In anticipation of moving, Mom bought a house.

Check out the master bathroom shower.

Jean Valjean enjoyed it for years. Edmond Dantes learned a lot from it. It's a great place to store amontillado. Goes well with the rest of the pyramid.

Something else I saw today while out driving:

A wind turbine blade being transported.

A tiny sign of our country's sluggish crawl toward having more renewable energy. It's a positive, when positives are thin on the ground.

Oklahoma Confirmed For Not Flat.

These shots cost me a nine-hour round trip containing eight hours of driving. Well spent, I say.

Afterward: vistas.

The Talimena National Scenic Byway had several places to stop and look at trees.

The mountains are the Ouachitas. They were much taller back in the Paleozoic, but then 300,000,000 years of erosion happened.

You may know that the Choctaw once donated relief money to the Irish during the latter's British capitalism-driven agricultural famine.

Ireland commemorated it with a sculpture of feathers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kindred...

Just last year, the Choctaw replied to it with this one, "Eternal Heart."

Back from drivin'.

The old Choctaw Nation capitol in southeast Oklahoma was the first stop on the way. That red-roofed building there is the museum, which was their capitol building until Oklahoma statehood overwrote it.

They had bison!

"That package is conditional [...] if the company meets certain criteria within the next decade.

Among other targets, he would have to raise the company's market capitalization, the value of all its stock put together, from about $1.5 trillion today to above $8.5 trillion."

Good morning, Bluesky.

We now live in a world with one less monster. One less historically significant font of corruption and suffering and social ruination.

If death is the only consequence that will ever reach such men as Dick Cheney, then I will celebrate death when it reaches them.
