I see pedestrians casually walking or jogging up marked cycle paths regularly.
Oblivious.

I didn't mean that the public necessarily thought it was unaffordable, but that seems like the excuse by those opposed.
Funny, over dinner tonight I made a reference to Richard II (Ben Wishaw), my sister then went on to "Now is the winter of our discontent..."

I have had a sore shoulder/upper arm for months. Got doctor's appt., x-rays and ultrasound, all free. Didn't show anything. But it ruled out things. I'm not saying this to brag about Canadian healthcare, but our taxes are very similar. It could be doable.

I knew someone who was from a fairly privileged background who joined partly because she wanted the discipline and also for chef training (seriously). This is in Canada. She was quite successful after.

This painting was bought at an auction.

It now hangs in my kitchen.

The picture doesn't capture the colours well, but you get the idea.

Paul Conroy’s Last Photo Essay: Cuba’s Moment of Reckoning Veteran war photographer and correspondent Paul Conroy died of natural causes a short time after returning from Cuba with this report of another city under siege. He never stopped bearing witness

The eminent Paul Conroy passed away on the 28th of February, this is his last article.

It isn't just that the administration is so blatantly and gleefully corrupt. It's that literally tens of millions of people approve. Ugh.

Vaginas ruin everything.
I'm paraphrasing from A Simple Favor. We need more humour to cope with awful people.

Looking again and seeing the bottles together, matching teacups, ... impressive.

Good morning all. Peaceful breakfast and summer, aren't we all dreaming and hoping?

What a stunning painting. I kept enlarging the image to see more, like the woman with the tray, partially obscured by leaves, the shadows and reflections. Beautiful.

A big factor is there is so much money to be made from war.
Basically the motivation for everything this administration does is more wealth for select people.

Embedded in my brain is a clip during the election. An old man saying he couldn't vote for a woman because of what happened in the garden of Eden.
Profound stupidity.

Even if the men are not misogynistic, just the lack of women in leadership is just illogical. Imagine the shift in priorities if Michele Obama was President. Wow! Not just that but the global tension, and casual conversations by everyone. What could be, what should be.

We've had a few PMs who have called elections early and it backfired. A bit arrogant on their part, to me.

I would definitely try all three, but 1 and 2 seem the most appealing to me. All are certainly photogenic!

I was going to comment and saw 'post not found' or something. What? Lol
The brother of my daughter's boyfriend was flying to India. They were forced to land in Malta because if this. An inconvenience, but imagine the disruption of life for literally millions of people.
Orchestrated chaos.

On a whim, I checked if that is available where I am. It is and every review is 5 out of 5!

I checked the forecast and temps are going to double next week! Fuck yeah!!

Just thinking, I bet Trump has never farted on an empty stomach.

He looks exhausted.
Hardest working man in America!! Right there!

So does Mark Carney have a bunker in case Trump wants a regime change in Canada?

They never should have claimed it, it was always a lie.

And after we went to a new speakeasy. No signs outside, just pass through an empty diner, and in back is a small Irish bar called The Off Licence Pub.

One of the old guys sang .... Fat Bottomed Girls, lol. At the end he said, "I bet you didn't know Freddie was Irish."
He later sang Hallelujah, amused, which always makes me smile because people sing it solemnly like it was religious. That's funny!!!

I went to an Irish Ceili last night. A first for me. Different instruments, like concertina and shruti.

My wife recently had a colonoscopy, and she was definitely empty.
She would not be discharged until a really good blast was heard. Farting for freedom.

I also block anyone who dissents on this issue. The reason is that their arguments are absolutely illogical and basically saying that having Trump is preferable.
If someone is that dumb, why waste my time?
