It's the little things that bring me joy.

In case you feel the need to exercise this weekend..

THIS is true. In Virginia Beach, geese are literally everywhere. Here is their method.. the head goose steps out onto the street or sidewalk, giving you "the look" daring you to come any closer.. then he stands there while the 72 other geese lazily cross in front of you. They hold up traffic. They chase kids. They will attack. They will not be fucked with.

If you think anyone is creeping up on a goose and carrying it off.. I laugh in your face!

Silliness..

One of my favorite memories of my dad was going to shop in Sears for tools, then meander through the mall and end up in Kmart where we would browse and get the best popcorn in town before heading home. I was in college and he had bad hips.. I used to tease him that he covered more distance going side to side than he did moving forward. He even let me drive his car much to the dismay of my older brothers who were not allowed to do so.

Kmart was always my fave.

Found out my brother is all for Trump 2024 and believes in the after birth abortion.. "You just don't know, but it's true." Mind you, he is a childless bachelor. 🙄

And so in that passive-aggressive way that family does, I posted this on FB for him to see.

Though, despite his intelligence, I know it won't make a damn difference.

Ooooh.. the giggles...

Is it just me? Trump sounds like the unhinged man yelling out "end of the world" prognostications in Times Square and he can't understand why people just pass by him without stopping...

I've said it before and I'll say it again..

He ain't all there.

We can do this! Who’s with me?

I don't understand how AI is helpful. My daughter wrote a few papers for her college class and the professor gave her a lower score because they sounded too much like AI wrote them. My daughter had to request they be rescored and said she couldn't help that her prior teachers taught her proper grammar and sentence syntax. Her grades were ultimately changed to As. But still.. how did that help her? She didn't need to make any revisions, instead the professor had to allow for error on his end.

The change is starting. I’m seeing yellow leaves on the trees.

i will wade out
till my thighs are steeped in
burning flowers
i will take the sun in my mouth
and leap into the ripe air
alive
with eyes closed

I was fortunate to move into a place that has a row of tall trees and a little creek running behind it.

When I feel overwhelmed or contemplative, I need only sit outside on my balcony.

In these moments, I feel welcomed by the little leaves waving a greeting with the slight breeze and understood by the soft trickling of water reminding me to breathe.

And I can't help but smile as the black squirrel runs down the tree to grab the small apple I threw out there, before the deer can get it.

Can't say I'm looking forward to the after debate when MAGA switches their commentary from Kamala Harris: being dumb and sleeping her way to the top to.. Kamala Harris: angry Black woman.. when she refuses to let Trump, cut her off, bully her, or intimidate her by standing too close in that super creepy way of his.

But I do want her to take him down!
