Every think about that?

Wanna see my picture on the cover

Wanna buy five copies for my mother

Wanna see my smilin' face

Which is, you know, pretty cool.

I've been officially relieved of caregiver duties by my brother. So, I'm packing and getting the car ready for a long drive back to Florida tomorrow. I'll spend a few weeks with my family, and then come back here to Michigan for the next shift.

Don't expect much from me today.

In the meantime, please enjoy the disapproving look from this redwing blackbird.

A few thought about Putin's speech, Marjorie Taylor Greene's sedition, enemies, foreign and domestic, and those who simply cannot feel themselves free unless others are in chains.

Pen Sale today on my store

https://www.etsy.com/shop/Stonekettle

Got some cool Celtic, fountain pens, letter openers, tweezers, and more.

(my partners are handling things while I'm on caregiver duty in Michigan and I'm running the sale remotely. Yay technology)

Sale is live

After years of caring for someone with Alzheimers and now caring for an stroke victim, two things are apparent:

1. The US healthcare system for the elderly is an abomination

2. I am not cut out to be a nurse

Still, here we are.

Spot the one guy who didn't use sunblock.

Pen and Print Sale

Sale is live on my store NOW.
I will be travelling (leaving here soon), but there will be someone here to handle packing and shipping and any sale issues.

This is a large sale, many items, don't assume everything is sold out in the morning without checking.

Thanks!

Folks, I have a family emergency and I'm going to be travelling. I may be out of pocket for several days.

As such, expect little from me for at least the next 48 hours.

I will try to have my business partner set up a pen/print sale tomorrow. We'll see how that goes.

Reminder: Yesterday Florida's Confederate Governor Ron DeSantis declared the history of black Americans "lacks educational value" and may not be taught in Florida public schools under penalty of law.

The history of black people in America lacks educational value.

Or a high school graduation

Well, now that we've gotten that out of the way, I'm going log off for a while and go run some errands.

If they indict a president before I get back, any president, just keep that shit to yourselves. I'll catch up later.

The 118th Congress convenes:

Speaker Kevin McCarthy: Okay, first, I'd like to...

Matt Gaetz (interrupting)

McCarthy: Yes?

Gaetz: Dance.

McCarthy: Wut?

Gaetz:

McCarthy:

Marjorie Taylor Greene (pulling out her pistol and pointing it at McCarthy's feet): He said, DANCE.

Many years ago, when I was going through Navy Chief's Initiation, my defense lawyer walked into the court wearing a pin-stripped zoot suit and hit the Judge square in the side of the head with a rolled up newspaper containing a very large, dead, and rotten fish.

Chiefs do like to be entertained.

What brings this up after all these years?

Nothing.

Just thinking about tomorrow and Kevin McCarthy's first day as Speaker.

Frankly, I don't even know if Nancy Pelosi owns a zoot suit.
