Adventure Awaits!
After my afternoon paddle, spent a half-hour picking up trash and recycling at the wildlife launch. I don’t understand why people will trash a place they obviously enjoy visiting. #litter

Backwards and forwards, backwards and forwards. I find the lane lines in the pool help me hone my ability to move backwards and forwards in a straight line. #kayak

Wouldn’t it be great if Larry couldn’t find a single damn plastic bottle in 2025?
A decade ago I made a commitment to clean at least 1,000 plastic bottles every year from streams, rivers and estuaries. For 2024 I met that goal with 2,013 plastic bottles. Join me next year with your own commitment and spend some productive time outside. #paddling #kayaking #litter

In the doctor’s waiting room… they have both the TV volume on and the piped in music going. Currently Huey Lewis is scoring a cheesy Hallmark movie.

65° and sunny on December 30! That ain’t right.

Warm fire, Cool cat.

Relax.

Now all I have to do is give the cat a bottle of Windex and a clean rag… #cats

Them: “Where do you wanna go for lunch?”
Me: “How about a picnic in the middle of nowhere?”

When I lost my job, I lost my computer, a necessary tool for applying for benefits and finding insurance. The advice everyone gave me: “you can use computers at the public library”
Libraries are about more than books.

Empty blather posing as crosstalk is a large part of what’s wrong with TV news. Kids walk around with supercomputers in their pockets. They no longer need ‘gatekeepers’. We should ditch the empty stagecraft. Else, TV News will go the way of AM radio.

Unless we change, we’re writing our own eulogy.
