@hellofromtodd.bsky.social Welcome buddy. I'm lost, too. Shine your flashlight this way & we'll get through the night

@foxdennis.bsky.social Hi Dennis. Good to see you here.

The Coup became law of the land yesterday. The next four years will be test # 2 for our infant united states. #1 was the Confederacy declaring themselves a separate country.

Buckle your seatbelts.

So...I bought a pound of cherries today and swept the courtyard. I wrote a line of dialogue, too. It's for the lead actress. She says "Good morning, killer."
But get this!!! This is so great. She's LOOKING IN A MIRROR.
Get it?

Just got here. Anyone sitting over there?
