Life in Dad Land - tales of dementia from the inside

Dad is in his 80s, has a non-Alzheimer's dementia, and is otherwise healthy. He's been living with me since early 2020.

Various tales include whatever his current obsession is, such as A Door Into Summer, No Spiders!, and Why Can't I?
Interesting read. Just one bank. Lots of questions.
He did name names. You're too lazy to read the article which links to the report, with names.

The Virgin Islands court docs do a great job explaining the heinous actions of Epstein and his conspirators. Repeatedly mention that many victims were 12-17 years old www.vicourts.org/common/pages...

True
Very true. It's laughably pathetic that the American immoral Christian establishment is afraid of Sharia law while ALSO stripping rights from women and targeting minorities due to "purity" doctrines. They ARE Sharia law, just with a fucking cross.

True.
Which is why Biden did not release, a legitimate investigation was going on. That Trump had Bondi and Patel kill the moment he was back in power, so he could redact them and claim Biden did nothing at all...

Today I'm scanning the finished line art into my computer to create digital files. When scanned at high resolution, analog art reveals truly remarkable surface textures. Amazing!

He's a Republican. Voted for 47, most likely, at least once.

And is not a citizen.

The rare & beautiful violet sea snail - a predator of Portuguese Man O’War & by-the-wind sailors. It lives its whole life at the surface of the open ocean, using a bubble raft to stay afloat. It’s normally more common in warmer waters but occasionally seen here
