I got a couple more pictures of the bald eagle eating the raccoon. It was joined by a sub adult eagle and a couple turkey vultures waiting off to the side. It doesn't show up in the picture but thru binoculars I could see the red heads on the vultures.

I love daytime baseball. Hometown Peoria Chiefs vs. the South Bend Cubs at #TheDoz. #PeoriaChiefs #milb

The hills are alive.

the realest part of The Metamorphosis is how on top of everything he is still expected to show up at the office somehow

These new ICE recruiting posters are weird.

Sunday night's pizza and a movie: - Pizza: California Pizza Kitchen Sicilian Recipe. - Movie: "Berlin Express" from The Criterion Channel's curated Three Noirs by Jacques Tourneur; a 1948 trümmerfilm (rubble film) set in post-war Germany.

A rainy day in the neighborhood.

Backyard #Astrophotography The clouds have finally lifted, so I took a look at what the Sun is up to--lots of small sunspots scattered across Sol's face. #Sun #sunspots

What better way to celebrate Christ’s redemption of humanity than by committing murderous war crimes against an innocent population.

anybody else get kicked out of CCD? If Jesus was half man, 'did he masturbate' is a legit question.

SF and Fantasy author Dan Simmons recently passed away. He was born in Peoria, IL and grew up in nearby Brimfield. The city of Peoria recently honored his memory. BTW - Brimfield was the setting of his early horror novel "Summer of Night" which I highly recommend.

Today is our 45th wedding anniversary. For our date, we went to Hardee's and had lunch while finishing a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. Tonight's it's grocery store sushi and a movie - "Some Like It Hot (d. Billy Wilder 1959 Criterion spine #950). "Look how she moves. That's just like Jell-O on springs!"

You know if you think about it Jesus was also self-rising

April 3, 1959 Because of its references to bad behavior in school (writing on the wall, throwing spitballs), The British Broadcasting Corporation bans The Coasters song "Charlie Brown." The ban is lifted two weeks later. #ClassicVinyl #MusicSky youtu.be/-t7GNMlDb_I?...

1. Trump's gets elected on A,B & C 2. Starts governing with pretty unpopular X, Y and Z 3. Finds toady to militantly implement X, Y or Z 4. X, Y and Z predictably make Trump super unpopular 5. Trump fires militant toady for failing him 6. Rinse 7. Repeat

Noem had a much longer hang time (time before first Times firing article and actual firing) than Bondi. Pam didn't make it 24 hours. Basically a 20 yard punt. Sad.
