Just received these beautiful geodes of agate and malachite from @JoyousMinerals. The husks have deep red and oranges that are spectacular. If you are in the market for some beautiful rocks, check out Joyous Minerals, an NC Triangle-based business, on Etsy.

Alpacas. So many alpacas. Upon our last trip to Smith Mountain Lake, we visited Pacabella alpaca farm, and it was glorious.

It’s been 1077 days since we had a measurable snowfall in Raleigh, so I cobbled together a Spotify playlist in anticipation: open.spotify.com/playlist/6Or...

It’s a lot of acoustic instruments and lamenting about the warmth of summer. So, pour yourself a hot cocoa and Bailey’s and enjoy Wintersong

Watched a documentary on political strategist James Carville, and he had a great quote: Republicans are great at creating distractions, and democrats are easily distracted.

American Service-Members' Protection Act, brought to the floor of the senate in 2002 by old nemesis Jesse Helms. It gives the president power to use "all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by...the ICC"

As a kid I watched more than my fair share of tv. I thought ring-around-the-collar and nicotine-stained fingers were going to be a bigger problem in my life. Turns out as you get older, Calgon doesn't solve anything, and your brain becomes a knotted Slinky

‘Conservative leftists’ want to upset the political spectrum | Semafor Around the world, candidates are blending leftist economics with conservative social policy into an anti-establishment electoral cocktail.

It's almost like political identities don't fit into neat little bundles or political parties any more. Shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED!

Boomers: This is the way it's always been done.
Gen X: Welp, I guess this is what we do now.
Millennials: Wait, why are we doing this?
Gen Z: WTF! Why are we still doing this?!
