I feel my dad when I'm pensive, when I wash my hard-working hands, when I see a crooked tree clinging for life on a rockface. I sense his presence when a dragonfly or kingfisher passes on by. I can still smell his honest sweat, a sweet smell of toil & a job well done. I love him.

I so miss my dad. Lost him just over a year ago. It feels like yesterday, or perhaps it's been an eternity.
This photo, with my nephew (whom I also miss, but, thankfully, is still with us) was taken 16 years ago when we were whale watching off the coast of Inverness.
I love you dad 😢🙂💟

My sincere admiration and gratitude to all the athletes, coaches, trainers, volunteers, organizers, fans, - and the city of Paris, France - etc. for making the 2024 Olympics THE BEST OLYMPIC GAMES EVER!

@LnzyHou lol

When someone says to me, "Technically speaking," I see them as Borg.

Racism is taught, learned, and accepted.
With education, travel, and an open mind, it can be rejected. I know, because I grew up "innocently" steeped in racism and homophobia.
Then, I grew up.
Let's hope the post-November 6th world will embrace introspection & a better Humanity.

Shelob and Sméagol have a one night stand.

Who sneaks out of bed first in the wee hours of the morning?

Care for "Good evening glow"?

@Zevon Thank you!

Good evening

@LnzyHou Thanks you, Lindsay. I hope all is well with you and yours.

The Sound

Loud is the volume.
Message, all too clear.
Echoing in billions of soundless ears.
Gaia's plea to survive, humanity included.
In a world with trees and compassion denuded.
Mass extinction shivers down the spine of all.
Shaken off as we celebrate the Great Fall.

Woo-hoo, a new 5-star review.

@LowEndMuse Evolution?! Bwa-ha-ha!

@LowEndMuse It's incredible how few people have grown.

@sfleetucker It's following is becoming more vociferous.

Racism isn't over, it just rested a while.

Evil needs enablers, otherwise it would just be in a straitjacket, yelling at walls, choking at pillows, and profaning itself at an undeserved toilet.

@Tattoomonkey29 Thank you, Ronnie. Mother Nature deserves some credit ;)
