The Seine is looking pretty muddy. Unsure how they plan to swim in it for the Olympics. Maybe there were storms recently upstream.

We certainly are a unique society.
It seems that the "Wild West" will never be filtered from our identity in my lifetime.
What a mess we've got in KC. I wonder how we'll ever be able to have parades again.

I found this site near the Concord Plaza, Paris, today.

Enjoy Paris!

Enjoy Sacre-Coeur, Montmartre, Paris.

And another!

Today's walk through Paris.

Another Dali!

A Dali sculpture I didn't know existed.
At the Dali museum in Paris.

I'm at the Picasso Museum in Paris.

Incredible building next to the Louvre.

It doesn't matter how much I prepare, I'm always rushing just before starting a vacation.

It always seems to involve eating way too much food so that I don't feel guilty throwing it out or returning to a decaying mass.

Wow. I completely don't know Ushr's music. I'm old and ....

Do not take seriously
The opinion from people

On topics of international relations
If they do not also propose
The potential Second

Awesome!

My friends from Denmark have arrived tonight. This is the AI image we made together and have displayed on our dining room Frame TV right now.

Good morning!
Enjoy the calm after the storms.

What the hell is "manhood" anyway?

I've never considered myself overtly masculine. At one point in my life I was a "Sensitive New-Age Guy". I shook off that moniker a while ago. But, I think I've avoided the "toxic masculinity" we see too much of today.

I just don't get how I could be derided by men when I eat my BBQ ribs with a knife and fork (yet finishing it off using my hands), and yet they are OK with not being able to fix their car, door, refrigerator, or paint a wall.

No respect.

I've been encountering too many "men" exhibiting the paraphernalia of uber-manhood (trucks, baseball caps, country music) that can't operate a screwdriver let alone show interest in things that would provide help or protection for those that rely upon them.
