Migrated here from Post. Coffee, chocolate, taking pictures, walking/hiking, tennis, gardening, puttering about the house & spending time with my 2 pups, are for me but some of life’s simple pleasures. Unless otherwise noted, pictures are my own.

A few others here have suggested Valencia, Spain. I haven’t been keeping up with the news lately so I didn’t realize he’s going after Spain now too. But yes, we, as in the human race, are well on our way towards destroying ourselves and our planet.

If by a different place to live you mean another planet, please let me know if you find a good alternative to the one we’re on now.

If you haven’t done it yet, best get your car winterized this week. If these guys are your mechanics, hurry up and get ‘er done; before long they’ll be getting soft on doing any work at all.

After seeing them so many times over the years, the Far Side cartoons are still able to put a smile on my face 😊

Waves crash against dark volcanic rocks on the Icelandic coast near Hvalnes. In the background, steep mountains disappear into low, heavy clouds, while a patch of blue sky opens over the turbulent North Atlantic. The scene feels raw and untamed, with the contrast of mist, rock, and sea creating a dramatic atmosphere.

Amazing how so many surgical procedures are done on an outpatient basis these days. Here’s wishing him a speedy recovery 🍀

I’m not sure about sticking your finger in the margarita, but drinking it should help 🫠

Yup, that’s what you get for being nice and holding the door open for someone 😉

Hope you’re getting over that cold and are feeling better now.

Oh, no! Have you tried sticking it in a cup of cold water (to reduce swelling)? Hope you’re still able to make your protest signs.

Remember former football great Rosie Greer who counted knitting among his hobbies? Perhaps I will follow in his footsteps. Or maybe I will follow in Madame Defarge’s footsteps 😯 But seriously, I already sew (to mend my clothes) & I find that therapeutic, so why not knitting?

Do you find knitting to be relaxing? And if so, maybe I should take it up myself 🧶

Did you get much rain where you are?

I wake up every morning with the same question. Hopefully one morning it will be so 🙏🏻

Just out of curiosity, are there any cases where more than one bird species has the same 4 letter ID (like “WAJA”)? And if so, what’s done to further distinguish them?
