Got a nice photo of the Moon and Venus setting behind our Mulberry tree. They were within about 3° of each other this evening. May 18, 2026 about 9 PM CDT (May 19; 02 UTC) #astrophotography

Morning friends. There are still those amongst us that need to wake up.

Rock In Peace Dave Mason, singer-songwriter and guitarist best known as a founding member of Traffic, and his solo career and work with George Harrison, the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Fleetwood Mac, Leon Russell, and more. Gone to the big gig in the sky.

American exceptionalism.

Everything he touches dies!

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

Just a few days after we found her, alone and scared by the garage. I found what I believe to be her mother and another kitten killed while crossing the main road a short distance away. Figure she was born about first of May 2021. Always been a bit scared, she "nests" up high on the shelf. #Caturday

2026/03/05 We're a couple of counties south of the Tornado Watch this evening. Nothing to the west at sunset but some weak towering cumulus. #Weather #Severe

Take a few minutes to enjoy..... #music #baroque www.youtube.com/watch?v=PptQ...

I was hoping that this man had some words to say about US Military officers' use of christian theology to "rally the troops". We now display the very thing we accuse our 'enemy' of. The day is becoming sadder and I do not recognize my country's leadership any longer. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-SR...

First flowers! Rooted this Carolina Jasmine from the parent last summer and it spent the winter in the garage. The buds opened last night. Wonderful scent.

Aged like milk...

So. Just politics?

“By declining the State of the Union visit, the US Women’s Hockey Team’s polite 'no thanks' says more than any corporation, or tech billionaire, or media company is willing to say. Amid so much cowardice, it’s those who stood up who will be remembered…

On President’s Day, the First Amendment Troop staged “ResistDance” — a tribute and act of artistic dissent — at the Lincoln Memorial. ❤️ #FirstAmendment #ArtisticExpression

Makes damn good sense! I remember asking about that the first CPR instruction I received; nearly 50 years ago! #MedEd #MedEdsky #MedicalEducation www.youtube.com/shorts/-5_F5...

Yup! 👍

That should clear things up.

You've got to hand it to Trump. He and his regime of white supremacists are destroying the myth that whites are superior in any way.

Jack (F) and Tippy (M) when they were about 6 months old. They started getting a bit "frisky" and a trip to the vet ended chances of kittens. But, they remained "friends" like this. And now some 4 years later they still act as though they pair bonded. #Caturday

Every 5-6 months this seems to pop back up on YouTube. And I have to rewatch, because - - - why not! #music www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHLb...
