I wonder
Can I find the words today
What light
The mist is gone
My world no longer grey
All the weight
Of all my yesterdays
Lifted and lit with celestial light
From the rising east
The whole of the sky
The lemon gold
Of autumn in Verona
And the moor burns bright
With copper fire
No such thing as black or white
Everything alight
Even the magpie's white is golden
And her black back
A royal sheen
of green and blue

Is Clamato and beer a breakfast drink, or a cocktail?
I think a lime and salt would make it a cocktail. Plain ol' Red Beer is a breakfast drink.

Okay, these take the new crown for the best Mero fish tacos on the island - the topping is krab (or crab maybe) not some coleslaw as I first thought. Good bang for the buck too #FoodPorn

I love when my order gets a little bit confused b/c language diffs, and something wonderful shows up.

Q&A with Yusef Salaam
He Was Thrown in Jail for a Crime He Didn’t Commit. Now He’s in Politics.
Yusef Salaam was wrongfully convicted as a member of the “Central Park Five.” Now he’s joining the New York City Council.
Happy 102nd birthday to my mom, who passed on to the next adventure in 2011. She was June Cleaver to my Beaver kidhood. 🫶
Robert Reich had it right in 1994, and still does.
Lunch in Waimea on a Sunday drive during my 2 week stay. Just about to leave when someone walks up to me and asks my name. I recognize my now 10 year older friend immediately, though I'd seen him earlier. A river buddy from Washington State that I've spent months with in Grand Canyon, now living here. What are the odds?
A visit to his house, whiskey and beers followed. Promises to stay in touch after an hour visit, and the world is smaller and better than it was just before lunch.
Big Island - the round rock is a green sea turtle on black sand beach - doesn't seem to load, next post maybe. Kilauea taking a back seat to Iceland, Sicily and...southern hemisphere somewhere I've forgotten.
Happy #CoSixVersary everyone!
I seem to remember when I wandered in shortly after liftoff there were a lot of cosplaying; dragons and witches and nymphs and Pan running around chasing same and I thought I was going to have to adopt a character and play it throughout...never having D&D'd or such I was a bit cautious ... and curious. I am so glad I hung on and returned periodically until it became a comfort to stop by and join in at times. I am NOT a joiner, but CoSo has helped me crawl out a bit.
I'm watching The Death of Stalin, and then I hope to see Swan Lake soon.

Seeing a lot of assumptions that people calling for a ceasefire are liberals who just learned where gaza is 2 weeks ago, or brainwashed students, or antisemitic who don’t believe Israel has a right to exist or defend it’s people from atrocities like oct7.
That doesn’t reflect any of the people I’ve known, calling attention to the suffering of the people in #Palestine, for over 20 years. So here’s a thread, to share the history as I experienced it of Americans supporting Palestinians.
Good morning 👋 and happy #coffee time ☕
Well, I thought we'd skirt this storm 🌨️ last night. Maybe an inch expected. Apparently in the early a.m. it dumped several inches to a foot around town. Looks like I have four to six inches around the house, with more on the way this morning.🧤🧣🥶
