Reality doesn’t chase our beliefs; it outlives them.

She sits beneath an old tree’s shade,
phone in hand, day unhurried, unafraid.
Her dog sprawls close, a quiet guard,
soft fur dreaming while she stands watch, hard.
Two souls resting in a world that rushes by,
sharing peace where shadows meet the sky. #StreetPhotography #EverydayLife #monochrome

Downtown Lee Summit, Missouri. I’ve always liked the statute on the main street of town. Makes a great street photography photo. #Monochrome #B&W #art #streetphotography #statue

Trump declared the economy “historic,” which is true—low-income Americans are now living in a museum exhibit titled “When Groceries Were Affordable,” featuring ancient artifacts like $1.99 milk and gas that didn’t cost a small kidney. #trump #economy #history #affordability #news

Tiny zen on a sofa throne,
soft as sunrise, calm as stone.
But blink wrong and the peace is gone,
the angel flips, the demon’s on.
A heart of gold, a temper quick,
cute as heaven, fury thick.

A soft bed of mums, white and lavender in the cold November light, holding the last warmth of the season. Thanksgiving whispers through their petals, reminding us that even the quietest blooms can carry the loudest grace. #chrysanthemums #flowers #photograph #poem

I tried three ways to cook a Thanksgiving turkey. First I turned it into a lava rock in the oven, then I deep-fried it into a fireball, and finally I slow-cooked it into an archaeological specimen. The lesson is simple: next year I’m ordering pizza.

A young boy laughs beneath the spray,
hands lifted high to greet the day.
In shimmering drops his dreams take flight,
a tiny king in liquid light.
Where water dances, so does he,
a moment soaked in pure, wild glee.

Found this wall of license plates at the mechanic’s shop. Not sure if it’s ‘decor’ or a trophy room. Kinda looks like every car they’ve ever… let’s say defeated. If my truck disappears, I guess I’ll know where to look, right between Missouri and Maine. #MechanicMysteries #AutoShopHumor

A rose can cut through the noise of a rough day
a soft red spark against the grind.
You stop, breathe, and the mind unclenches.
One quiet bloom reminding you
the world isn’t all pressure and deadlines
there’s still beauty willing to meet you halfway.

NOTE: To America, Tariffs don’t hit your grocery bill overnight, and removing them doesn’t fix things overnight either.
The supply chain is slow, sticky, and full of contracts that don’t magically reset just because someone signs an executive order. #tariffs #Trump #economy #stupidity

Trump’s brag that Thanksgiving will cost 25% less this year? That’s about as real as a free turkey in Times Square. The truth: grocery prices barely dipped, and turkeys are actually up. The “discount” came from Walmart swapping items in their promo basket. Spin, not savings. #Thanksgiving #Inflation

NASA’s solar probe finally reached the Sun’s core and found this a massive Photonic Reactor pulsing like a slow heartbeat. Turns out, the Sun isn’t burning gas at all it’s powered by trillions of microscopic LEDs wired by nature itself. Scientists called it “a cosmic lightbulb.” Intelligent design?

Helios Institute unveiled the Photon Resonance Core, claiming it converts ambient light into stable micro-energy packets. The prototype seen here powered a laptop for nine hours using only daylight. Critics called it impossible, but investors poured in millions. Two months later everyone went broke

The Quantum Toast Array, a device so advanced it could both bend space-time and evenly brown bread. When powered up, it emitted photons of pure curiosity and smelled faintly of victory and popcorn. Humanity declared it the greatest leap since Wi-Fi, until someone used it to charge a vape.

Almost time to go back to work. Age is catching up with me. My biggest goal is to be sitting in my La-Z-Boy chair. But Nooooo! I have to go back to work. #Frustration #work #retirement #walker

Headed to the psychiatrist this morning,thinking I’ll just act completely nuts and save us both the suspense. Maybe start with, “The voices said this was a good idea.” If I’m lucky, I’ll get diagnosed and validated before lunch. #DarkHumor #MorningMadness #TherapyDay #psychiatrist

Red flowers fade beneath the snow, their laughter gone where warm winds go. No crimson spark to chase the gray, just frozen dreams where gardens lay. I’ll miss their fire, their fleeting grace, winter feels colder in their place. #Poetry #Winter #Nature #SadBeauty
