I posted this nine years ago on another platform. It was tongue in cheek then, but now it feels like it’s the thing left that hasn’t been tried.

yes please

Remember when "Dystopian" was a description of fiction?

........or not.

I suppose it is okay to want you..............

No, but as I was taking this photo the guy who made it stopped and told me he'd been run off into the ditch and that was his motivation.

#detour A local road closure has us all using a winding, bumpy gravel road that's not used so much. Those who live there have lost patience with the drivers in a hurry who take the turns as if they're in a cross country race & practicing their drift skills.

Camouflage. If it weren't for the replacement board this old barn with peeling green paint would do a better job of hiding from me.

There is a great joke where the punchline is "He's up on the roof and we can't get him down".

had written the post too lengthy and so the clipped version lost my thread about how your shared artist and record posts were great memory cues..........that's it.............thx for sharing.

12 Chelli of the Berlin Philharmonic aired Burt Bacharat's "South American Getaway" from his score for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". Pretty 'best' but then it reminded me of the two hot leads in that film from so long ago. Redford and Newman, so it got even 'bester'.

Your references to loved music also happens to me with classical & film scores. Today a piece took me back to images of 2 very hot men of my youth. South American Getaway · Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker. Burt Bacharach's score for Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.

Borrowed and shared because it amused me this evening. That's all.........

Patroclus again............

Dvořák serenade for strings. Seems that he created a theme so beautiful that he just kept on with more stanzas 'cause he couldn’t bear to let go. Sympathize; I’ve fabricated people into my own narrative & found I simply couldn't let go. Fully certain that Antonín made a better job of it than I did.

Especially in the Military then. "Penetration, however slight is enough to complete the offense."

The 'upgrades' on windows & doors & trim often give me a smile.

This is heartbreaking, I am in tears 💔🥺

A younger brother came to visit his older brother who died defending 🇺🇦. He gave his life so that others could live.

This is the reality of 🇷🇺’s war.

Eternal memory to all who gave their lives for 🇺🇦. Eternal strength to those who continue the fight 💙✊

A member of the Admiral's band & I had crushes on one another but were afraid to do anything. He was coming back to the ship with buddies drunk & saw me & caressed my cheek saying, "You......you......you." Bandmates pulled him back as my heart melted. He refused to go drinking ashore again. Afraid

My brother visited recently and we both remarked that tears come so easily at our age; however, this would make anyone weep. Anyone..........

I remember the start of the invasion and a very old Бабуся passing out sunflower seeds to Russian soldiers so they'd grow from their graves.

Trip to Rome in the Navy. Determined to enjoy 2 day visit & not cram everything. So morning bus tour & "oh, look, colosseum & there's victor Emmanuel monument! Did spend lunch time in Piazza Navona & met up with RISD student who wanted to hook up & that was a failure. Celibate entire 3 months. Rue

Oh, and it is a Facebook post from "We have always been here" so you might check out their page.

Sorry, did not source nor get a date. But I do get the impression they are dating. grin.

@doublej66.rwrb.social So a confluence of 2 posts today on other site. Firstl: "He sat at the shelter door every day, tail wagging at anyone who walked by. No one picked him. Until we did. And he hasn’t stopped smiling since." And then the photo right underneath it made me smile too! Can I keep him?

2 views south on the Clearwater River this fine Sunday morning.

Because this gives us an occasional reminder that all is not as it seems..................

From, "We have always been here"

Get that. You can imagine my respect for them when they produced many brilliant love scenes including (in my opinion) the most beautiful gay love moments ever in the Paris hotel room. I was totally blown away and when Henry's breath escapes as Alex makes love to him, I could barely breath myself.
