A Michael Vick jersey? Hell, I won't even wear anything Nike because they hired him as a spokesman back on the day.

My new dishwasher has lights on the "inside"! I find this both cool and terrifying at the same time. 😳

The Dems really have no choice but to break quorum as during the regular session they lost vote after vote after vote because the Republicans have the numbers. Nobody votes for their constituents anymore. Life in a Red State. 😐

Hi cuz. Yes, I think the Dems will be able to hold out until the 19th. It's not like that really matters because our stupid Republican Governor will just call another session immediately thereafter. Then they have another 30 days to try to kill.

One quick picture from 25 years ago today. Happy "Silver" Anniversary to my angel, friend, and soul mate. "I thee endow" and would do so all over again!

Photo of Mom and Dad, both now gone for some years. There is a glass of scotch and water in front of the photo, as that was dad's favorite drink and today is his heavenly birthday.

Happy heavenly birthday to my dad. This is the one day a year that I actually drink Scotch as scotch and water was dad's favorite drink. So here is a photo of mom and dad from a long time ago, with a glass of scotch & water in front of it which I will do my best to drink without making a funny face.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
