I voted. I vote because I know about women’s suffrage and the civil rights movement. Also, I like democracy—such as it is.

I’m starting to think BYU may be a pretty good team, but I can’t quite be convinced. I am of little faith.

I’ve got white pioneer relatives in that book—not to their credit.

You can tell I did not paint this rock, because of the misspelling. But I appreciate the effort of whoever left it for me to enjoy on my morning walk.

World Mental Health Day delivering this sunset view from my porch. Here’s to your health and mine.
Sunset against a fading blue sky, pink and orange clouds, dark treetops.

This is the best, most 2025-worthy Halloween decoration in my neighborhood. This house also had a living black cat perched in the window so they get extra points.

When you go for a morning walk in your town’s little wilderness park and have a wildlife encounter. Also, haven’t been raptured yet today. It’s a good start.

Sundance has been a part of the fabric of my life for as long as I can remember. I appreciate the good work and legacy that Robert Redford left in this world. We have loved the same mountains. RIP.

If I had a blog, I would write a blog post about this film’s simllarities with Hamlet. Okay, maybe just the final confrontation scene. #HATM

Bale has been in some stinker films (what was that one with the dragons?) but he has never given a bad performance. This is a Christian Bale appreciation post. #HATM
