I shouldn’t have to go outside to get warm….in NOVEMBER.

Republican “healthcare plan” in a nutshell

It got a little pinky this evening.

Clara Luper National Sit-In Plaza, Oklahoma City.

Winter Wisps

On our way to the OKC Thunder game and we stopped by the brand new Katz Drugstore Sit-In statue. We just happened to be there when Miss Betty Germany was posing with her 17 year old self. It was really kind of an honor to see her and listen to her story.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Trump is at least smart enough to know foreign wars are unpopular. But a war on America itself makes his base giddy. The circle of life. We’re gonna get American taxpayers to fund American defense contractors to supply American troops to shoot at American taxpayers.

As Republicans try to shift the focus from guns to antidepressants, remember: There’s a difference between bad arguments and unserious arguments. Republicans aren’t just wrong, they’re not even trying to be right. The goal is to survive a news cycle, not win a policy debate.

I believe that I am being “Rick Rolled” by #AGT

There is no better eating than a fresh homegrown tomato. Well, you can imagine my disappointment when harvest time came around.

Right out the front door this evening.

Underfunding public education may attract predators to school districts. Ryan Walters’ policies need scrutiny by sex abuse experts. Predators will work for near nothing to be around their prey. Starve public education - you’ve created the breeding ground for predators in schools.

Wow!! Just home from seeing our OKC Thunder wrap up an unbelievable season with the NBA championship. WOW!!!

Hearing rumbles of thunder. This is a good sign for the OKC Thunder tonight.

Visiting the lake today. Haven’t seen a Mimosa tree in ages. A very common sight 50 years ago.

Tr*mp’s next court session. "Do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?” “I don’t know.”

It just goes to show you that great family wealth, being from a storied political dynasty, and having an expensive education mean absolutely nothing when you’re just a perverse piece of shit.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

It was 39 years ago that Sharon and I were wed. Somehow it seems like last month. Someways it feels like forever (and I mean that in the best possible way).

My daughter just turned 50. My gawd this makes me feel so old.

Saw this while walking back to the car after the Thunder game.

Wife and I took a road trip for a couple of days. Had no internet or tv. It was windy and turned cold. This didn’t stop us from seeing some beautiful sights. I love the juxtaposition of dead winter trees with the rebirth of spring starting to show itself.

Science follows freedom of speech and democracy.

Weird sky colors. The wind has been blowing 30-60 mph most of the day. Lots of dust and smoke filling the air. So much crap blowing around I won’t bother picking it up until things die down a bit.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

I can never keep this straight - do the tariffs move forward or back tonight?

Saw this tree trunk and thought it was kinda knarly.

Got a chance to run out to the lake today. Spring isn’t here yet but there are subtle signs. (And by run, I don’t mean that literally.”

It’s just Mad Libs now… ______ has been taken over by Mexican ______ and we should all be afraid of ______ that will _____ our _____, because of Biden.

On a flight tonight with a full moon. Flying above a thunderstorm. It looked really cool the way the moonlight hit the clouds and then the lightning flashes.

The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.

The colors were giving me real “Wizard of Oz” vibes.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)

This is the only flag I’m flying today. For Janey. #Trumpisacunt Let’s make it trend.

"Masculine Energy"

About 9 months ago, my wife got a wild idea and rearranged our cabinets (the contents). It drove me crazy trying to find where something was, because it had been in the same spot for years. Fast forward to yesterday. She rearranged them again! I believe she’s trying to drive me insane. I love her.

I can't watch any of this. It's gonna be a very sad four years. It's quite clear the the GOP has completely forgotten how to lead or govern. Point and blame is the entirety of their politcal skill.

On our way home from the Thunder/Cavs game, just had to stop and attempt to capture this scene.

Love getting out of the house (sometimes).

On a trip to Lake Wister last spring.

Wisdom from his many years.

It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s beautiful. All in all I prefer summer.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Wasn’t paying attention and Harrison found the cheese tray on the table.

One of my favorite pictures I’ve taken. We were at a conference in Puerto Vallarta. This was sunset from our balcony.
