Finny (b&w) and Lukus (tabby) just want empty boxes and crumpled wrapping paper for xmas. #caturday

I like to play Assassin's Creed. The latest is Shadows, set in 16th-century Japan. Having just visited Japan last year, I am so impressed with the developers' attention to detail. Assassin's Creed has always had this hallmark.

Finished the 6 part series, The American Revolution. Wow! What a story! Politics that I wasn't aware of. Events I didn't know about. It became a world war and the outcome has influenced the world ever since. The birth of the United States truly shaped something the world had never seen before.

Watched The American Revolution, part 5, last night. France joins in. Spain helps, if only to hinder the British. The years toll on. More hard winters. Hardships everywhere. It’s a wonder that progress was made at all.

Whatca doin'? #caturday

Trump's war on clean energy gets a setback. 👏👏👏 tinyurl.com/4kuy35u5

So red!!! Nikko, Japan. November 14, 2024.

And Part 4 of The American Revolution. !!! If I didn't know the outcome of the story I'd swear Washington is going to loose the affair from these early years of miscalculations. And the amount of hindrance the Loyalists put up! The Patriots have their work cut out for them.

Saw Part 3 of The American Revolution last night. It continues to amaze me as to the length of time events take in 1776. We are so accustom to instant news and weather not really slowing us down all that much, so to see whole armies pack it in for the winter is a reality check for sure.

From years ago. The first time Bolte saw a train set run. He was baffled and confounded. #caturday

All I can say is …

Watched Part 2 of The American Revolution last night. In today's world of instant news and fast travels, it's a fascinating reminder as to how long the time periods were between each of the important events leading up to the Declaration of Independence. And there's so much of the story left to tell.

We started watching The American Revolution last night. I'm impressed with all the detail, especially the many English taxes and military actions that went on that pushed the folks identifying as Americans, not British, to react. We all know about the tea, and there's so much more. Part 2 tonight.

This is World AIDS Day. Trump is ignoring it.

My first oil painting. I started it when I was 14. A neighbor painter helped me to begin it. Most of the upper half was done that summer. I then put it away until the following year when I finished it. I'm pretty pleased with the closest rock and my brushwork on it. #oilpainting #painting

Can't get up for awhile. #caturday

Today, November 28, 2 years ago, 2023. The view — this is why we live in this specific home.

I am so glad I won't be having my Thanksgiving meal at a table that has a Maga at it, too. I've read that some folks will be suffering through that. I don't think I could.

The one that got away. #caturday

Just trying to have a restful Caturday. #caturday

It just can't come soon enough …. #EpsteinFiles

I got a new chair and Lukus quickly found the top of the back cushion was suitable for napping. #caturday #catsonblueky

ICE is active on Kauai. Just received an alert from our local Democratic Party of Kaua'i Chair.

He's always been a fraud.

Cardboard box, packing paper, cat … inevitable. #caturday #catsonbluesky

Here's some new Creatures of Hawaii t-shirts. In the midst of resisting and declaring "I am Antifa", I must use my creative drive to help relax some — these days are intense. #GraphicArt #HawaiianNature #Aloha dragonhousestudios.etsy.com

My old George enjoying the setting sun days of his life. He was one of the best kitties I've ever known. #caturday #catsonbluesky

If there wasn't a special obit in the headline today, the news that the Nobel Peace Prize went to Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado was almost as good.

One day they all will have to answer.

It's all to dodge the Epstein files.

It's Bandcamp Friday. 🎹🎸🥁 All monies go directly to the artists, which is myself and my musical partner Andrea. As 8000 Miles, we made a couple of progressive rock instrumental albums a few years ago. This is the first. ⇩ The 2nd is listed there, too. 8000miles.bandcamp.com/album/aggreg...

Something I try to do …

It's good to have friends ... #caturday #catsonbluesky

Finally, an explanation …

Some interesting photos on the credenza as he signs his birthday card to Epstein.

On a baseball note … #ABS #baseball

Memorials, statues, state funeral … No. Just stop. #charliekirk
