It's both disgusting and a damn shame to see the lengths to which the GOP are willing to go to protect THEIR KING 👑. Excuse me, but autocratic, authoritarian, dictatorial government has NO place in America. Never has. Never will. #nokingsday

I consider it more a must than a what if.

And Isreal became concerned about international law when?!

Straightened up the desk, dusted off the PC, and have begun a new book project. Decided to have some fun with it. No, on second thought, I'm going to have a lot of fun with it! #story #creativity #inspiration #writing #LifeIsGood

How do we make it stop? I can see the media still debating whether a constitutional crisis has been reached while being hauled off to detention centers. Haven't we reached enough's enough, yet?

Happy birthday, young man! ✌️❤️😁

I'm experiencing goosebumps already just thinking about Goodwill Hippie Dash 2025 in Safety Harbor, Florida, a little more than a month from now! A lot of preparation goes into getting Kaspar ready and has now begun. See you there? #hippiedash

I love the youth of America! They are a national treasure. Talented, creative, and smart, they are the future of America. However, the America I had hoped to leave to them seems to have been hijacked by a corrupt, authoritarian regime. For the sake of our children and their future, we MUST resist!

CHURCH TO ME
Church to me is wherever I happen to be. Today, it was inside my Westfalia, complete with communion: peperoni pizza and Dr. Pepper. Once Kaspar and I are whole again, it's off to the beach for a total spiritual revival. Ah, yes, the beach. Can hardly wait! ✌️❤️🙂

When I moved here and bought Kaspar, my 1970 VW Westfalia, I envisioned driving him to the beach and the two of us basking in paradise. But, no!!! freezinginthesunshinestate
