Retired Prof/Provost at HBCU, crazy dog person, enjoy canoeing and hiking. Warning: I like to quip so I post a lot. Stay peaceful, stay safe, and stay on the streets.

Won't reply to DMs unless I know you.💙💛
Off to my No Kings event. Stay safe out there.

Seen in Washington today.

You, too. And I think I spotted your candidate. Not a huge fan of N, but I will support whoever the D is who manages to catch some kind of lightning and if there's some rat poison and we've managed to get through this absolute crisis, we'll have a chance to administer the antidote.

So awesome that they are paying for "seat fillers". DC Craigslist under Gigs. $1000 in crypto to fill out Trump's TV shots and sell out your country.

This is for real. I looked it up.

Stay as far from DC as possible Saturday in case he decides to nuke the rain that is going to ruin his parade.

Follow some people who post about other things. I see posts about everything--mushrooms, dogs, cats, more cats, gaming, more cats, gardening, more cats, and even cats.

Here's a nice kitty.

You're right. I definitely need to take a break.

Iowa is famous for its banana sculptures at the state fair. For some reason, they carve them into cows.

Enjoying my kibble.

I am also a rescue. My issues are walks that are too late and too short, treats that are also late and not nearly enough, and birds. Birds need to stay out of my yard.

Me with my uncle at my ranger station. Lake Superior is just across HW 61 and a view of the lake from Isle Royale.

This is Misty. We had Misty for about 3 years & lost her around 2012. I got her at a PetSmart rescue day after her owner had died & she was found alone in the house. She was around 10 then. Fun Misty fact, she could bite nearly all the way through a human thumb. She was still a good little dog.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Ely, too.

I reluctantly said okay to going on the water in a canoe. I did not say okay to standing in the rain.

Terrier Ella having a water adventure with her beagle-mix friend circa 2015. We lost Ella in 2020. She had a good, long life.
