Tongue. I actually won the “you’re not leaving the table until you finish your plate” threat after sitting there for a few hours…

Daily goals.

Me to me: "Cook the damn asparagus you bought four days ago"!

Asparagus to me: "Oh, spear me the outrage"!

Easily mine too. By a wide margin.

Don't even know the topic of the quiz, but this is such a great song!

National Be Nice Day Commit to walking in the light of positivity all day long.

“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.” KVJr nationaltoday.com/national-be-....

One of the few times ever that I thought the movie was much better than the book. I read it decades ago but remember being disappointed.

Pretty cool!

Today is World Animal Day. This year's theme is "Save Animals, Save the Planet"! Shouldn't that be the theme every year? Every day? www.worldanimalday.org.uk/world-animal...

I guess it'll give me time to work on my sign for the 18th...

Never understood the appeal.

Group photo of North Charleston Early Voting team at Charleston County Board of Voter Registration and Election headquarters in North Charleston, SC. 19 election workers in 3 rows in front of windows on a gray carpet.

I had to opt out of my early voting gig that I've been doing since 2018 right after retiring from the state. The cumulative effects of chemo did me in. I'm going to miss the North Charleston team and everyone at CCBVRE.

Team photo from 2023 - I'm on the lower right. On to next year's midterms.

The plus side though, is it's the gateway to Smoky Mountain National Park, one of the most beautiful places in the East.

Happy birthday!!

No problem. Where ever it was, it was one mores senseless tragedy, and they won't stop until we get people in office willing to address the out of control gun issue.

Climate change reporting in the is certainly suppressed by well-funded propaganda from the wealthy, global industry that created the problem. However, there's also been an inadvertent systemic shift in US MSM reporting over the past 50 years toward general isolationism.

Fence along a street in Asheville, NC with various colorful posters on it. "you are all loved", "All you need is love", "Peace for Ukraine" and an unreadable poster in the background along side a green dumpster with graffiti on it.

Black and white mural of Robert Flack covering the whole side of the building of Black Mountain Brewing Company in Black Mountain, NC. It shows her staring into the parking lot with her fingers interlaced. On one side is the word "Robert" written vertically from top to bottom and on the other side the words "Roberta Flack Black Mountain Born 1937".

View from the Wayah Bald Lookout Tower near Franklin, NC showing endless mountains in various shades of green under a cloudy blue sky. Part of the tower can be seen in the foreground.

View from the Appalachian Trail near Carvers Gap in Roan Mountain State Park. The trail starts a decent with a view of mountains in the distance under gray clouds, the green in the mountains fading into the distance

Just found out today is National North Carolina Day. A few shots from our upstairs neighbor and my favorite place to be. Signs along fence on a street in Asheville, Mural of Roberta Flack in Black Mountain, view from Wayah Bald fire tower in Franklin, and Appalachian Trail near Carvers Gap NC/TN.

Happy birthday!

This is my favorite part of the world. My wife and I traveled to the High Country every year for over 30 years.
