I likely don't have much in common with the great writers of the past other than cynicism, but sitting in my favorite bar in Bangkok, listening to jazz and drinking absinthe helps me feel a little closer.

It's good to wander back to my favorite place in Bangkok to savor a taste of the sweet amidst the bitter that is life - absinthe.

I was too crunched for time to participate in #DragonTuesday, because I'm busy following dragon lines.

Gearing up for the [unfunded] life of guts and danger. Essential activities overseas must continue, even without funds.
At least I have something great to read on the plane.

#DragonTuesday is starting early for me, so I'd best get this into the mix before life intrudes.

A cozy fire in the stove, a Cherie Priest novel to conclude, and a nice sipping whiskey to enjoy. A nice, quiet night before a likely hectic week.

As a big, bald, ugly, mediocre white man afflicted with a terminal case of RBF, I don't get approached much.
At #NoKings, quite a few girls in princess outfits were overjoyed to take pictures with a black unicorn. It was a nice change from my usual.

For a rainy day in Olympia Washington, there sure were a lot of people that had strong opinions about TFG. Fed up, certainly, but joyful - there were a lot more laughs than sighs from the crowd.

Found a few moments of sun in the Grey-t Northwest, and caught a glimpse of two unexpected neighbors. This is the first time I've seen a bald eagle anywhere other than a screen.

This one has been my go-to over the summer. I'm a terrible artist, so making a new sign is something of a struggle for me. 😆

It was nice to have a day during this government shutdown when I was not working. It gave me time to research the issues and candidates so that I could complete my ballot for the November election.

We'll have some #Leguminati at the other end of the coast as well! #NoKings rallies are planned across the state, from Centralia to Seattle to Spokane.

Ran into a person trying to get an anti-trans initiative onto the ballot here in Washington. We wound up disagreeing.
It's interesting how an ugly, bald, mediocre white man wearing a t-shirt reading "Be Kind, even on your bad days" can discourage people from signing a discriminatory petition.
