Just a few of the pictures I took.

I did what I've always wanted to do, and participated in what I truly feel is important.

However, I have this feeling when dealing with someone who only cares about himself and not what others think and do, are we just pissing in the wind?

Actively finishing up preparations for the Southern California chapter of the TAA. Tomorrow, July 12 at Stereo Brewing in Placentia, CA. Great beer, authentic pupusas, live music, and support for a great organization.

Stop by and say "hi". I'll be the one in the teal shirt.

Franklin. Our 20 year old, 110 pound, African Sulcata tortoise, doing his morning routine. He was the size of an egg when he came to us.

He's personable, friendly, loves being rubbed and spending his day grazing and soaking up the sun.

Watching him reduces my anxiety.

This is a nice ad for an AI company. It makes me really want to do business with them. SMH.

How can someone who was just let out of his nursing home room for a walk down the hall, wreak so much havoc on the world, and still be a hero to the sycophantic?

Opening Day. So many possibilities. Mom and I are so ready!

I'm going fishing this weekend. Hope I can remember what fishin' hole I saw them at.

It's a bit early, as the Vernal Equinox isn't until March 20, but here's a momma Anna's hummingbird keeping her eggs warm after two days of rain.
