Not familiar with that place. I once got quite a haul visiting Océano.

Where?

I will never forget what it was like working as an ICU physician during the pandemic. There were many days that I went back to my hotel crying because of the patients we lost.

I hate this so much.

Time does not move backwards.

It's been quite a few years since I visited. At that time, the Museum of the Eastern Sierra in Independence, up the road, had a great exhibit with artifacts a recreation of the Manzanar barracks.

If I were a Spanish language teacher, I would offer an extra-credit assignment for students watching the half-time show. A short essay: 1. How much of the Spanish did they understand? 2. What did they learn about Puerto Rican culture? 3. Would the student want to visit the country one day?

On my list to ask about.

A little trick I learned with painting with acrylics is to use water color pencils when sketching on the canvas so it won't leave any smudges and will dissolve into the paint when you paint over it. Would have made my life easier to have learned this earlier haha xD

📌JUST A REMINDER: The Biden administration had a sweeping, bipartisan immigration bill that had the backing of Mike Johnson. It was set to go to a vote until Trump ordered Johnson to renege, so he could stoke immigration fear on the campaign trail. "They're eating our dogs and cats."

Fuck the GOP.

In a world of monsters, be a Pretti.

Even when you're busy on a Monday - or any day - be sure to take time and smell the flowers. If they smell good, take a nibble too!

The word of the day is "bull pucky"

Enjoy.

I love those dad jokes.
