Remember 81 year old Repub Congresswoman Kay Grainger?

Quietly moved into an elder care facility and quit showing up to vote or work.

Decided, on her own, that she’d keep her benefits and cashing those checks from her $174k salary til her term ended, despite no longer working.

I’m taking the bus. Two, actually, because the route requires a transfer.

There’s always Uber / Lyft too. 👍

I was invited to photograph some of my fav bands at The Ryman, The Grand Ole’ Opry, Red Rocks…

And my fav fiddler helped me buy my first fiddle. Then took me out for lunch. 🙌 🎻

A photograph of a concert at The Ryman, shot from backstage. The house lights are up and you can see the packed pews, as well as the musicians.

A black and white photograph of The Lonesome River Band backstage at The Grand Ole’ Opry. Most are seated on a leather couch in front of an American flag painted on the wall.

Imagine if the Florida GOP went after property insurers that funnel $$$ to affiliates, then declare bankruptcy & raise rates, half as hard as they do 🌈 crosswalks 🤔

Did they legislate claw back provisions? Nope.

How does blacking out 🌈 lower the cost of living?

The sun rises thru the clouds over the beach. Small waves in blue water, seaweed on the beach, a pier in the distance.

Miami Beach. Same to you! 🌴

A white wave splashes on brown sand. The Atlantic Ocean is teal green. The sky is pastels of cornflower blue and pinks with a full white moon. Miami Beach.

A mostly black dog with white and brown markings lays in the sand, facing the ocean, with his head resting on his soccer ball. The water is light teal, the sky blue with white and pink clouds.

A screenshot from MSNBC about how Trump appoints people as ambassadors to get rid of them. The title reads: “Maddow finds Trump's new hiding place for screw-ups: ambassadorships.”
