PSA for Summer 2026

After spending the weekend in the throes of errands, chores and events, I came to realize that my annual PSA required a refresher.  

 (sigh)

Onward,

Monday

 

Sunday Morning Sip

Good Sunday to all of you!

To the rim.

 

Peace.  It's lovely. 

Sadly, when you find that understanding

of the value of unspoiled beauty, wildlife, 

solitude and spiritual renewal,

you realize you are nowhere in the majority. 

Sign me up!  

AI!!!! 

Still waiting. 

Than you, Wiley. 

Fuck Trump. 

Not an artist rendering!  

And actual collection kit available online!  

Brilliant! 

 

 

Sadly, spot on. 

 

 

 

Let's round out our morning and 

go jumpin' at the Woodside

with a little Count Basie. 

 

 

  

Saturday Morning Sip

And a happy Saturday to all of you! 

 

Don't fuck with the gorilla

until after his first cup.

 

 

Happy Armed Forces Day. 

I am sorry your Commander in Chief 

and the Secretary of Defense are such

fucking classless, clueless idiots. 

 

Calendars are marvelous things! 

...and it huuuurrrttts!!!! 

And his numbers go up by the hour. 

Goldie...

 

...dreaming. 

 

 

Organized Labor tried to get an Op-Ed posted in the WaPo 

which included a criticism of Jeff Bezos.

The WaPa editorial board sent it back asking

that the Op-Ed be edited to remove the criticism.

Reported on Monday by Keith Olbermann (around the 25 min mark) 

 

Pretty much how I feel about Bezos, in general. 

 

Damn right!!! 

 

And for that reason, I don't think I can ever plot revenge...

 

Ah-yup.  A McVodka Shake, please! 

 

Love it!

 

And now a few moments from Vlogger, Steve Shives

on the uptick of AI generated misinformation

on YouTube.  My husband fell for these videos about 

legacy Star Trek actors going after Paramount executives. 

 

 The meetings never happened.  It was all just Right-wing AI slop.

 

Love Steve's YouTube channel.  Been following him for years. 

 

 

...mission accomplished.

 

Yes, Cher... indeed.  

 

 

 

  

Project Update

The greenhouse - done.

 

 

Still have to dig a trench for the water and electric, but the structure is done.  Finished it this week.  Installed some shelves yesterday.

 

Got all the plants moved out of the game room and out to the gravel pad for the summer.  

 

 

Hung the dragon fruit from a Granny Smith apple tree. 

 

 

...and got the planks ready for the next project - a 15'L x 2'W x 3'H planter.

 

 

 

I'm... tired.  A good tired, but tired.  

 

Getting there.

The one with David Letterman.

My God!  Stephen Colbert had David Letterman on last night, and it was... miles above anything.  It felt like I was watching a finely honed comedy duo just riffing off each other - it was marvelous.  

The cold opening left me howling.

 

 

The monologue was spot on!

 

 

 

...and then... enter Letterman.

 

Part I...

 

 

 

Part II

 

 

 

And the David Letterman Part III

Brilliant!

 

 Two giants at the end of their era.

 

This will be missed. 

Onward,

Rade 

 

 

 

 

Your Daily Meme... and MEN!!!!

 

 Agree - 1000%

 

 Let's contemplate the antidote.

 

 

 

Ahhh.... that's better. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Morning Coffee Round Up - May 14

Giggles while having my first cup of the morning...

 

Something is always in season... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And good a Thursday to everyone!

 

Onward.

Hey! Don't forget to practice safe planting, everyone!

In an article on IFL Science, "The humble condom has taken on an entirely new role in remarkable research unfolding in the Amazon."

"Wander into the right part of the Amazon and you’ll find strange structures emerging from the forest floor. These cylindrical towers are sculpted out of clay and excrement.  Known as cicada towers, they’ve represented something of a mystery for scientists. We knew they were built by cicadas, but the big question was why?" 

For some reason, I thought of, well, all of my fellow bloggers when I read the article.  And here, I thought condoms were only good as chewing gum! 

Go, Marines!  Hoo-rah! 

Onward,

R
