Happy pride
The pictures shows my view of a giant pride flag while helping to carry it during the parade at Atlanta Pride. There are other people carrying it and spectators lined along the sidewalk.

Good morning Knoxville
The view of the Tennessee river from the back deck of a houseboat. The water is a little murky. The sky is cloudy. But it’s a beautiful morning.

An estimated 30,000 people marched to the Georgia capitol today.
My wife and I standing just outside liberty park in Atlanta. She’s holding a sign that reads “Education Not Deportation” and I’m wearing a T-Shirt that gives instructions for what to say to the police if you are arrested, which is nothing. There are several people holding political signs in the background.

My iPhone’s AI does a pretty bad job transcribing my Appalachian grandmother.
A screenshot of a missed call notification and a voicemail notification from my Nan. According to apple Nan’s voicemail says “Just wanted to say lesbians very much in my pet pee too.” What she actually said is “Just wanted to say love yuns very much and my puppies too.”

Anyone else ever woken up in the middle of the night because your dog is whining only to find that your dog is sound asleep and the whining was in your dream?

Here’s a picture of the puppy with inception powers.
My dog Mumford laying on a bed. He’s looking into the camera a little bit sideways. He’s very cute.

Shit.
A screenshot of TikTok. There is a pop up that’s says “Sorry, TikTok isn’t available right now. A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can’t use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned.” The app doesn’t work.

After three thanksgiving dinners between Friday and Tuesday, I couldn’t be more thankful for Indian food today. #Thanksgiving #Atlanta
A picture of my wife Amy and our feast of Indian food. There are four styrofoam plates with Chana Bahji, Chicken Korma, Mixed Naan, and Cheese Naan on a brown table in a restaurant.

This dude has been part of our family for four years today. Happy gotcha day to Mumford Fluffybutt.
Mumford, the day we got him. He’s a tri colored Pembroke Welsh corgi, and he looks pretty little here. Mumford inside a backpack on my back. Mumford walking on a bed toward the camera. His ears are sticking out pretty far. They look huge in this picture. He’s adorable. Mumford, laying on his back with all four legs in the air, looking directly at the camera.

I really need to explore the west more.
That cool map that’s going around from GitHub. It shows the states I’ve lived in, been to, stayed in, passed through, etc. Most of the east coast is filled in, the Midwest is largely empty. One west coast state is marked.

Reskeet with a picture of you in red 🎅🏼
Me walking my dogs, Mumford and Penny. Mumford is a corgi and is wearing a green sweater. Penny is a hound dog, mostly beagle, and is wearing a red sweater. I am wearing red Santa shorts, a wall-e Christmas sweater and a red Santa hat. Merry Christmas.

One of the coolest things about living in downtown Atlanta is scoring last minute deals on Atlanta United tickets.
Mercedes Benz Stadium. The inside of the stadium, prior to kickoff. The seats are good. They were also cheap!

Reskeet with a childhood photo of you that matches your current personality. This is still what I look like eating Oreos.
A picture of me as a baby. I’m sitting in a wooden high a bare wearing a red shirt and a bib with tweety bird and Sylvester on it. My face is covered with chocolate. It’s up to my eye on one side of my face. According to my mom, this is a picture of the first time I ate an oreo.

I rearranged a bit and Mumford seems content with his new place in the living room.
Mumford, a tri colored corgi, is laying on grey blanket on top of a green sofa (the studio day sofa from World Market). One of his back legs is stretched out behind him. Mumford, a tri colored corgi, is laying on the same green sofa from the last picture, but he’s turned the other way and is using the arm of the sofa like a pillow. He’s also very cute.

Here are a couple of pictures of Stella from previous visits to the aquarium.
Stella the octopus climbing on the glass in her tank enclosure. Fun fact, all of the suckers on her arms have their own taste buds. So she knows what that window tastes like. Stella the octopus midway through changing colors. Her natural state is a dark red color, but she turns white when she’s calm. She can likely do other colors, but I’ve only seen her change to shades of white and red. There are also fish and starfish visible in this picture.

I spent some time at the beach late at night last week. The ocean felt endless, and the night sky, even more so. It was peaceful in away I can’t fully explain. This picture doesn’t do it justice at all.
A long exposure picture of the coast at night. You can see light from houses on the right and much smaller light from an island in the distance. There are bright stars in the cloudy sky.

Here’s an example of a bar exam question from the February 2021 MEE that asks about both.
A bar exam Civ Pro question that is too long for alt text. The full question can be found here: https://www.nybarexam.org/examquestions/FEB2021QA.pdf
