I worked half-time in the EU for years. Those memories/ photos my soothe my soul. All pictures mine unless noted/ reposted. I respect human dignity & diversity. Seek to appreciate beauty amid chaos. @mhstory on Substack. Slava Ukraini

There is nothing like Fasching parades for political commentary and fun all thrown together. I had friends who lived on the route in Wiesbaden. It was fantastic.

Something my husband and I agree onโ€ฆ always a plus. We moved in this house and the Ring doorbell was gone within a week. My neighbors have them though.

It is almost time for the #gemandmineral show in #Tucson again. My husband is going. Iโ€™m staying home this year. It was way amazing seeing things like this, but my focus is elsewhere this year.

We visited some of the Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show while in #Tucson. It was a sight to behold, with some stones weighing thousands of kilograms on display. There were entire dinosaurs. And of course gemstones cut for jewelry and rough for lapidary. Amazing! I loved this one. #gemstones #minerals

The USA as a nation has malignant narcissistic behavior. It has been there for a long time AEB by Americans being affronted by a store in a FOREIGN COUNTRY having the temerity to not have English speaking staff. I witnessed this. Iโ€™ve sought to be a counter. Apparently we will learn the hard way.

Pitch Black

Driving home tonight, I could see just the barest hint of a red glow against the night sky. Intrigued I decided to stop at a nearby pond and set up the camera to see what it really looked like...

I donโ€™t know what planet Stephen Miller lives on. From my perspective, Greenland is to WWIII what Poland was to WWII.

#Greetings! I asked Siri for traditional Christmas music, thinking Iโ€™d get something like Little Drummer Boy, Silent Night, White Christmas, that sort. I got Wham, #LastChristmas right off the bat ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Iโ€™m scared to ask for contemporaryโ€ฆ I hope all enjoy whichever version of this #season is for you.

Sometimes Samuel likes to sit on the kitchen window ledge and look in, observing us as if we were strangers. He doesnโ€™t want to come in. He just wants this vantage point. I guess itโ€™s the closest heโ€™s ever going to get to being allowed up on a counter.๐Ÿคฃ#cats #notblackfriday.

I was in 4th grade. We were taking a spelling test when the principal came on the intercom and said heโ€™d been shot. Minutes later she announced he was dead. We were little kids, still many were crying. I wasnโ€™t. I was shocked and bewildered. The world wasnโ€™t safe anymore.

True, that the elite pedo gig came to attention to be as fake as Q Anon Pizzagate for many of us. That said, I donโ€™t know a soul that thinks any of these slimes should walk based on what โ€œsideโ€ they are on. Crisis of elite impunity, indeed.
