I'm a Brittany spaniel. Come check out what you are at FSC2025 #furconai

Found an interesting feather. Any guesses as to the type of bird?

This is today!! I will be heading out soon to get some rounds in with my brother and friends. Please consider donating if you can (and thank you)! :)

It happened again! A strong line of storms approaching from the west I'd been watching on radar. I'm taking things inside and anticipating rain for my garden, only to have them dissipate at the city limits. It is as if the storm took one look at Raleigh property taxes and decided to circumvent.

I had an appointment for state inspection. The Honda said, "Ha HA! No..." After some trouble shooting, this happened.

Definitely looking forward to the v.2026 Bewhiskered, Arcade!

This has been an interminably hot, soggy, drenching summer and I'm already exhausted of it. Wake me up when it is Autumn.

Please consider donating to my fundraising page! Your donation to the 24 Foundation supports cancer survivorship and navigation programs. Less than three weeks until our cycling event in Charlotte! events.24foundation.org/fundraiser/6...

Repointed my feather display after finding the hawk feather you see at the back on this morning’s walk. I also found yet another of the neon yellow shafted feather you see on the right. I’d not noticed these before but now I’ve found 3 in a month!

Everyone’s got their babies this time of year (at Lake Lynn)

Zedd and Nullstrukt are teaming up to wish you a happy #FursuitFriday! And maybe also trying not to fall over. :P Zedd is @zeddtiger.bsky.social Nullstrukt by @morefurlessinc.bsky.social Photo courtesy of @jasonmiller.bsky.social

Somatic work taught me mindfulness. Crossing a threshold count of finding my face in my hands tells it's time to act. I'm often last to remain reasonable but I'm going to war at work tomorrow. Thoughtful, diligent, persistent. 3 traits you don't want in opposition. Cry havoc, I'm done with this shit

Always nice hanging out with you!

Wings I am seeing on a tiger. Great seeing you Zedd! Was an awesome weekend! I appreciate your help and support! @zeddtiger.bsky.social #furry #fursuit

Don't be pushed into your own extremism. Keep your eyes and your mind open. But. Elbows up.

I’ve not been perfect, but I am keeping steady on my New Year’s exercise plan even amidst overtime and tight schedules. Just means I must keep it short! This was wind sprints on a stationary intermixed width resistance training.

If what you are working toward and pining for stays elusively out of reach... This is life saying something else needs your attention. You are in a straightaway on life's race track. No curves just straight, beat after beat; it feels changeless. Time to check your mirrors and check your gauges.

"So you can't hold a star in your hand..." I love this song. It came up on YouTube's "forgotten favorites" from... gosh, a decade ago? Auspicious timing; 2025 has already been full of sound and fury. Rusted Wheel, seeking that better plan.

This is one of my favorite videos. I'm not on VRChat myself but I love hearing @voxdraco.bsky.social 's voice and his message. He seems like a kind and enlighten soul. This is an A/V equivalent of comfort food; it reminds me of the reasons furry fandom is dear to my heart.

Be gentle with yourself

Switched the Honda to winter tires this weekend. Here are my track tires in spatial order. They weren't kidding about NCCAR being hard on the front right!

"I love you please don't hate me" Our lives have turning points, this is dedicated to one in mine. The real scene was different & the same; this imagery reveals deeper truth than you'd otherwise see had you been there. Have courage to re-embody what was lost, heal & live whole

Happy SKUNKtober! Art by Checkhoff on FA; check him out ^^ Full Version will be posted to my AD account.

Life has crests & troughs. If you are in a space between (seeking employment, direction, companionship or health) you are not alone. Nighttime's serenity is silence, caught between what was & what could be. Darkness won't be forever. Longing is the imperative of life to seek sunrise.

Awwwww Yeah! Guess whose toilet's about to get bougie?

On a dark, rainy 6am drive to Burger King this morning I realized, I finally feel back in my life. After years it feels like I am myself again and in the driver's seat of my own life.

Have you ever hit a neural pathway out of the blue and relived a memory like waking life? Immersed in a time years prior w/ detail you surely took no conscious note of then? Normally I can't say how many red lights I caught yesterday but sometimes the mind's lid is ajar, and ghosts play.

Today I used a phrase at work I'd never before: "The small, OCD part of my brain is screaming into a pillow right now." It sprung to mind so I typed it in reply, thought twice about it but found no better way to express the sentiment, and clicked Send.
