I was born about 5 years after the end of WWII. I had babysitters whose family sent them out of Germany, then their entire family was murdered by fascists. Now we have fascists running our country. Blueskyers are a great team to join.

These markings are on a silver pitcher and bowl my mother received as a wedding gift. Does anyone know what they mean?

We are dealing with strong currents that threaten to pull our democracy under, but we have strong democratic roots. They can't pull us off our rock!

This cartoon appeared in the original Dennis the Menace book by Hank Ketcham (1952). Mom bought it for Dad soon after I was born. I had my Dennis moments, as many boys do. I could say the same thing he does in the cartoon.

These footprints confused me. They can't be convex, can they? Turns out the shadows caused by a low sun angle created optical illusions. Fooled my eyes as well as my camera. Or perhaps there are beach walkers in an adjoining dimension.

This predatory attack was occurring on one of my porch columns this morning. It's a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration's attack on America under the direction of their billionaire paymasters and others in the shadows government.
