Honestly, just treat everyone how you would like to be treated. And don’t treat them how you wouldn’t like to be treated. Don’t be against any group. Be for humanity. All else will follow. We don’t really need any other rules.

I get to use my favorite word today. These are the antepenultimate sunrise and sunset photos from this apartment. In case this is a new word, antepenultimate means third to last. Ante (before) + penultimate (second to last). Fun word, right? [as always, the sunset photos have the church spire]

Sunrise in Geneva. Foreground is a building with a peaked roof and lots of trees. Further back are apartment buildings. Sky is pink near horizon, lifting to a near white at top of the photo. Lots of dark clouds. A single bird, likely a crow, flies by at top of frame.

Sunrise in Geneva. Foreground is my own roof of red clay time. To the left, the trees you could see in the last photo. A large white apartment building dominates the photo. Sky is mostly dark clouds, with light blue sky to the left and at top of frame. To the right, about half way up the frame, is a glowing gold and yellow, making the clouds in that area glow orange, as if they were on fire. Awesome.

Sunset over Geneva. Foreground are tops of buildings, from which a church spire and construction crane standout. Oranges and golds dominate the horizon, fading to a golden gray at the top of the frame.

Sunset over Geneva. A few minutes later. Foreground are tops of buildings, from which a church spire and 2 construction cranes stand out. Orange at the horizon, fading quickly to a light blue, which turns to a darker blue by the top of the frame. Nature is beautiful.

I don’t understand the fuss. If no illegal orders have been given, and none are given in the future, then nothing changes. Orders given, orders followed. If on the other hand, what you are concerned about is people not following *illegal* orders . . .

Good morning & welcome to #Caturday

There’s someone out there who still remembers you.

Not because of how you looked or what you did, but because, when no one else showed up with kindness, you did.

Kindness always matters
