I'm getting tired of performative patriotism like this. Dude's so eager to show off his 'Murica boner that he doesn't realize, given all of the road filth on that flag, he may as well just drag it through the mud.

Summer planning in full effect. I have a lot of catching up to do.

My photo of a door in St. Louis has 4.6 million views.

I would kill to have a fraction of that in book sales.

Forgot to send this guy to @rdickerson.bsky.social a couple weeks ago. Spotted at a shop in Galena, IL where Verizon's service is bullshit in a trash fire.

Our jodo training group yesterday in Indianapolis. My oldest and I went down to train with the Indy group and our instructor from Cincinnati, part of preparation for rank testing. A great day of swinging sticks and swords around!
