A Southern Black Racer snake, at least 5' long, slithering along the driveway.

Today's surprise visitor: a Southern Black Racer snake, at least 5' long, slithering along the driveway. A first in my years here. I hope those aren't my chipmunk friends in its belly. #AthensGA #Normaltown #Wildlife

Dolly Parton breaks her silence with an update on the health challenges behind a wave of rumors following multiple high-profile cancellations: “I let a lot of things go that I should have taken care of.”

As family historian, I can vouch for this. #truth

This!!! #BobRoss #auction #PBS

Hallelujah. Caught up with “The Lowdown” tonight & faith in quality TV is renewed. Sterlin Harjo [RezDogs] is back & has unleashed Ethan Hawke to where even his hair deserves its own Emmy. In fact, whole damn call sheet deserves Emmys. Set Dec, Casting, omg! And easter eggs galore! (Agent Cooper!)

Thank you Patricia Routledge for all the joy and laughter. Ours will be one of many candlelight suppers around the world tonight in your honor. Rest in glorious, happy peace. #HyacinthBucket #KeepingUpAppearances

The elevator photo! Gorgeous.

Thank you Ms Goodall, for all your sage teachings. May your reunions be sweet. #JaneGoodall #DavidGreybeard #RIP

Momentary goosebumps, thank you. From Deliverance was born the juggernaut Georgia Film Commission, thanks to Burt Reynolds and then-Governor Jimmy Carter, who green-lighted the North GA location production.

Am surprised Ms Kulwich didn't research and mention Alex Winter's stage cv. He performed first on Broadway as a child with Yul Brynner in 'The King and I'. He's no slouch.

Precedent: Luna Moth, backyard, March 2022

This 4" neon green caterpillar on the wall next to my front door greeted me when I returned home today. Does it dream of its future as a magnificent Luna Moth?

dammit. 😖

"cis white male from a republican family" is all the reasoning one needs to know, methinks.

Shoutout to Getty photographer Tom Hill, who snapped the awesome stage shot of Mark Volman in today's New York Times ( @nytimes.com ). I snapped this of him at the 1976 Capricorn Barbecue and Summer Games outside Macon GA in the Wayback. Happier days for all.

Mark Volman, Singer of ‘Happy Together’ and Other Hits, Dies at 78

Happy to see The New York Times give beloved Mark Volman his due, especially with old friend ATL photographer Tom Hill's dynamic shot of him. Such memories.

Thanks for all the great music, and R.I.P., Mark. #Turtles #FloandEddie

Graham Greene Dies: Oscar-Nominated ‘Dances With Wolves’ Actor Was 73 Graham Greene, a trailblazing Canadian First Nations actor & 'Dances With Wolves' star who opened doors for Indigenous actors, died September 1, 2025.

So sad to learn we’ve just lost legendary actor Graham Greene. His recent role as Maximus Fixico in Reservation Dogs was perhaps my favorite. He could do anything, and infuse it with both dignity and humor. Rest well.

This makes for a nice hometown screengrab.
