Sierra Vista, AZ - about 1,000 people and lots of support from cars honking like crazy.
I’m here because I love my country.

The boat that was blown up off the coast of Venezuela was crowded with people. That’s migrant smuggling not drug smuggling. We murdered those people. Look at this Yale graduate’s response. He’s a useless dishrag of a man.
Social media post by JD Vance misleading the public about the reason for blowing up a speedboat and bragging that he doesn’t care about the public response.

There are some many fantastic political cartoons.
Three trick or treaters at a door. One says she’s a witch. One says he’s a cowboy. The last is Nixon saying he is no longer the most corrupt president ever. Trump dressed as a witch saying he’s melting while the flying monkeys from Oz say nice Epstein files distraction.

This tea prevented homicide. Walmart on the weekend is a test of patience and grit. I had to sit down and breathe before checking out.

One day late - despite the heat in the Southwest, I have some lovely blooms.
Salvia, butterfly bush, and yellow bells. Another view of the butterfly bush and the yellow bells with some white salvia to the right.

That’s right. Rub in the salt, Steve. LOL. Two weeks ago I was in Ireland. Now I face above 100 degree temps daily in the American Southwest. 🔥😖🥵

#Dublin #Ireland We tried the Guinness zero at the end of the factory tour. One sip and we were done, but multitudes love this stuff. It’s sad to me to see posts of people who go to Ireland only to bar hop. It’s a gorgeous country that does not reside in the bottom of a glass.

We took a second Paddywagon tour up to Giants Causeway. Professor Hannah Fry has a great video on this: youtube.com/shorts/Rvr0t...
Hexagonal rocks by the sea. Dozens of hexagonal rocks in lines at Giants Causeway. Hexagonal rocks by the water that look black because they are wet.

#Ireland #Howth
Howth is about 30 minutes by train from Dublin. Do t miss the cliff walk. We took a boat tour to learn about the area and the wildlife. Howth pronounced Hoat like boat.
Rock formation with hundreds of nesting birds just off Howth. There are great seals and common seals. This is the type that hangs out by the docked fishing boats looking for free food. Several small fishing boats at anchor near the dock. Part of the cliff walk in Howth. Yellow flowers and purple heather cover the hill. Ropes protect the heather.

I appreciate the fact that Ireland seems to have done away with plastic utensils.

Highly recommend Geoff’s pub in Waterford. The salmon with tomato tapenade and potatoes is quite tasty.
Interior view of pub with wooden floors and an older look. Table and wall view: older wooden furniture and brick walls.

We visited the Wake Museum, Reginald’s Tower, and did a Viking history VR thing. The Viking history of Waterford is quite interesting.
Old Celtic cross made from metal hanging on a wall in the Wake Museum. Death mask in the Wake Museum. Stone walls and a window in Reginald’s Tower. Exterior wall of the VR Viking experience building featuring a large wooden Viking against a background of a burning town.
