Good move, and congratulations.

Dazzling. No other word, really.

One of the best of the Elmore Leonard adaptations in my experience. It's also one of Leonard's best books where the adjective "gritty" is concerned.

Whoa. This is some hard-hitting, consequential legislation right here. I'll bet Representative Jeffries summoned every last ounce of his moral courage to cast this vote.

Now that I've read this, I think it's time for a shower.

Yeesh to all of this and her.

New shop in my little corner of #Wales has offered to stock my books!πŸ˜€That's a first!
Many of you will know the struggle us indies face here in the UK when it comes to store presence, so I'm grateful.

The tragedy here is that most people won't understand the implications of this, which are disastrous. And if there is a nursing shortage now....

Poutine is a big thing in pub food these days. Didn't you guys generously bequeath that, too, to a grateful world?

Wow. A perfect--and edifying--riposte. You don't see a lot of that these days. Thanks.

Love this album, and I've been listening to it for almost 50 years.

Then it's time to send her back to a maximum security prison where dangerous people like her belong.

I hasten to point out that this woman is a criminal.

She took Churu from my hand almost from day one of meeting her:

Hey CM--here's a picture of me with Edith. She was part of that feral colony across the street until someone beat me to it for taking her in.

Hahahahaha! Think so? I should probably take in a foster. To tell you the truth, I almost brought in the little grey kitty across the street who would eat from my hand. I have a litter box ready to go. But then I heard one of my neighbors took her, so I was relieved. I can't afford a cat right now.

21.11.2025 00:59 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Good! I don't have a foster at the moment, but I am feeding some of the feral cats on the street behind this building. One of them was picked up and adopted, so I was happy about that.

Oh, I'm so sorry CM. That is hard.

Likewise. Any sigh of Hendrik, CM?

Wow. I've had this same thought several times, but it crosses my mind as "I don't remember agreeing to live in a Philip K. Dick novel. Nor a Mad Max movie, as long as we're here.

Thanks. I've been thinking about giving it a try.

Hello esteemed Bluesky users. If you follow me in order to steer me towards pictures of you in various states of undress, I will block your account. I am not interested, so don't bother. I am also uninterested in pictures of you at the gym.

A friend of mine used to say that populism is the cynical manipulating the stupid.

Thandiwa (Remastered 2009 / Rudy Van Gelder Edition)
YouTube video by Grachan Moncur III - Topic Thandiwa (Remastered 2009 / Rudy Van Gelder Edition)

Tune of the day…Grachan Moncur III - Thandiwa. This tune in 3 has a Monk like quirkiness about it. It’s a simple chord progression & clear 16 bar form, yet you have Wayne, Grachan, Herbie, Cecil, and Tony really exploring all the possibilities this tune provides them. #jazzsky youtu.be/XyVZOzalAAc
