Don't mind me, I'll be over here, talking to myself. And playing with yarn 🧶.
I tend to wear my heart on my sleeve and speak my mind. If I come off too strong, that's on you. I'm a fu¢kπ' delight 😁

The iconic former zoo on Belle Isle in Detroit is finally being demo'd after being closed for over 20 years. 6 years ago, Hubs and I took the canoe along a canal which passed under the walkways.
My memories of attending this place when it was the Children's Zoo (pre-Safariland) are very vague.

Occasionally I will get a notice that someone blocked me. What amuses me about this is that I never interacted with these folks. I barely get interactions with the stuff I do post.
Their loss. I probably would have blocked them myself 🤷😁

Just watched a new-to-me Ray Harryhausen movie "Valley of Gwangi" on Svengoolie. Though corny, the stop motion techniques can still blow today's modern technology out of the water. I'd like to see a studio try this technique today.

We've been listening to random you tube outside today. We came inside from the campfire and this gem came on. Hubby joked about if this played while we were outside 😉
It reminds me of my clubbing days and another gem from back in the day (linked next)

Detroit has it's first female mayor! I believe she declared Detroit would be a sanctuary city, unlike her predecessor.
My town will be getting a new mayor as well. Hopefully it's not the one who doesn't live there.

The organist at Dodger Stadium has got game. I've been digging the songs to match the mood. It's almost as if Paul Schaefer and the World's most Dangerous Band are in charge.

The Hulk doll was garbage-picked several years ago and taking up residence in the garage. We finally had a good use for it. Seemed fitting for all of our Magat neighbors. How do you like your president now?

What we could have had versus what we have now. Since the '90's, teachers have been working with kids on anti-bullying campaigns. I cannot imagine what they think about all their hard work being undone these days. The mental health crisis is more prominent than we realize.

Now if the fans would stop chanting that insipid Seven Nation Army song, that would be great. This goes for all sports games 🙄
