Morning all! I've lurked through the last few days and haven't posted or commented much. Nor wished anyone a good morning. Been busy, preoccupied. Excuses. Remedied.

You all are the best. Oh yeah and apparently gizmodo thinks we are too.

Good on you J, you are appreciated!

(Don't worry he's look like this for years and has been to the vet and is well taken care of.)

Morning all! Sunshine and smiles to all.

Robert Reich, Clinton's Secretary of Labor. Like Bernie, he has been passing out truth bombs ever since. Here's a memo to Clinton in 1993:

Morning friends. 😌 Coffee is cooling to drinkable temp in my cup. Sun is brightening and clearing the morning mists. I'm here for you. For the conversation and enlightened observations you all visit upon us daily here at CoSo. Thanks.

Good mid-morning @Mandypar ☕

Hey, hello there.
How are you?

I wish you all a good morning and a great day!

I want you all to know I really appreciate you folks here. 🙏

I have coffee in hand, and later I am going to pick up a bunk-bed but I have a chore to do first. I'm setting a raised tile threshold to keep the rain out. I have them all cut and fit, now to mud them in.

Hopefully no potholes in the process, I want to finish and go visit the beach near where I'm picking up the bed.

To change my mood, a pigeon post from this mornings walk. Time for another cup and a pastry. Hey Google, music on.

Good morning! Coffee brewing.
Enjoying the morning "coolness" b4 it starts to melt the tarmac again. Off around the 'hood to inventory the chickens and cats.

I'll leave you with a positive note.
Dear US America, the kids are alright.

I can handle this. Soon, tacos de mero. Grouper (mero) is the most wonderful tender fish. Delightful, though always battered and deepfried. Haven't found it grilled yet. It may be too delicate for the grill.

A taste of the music and crowd.

Good Sunday all. Productive day planned. I am going to follow the pup's lead. Another cup of #coffee ☕ and I'll be ready to nap.

...We (I) realize I (b/c what other people?) must take cover, initially beside a wood fence, realizing that wouldn't help I race to crawl under the bed of a nearby pickup truck...roosters, daylight, coffee calls.

I may recall more from the earlier part...later.
