Sunday Morning Sip

The last Sunday of Pride month... 

Yes, a repeat, I know, but... 

a nice way to end this month.

 

 

 

I just hope they don't ask him the question...

 

We get water? 

 

...on so many levels... 

 

Oh!  Miles, Miles, Miles...

 

That beach is calling to me. 

 

Really? 

 

My prayer candle for 

better times ahead. 

Uh-huh. 

 

Let's do some chakra clearing, shall we?

Repeat after me...

 

Well... sorta. 

Until MAGA corrupted that reality. 

It's just so... damn... hard. 

There!  Much better! 

Trying to... so... hard...

 

I just gotta remember...

 

 

 

 

Saturday Morning Sip

This, the final Saturday of Pride Month, 2026.  Happy Saturday, everyone.

Black on black.

 

...yes, we're doing Florida in October... 

You think people read signs? 

 

Thank you, Jackie Sue! 

 

And to the rest of you... 

Behold, the "Fist Of Pride"!  

Perhaps a visit to Florida beaches won't be too dull... 

Yes, refill, please. 

Anxiety is good. 

 

I get that a lot from my phone... 

The grift that keeps on grifting. 

 Oh, Cher!  Sing it sister!

 

 

 

I miss him!!!

From Stephen Colbert... 

 The brilliance has not faded.

Memes... and MEN!!!

 

 

Thank you, Wiley. 

 

Let's talk art, shall we? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"The Independent Man"

It was down for restoration a few years back,

but is once again adorning the 

top of the RI Capitol dome. 

Just impressive to see it up close!

Happiness is...

 

 

...finding a very content salamander just hanging out in the cats outdoor water dish (following Tuesday mornings torrential storms).  Shortly after moving into our home 22 years ago, it was deemed part of a toxic "Superfund" location by proximity to a 1980's sewer main project that put arsenic-laden back-fill under a road a quarter mile from us. We had subsequent bore tests run, and our property was cleared a few years later.  To me, one of the better markers of a clean property is the routine discovery of salamanders; one natures most susceptible amphibians. I often find them in damp soil, under rocks and deep in piles of debris.  

 

I set this one free in a large flower bed a few feet away.
