Interesting. Here is a photo of Hegseth's so-called spiritual advisor, extreme Christian nationalist and marital rape enthusiast (not a joke, read his writings), the bloated and bearded fake minister, Doug Wilson. (I live in the same town with this disgusting excuse for a human being.)

In our small Idaho town full of American flags we prefer to fly the flag of Cascadia -- or the "Doug Flag" as it's also known, a symbol of the Pacific NW bioregion -- just to keep our neighbors guessing.

Here's Riley right after her grooming appointment yesterday. (Photo taken by her groomer.) This girl is a natural therapy dog and keeps us sane (most of the time.) 💗

Whenever we need a break from the dismal news cycle all we need to do is look at this beautiful little girl's face. Riley is the calm in the ongoing storm and an invaluable therapy dog. #BerneseMountainDogs are just the best. ❤️

Just to take a break from the seriousness of the day and lighten up the mood for a brief moment, here's our goober dog Riley who is very excited about today's snowstorm.

Perfect wine for the times. A Cabernet Sauvignon from Browne Family Vineyards in my home town of Walla Walla, WA, whose business motto is, "Make great wines, practice empathy, strive for excellence, and leave the world a better place.” Imagine that.

Riley, who is from Victoria, BC, and whose registration is still with the Canadian Kennel Club, has submitted a plea to return to the country of her birth. Only if we can go with you, sweet girl. #BerneseMountainDog

I think a lot of us are feeling like this right now. (Noble yet bewildered.)

A peaceful Sunday morning at our house. Facebook shut down my posts and replies for some unknown and random reason so now I have more time to spend with these two beautiful goons. 💕

A composite of Nolan and me from the FB profile post celebrating our friendiversary. You wouldn't guess it from the looks of this but we're actually the happiest married couple I know. A couple of sullen and moody musicians, that's us. (He's a rock/blues guitar virtuoso.) ❤️

OK, so she's not smiley ALL the time. Here's a rare photo of Riley at her regal and dignified best. It won't last long. ❤️

Will come up with something more interesting to post soon. In the meantime, here's another picture of our beautiful Riley (Baybern's Runnin' Down a Dream). Sweetest dog I've ever known.
