🚨 In prepping for this winter ice storm, boil eggs & bake potatoes for food you can eat cold in a power outage. Try to stock canned baked beans & nut butter (high calorie/no-cook proteins) too.

#TextureTuesday A puzzle piece in the dried carcass of a long-dead porcupine, found at the tree line in the wilderness north of Sycamore Canyon and south of Garland Prairie in #Arizona a beautiful summer day in 2020.

Today my son went with me to his 1st MLK March.
He ate 1 full fish fry plate with 2 slices of Texas toast, fries, a tub of cotton candy, 3 tacos, and a giant oreo funnel cake.
Did he absorb any history or meaning?
Unclear.
Is he back on for next year?
Most definitely!

I was given a coffee mug that says "Coach" after a successful Little League season. If you kick down my door, rip my thermostat from the wall while I'm out of town and then tell everyone my neighbors don't even like me, you can have it. 🥇

I relocated my dog's dishes 5 feet across the kitchen. She's now in a bewildered, paw-staring emo funk.

I adore these small water fountains in the 1929 Atmospheric movie house that is San Antonio's Majestic Theater. I love the color, and how petite they are. They don't work, but I'm grateful they've been preserved. #SanAntonio #vintage

*whips out a tape measure while shopping for a new oven*
Salesperson: "Ma'am, just tell me the model of your old oven and we can match it up with the counter width"
Me: I'm not measuring counters; I'm measuring how big the bottom gap is to determine how many cat toys could get chased under it."

If you're a Republican physician who donated to #JohnCornyn or #TonyGonzales, doesn't it bug you just a titch that you weren't offered up as an alternative to Dr. Oz and RFKJr?
How about you conservative judges out there?

Notice that if you say the acronym for #TrumpDerangementSyndrome "TDS" really fast it sounds like "tedious", which is fitting because this country is getting so tired of his over-played re-run ass.

I found this in the Indian section of Ali Baba a few months after our terrific visit to The Smithsonian/Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh. In with dozens of amazing displays is a room devoted to Heinz products.
I figured this was either going to be delicious or ick.
It was ick.
