Garden pics and road trips and, apparently some political grumping. If you don't know me, it's very doubtful I'll follow you back.
Fingers crossed for all my mainland neighbors facing floods.

Last night in Santa Fe. Never enough time for all the details but we got most of the needed stuff done. Place is looking great (now...lol)

Vacuumed the hyena...

Good to have something watching over you. Early night for a long Monday tomorrow

Strong progress being made. Super glad to have found a great place only 3 blocks from dad's house (my wife is powerfully good at this stuff.)

The terra cotta maze of Santa Fe is lovely as always.

Well, dad was in a car crash (concussion + broken rib) so im back to Santa Fe to help with the transition back home from inpatient rehab. Long day of travel, but a great little hotel and 2 margaritas have me ready to get to work.

Here's to the next phase, caring for kids and parents.... woot.

Enjoying the elections. Seems my old school has been putting out some solid political folks of late.

Time to take down the Halloween stuff.

Better start checking the Xmas lights....

Glad my pal @waugh.bsky.social has something extra to cheer. Just about over my own team's loss.

Boy came over to carve pumpkins. Loving the horror of the Check Engine light....

Happy Halloween folks!

When SNAP cuts off, every single grassroots democratic organization should start up or loudly and visibly support a food bank. Simple message, Ds feed vs. Rs greed.

Got the vax/flu double header. Down for a day, but back on my feet and feeling the fall spirit. #PhotoCommunity

Just watched this. Fantastic visuals (which is good as there's no dialogue). Think I'm gonna watch it once more before opining about the themes and such.
Anybody else seen it?

Birthday brunch aftermath. Thankful for the fullness of life.

Boy headed back to Japan for the 3rd time today. Tokyo this time. I'm so joyful to see him out in the world. Shame the weather report looks like everything's gonna be a thousand degrees of hot and humid.
I told him I'd pay him back if he gets an anime haircut.....

Got bored and spent the evening pestering some Maga troll. Waste of time, but kinda nostalgic....

Green thumb update. Harvest days continue. Starting to think about fall plantings.

So what's next, medal of freedom for rittenhouse?
August 28, 2025 at 6:22 PM
Allright, that's a wrap. Last day tomorrow, then I'm off to work at the local pharmacy/everything store. Excited for the change and challange. Probably a better choice for midlife crap than a sports car I couldn't drive.
Cheers!

Only took 30 some years, but I think I found a song that I'd be willing to put an old band back together for. Maybe one of these reunions.

Sorry bout clipping the ends. And all I could find was CD, so here's me holding my phone to the speaker.

Cheers!
