Have never left the building without adoring El Greco’s Assumption of the Virgin. ❀️❀️❀️❀️❀️

We ate liver and liver sausage regularly when I was growing up. But I’m 80 years old. I wouldn’t touch either now. There are so many chemicals in feed, and chemicals deliberately given to the animals, that those livers must be incredibly toxic. Also, cooking liver is a major undertaking.

Me too. A book by Heather Cox Richardson, in fact. (Wounded Knee)

Age 80 here, a bit of college French remembered, don’t know any Spanish but loved every minute of Bad Bunny’s show. So alive, so happy, so historic, and who can resist a tall, good looking guy?

Meanwhile the only maternity ward in Johnson County, IN is closing. They have to increase the military budget to keep the economy going as other countries quit buying our war materials. The military spending is a big part of the national economy. Goodbye European buyers.

And Al Gore. And Hillary.

It’s been quite a while since I quit, and it was an excellent choice. Even before twitter was completely destroyed, it had a way of intensifying everything. Too much got blown out of proportion and distorted. Bluesky is calmer and doesn’t drive up your blood pressure.

It’s a good time to reread Gen. Smedley Butler’s 1935 pamphlet β€˜War is a Racket.’

A third term is the one thing I’m not worried about because his health is so bad. But will Yarvin and Thiel be able to steal an election for Vance? I don’t believe he could win without help.

Admittedly the hair is distracting, but the worst part is the fireplace in the captain’s quarters. Just hope and pray the artificial gravity never gives out.

I was 21 when TOS aired, & reading stacks of sci-fi. It was breathtaking, groundbreaking, a huge break from the usual crap on television. Some of it was silly, sure, but Roddenberry tackled important issues. And there was a woman in a pivotal role. A tough, smart, feminine woman role model.

Aha!! Interesting.

It’s because we have a weak p, pathetic governor and lieutenant governor, but I’ll take the win. Frankly, I was astonished that my Republican state senator and rep both voted against the bill. Everyone I know phoned and phoned and phoned.

Exactly what I thought when I heard it. He’s the last one they should have picked on.

Wildly crazy book, but I loved it too and couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for the movie!

It was named for a friend of Abraham Lincolnβ€˜s, Alfred S White, a renowned abolitionist. The crime against this woman was horrendous and the people here are outraged.

Thank you! And oops, I’ll try to be clearer in the future when I post my original work.
