@irynacranny.bsky.social I can't remember if the lion quote was proposition 6 or 7 in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus anymore (it's been awhile), but I found this on the web, and thought you might get a kick out of it.

The next step will be to plant a few paw paw trees, which zebra swallowtails require to spawn. they are shade-loving understory trees, and we have tons of room for those. They are one of the most beautiful of the North American butterflies.

I sorta kinda remember a Scottish breed that looks like a giant reddish sheepdog with horns.

This is a kiwano. It is a type of bitter melon, but I don't know if the species are exactly the same.

@sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social This is what snow looks like in Chapel Hill. The first camellia petal drop of the season. ;-)

Sometimes I glitch, and this is one of those mornings, so to make up for it, these are for you too.

In the early 1990s, while I was beating my head against a brick wall trying to get people to pay attention to the dangers of climate change, my late wife wrote a book saying all of this. It is still used as a textbook in many graduate schools.

There is only one thing better than going to our local on a Saturday night, and that is going to our local on a Saturday night on someone else's dime. Thank you Chuck @cpaone.bsky.social and Lana for being spectacular friends. We did in fact toast the two of you.

The beautiful boy lost two mothers by the time he was 8, and I was his only family (a job I wasn't really built for, but never shied away from) until the age of Misty. Was he gypped? He was gypped. Yet somehow, he turned out spectacular.

@sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social I've already posted this one, but this is my beautiful boy and Misty's beautiful girl from the wedding. After the fake rehearsal dinner, Jason and his girlfriend took Beach out for a night on the town, and I think she was hooked. Jason is probably the perfect ambassador.

In 2014, we had a freak heavy snowstorm pop up out nowhere in the middle of the day, and everybody bailed for home from work as fast as they could. It was called snowpocalypse now. ;-)

He was commander of the "overmountain men" who came back from the mountains of NC/Tennessee to shove the English out of North Carolina too. English General Cornwallis described the battle as being like fighting a swarm of hornets, hence the basketball team name. Benjamin Cleveland.

I'd say, "Oh shit!" Except I'm the one who had that coffee cup made for her, so I guess I can't complain at this point. ;-)

@sheilaeyoung1.bsky.social Four bluesky friends. @pamnation.bsky.social, who came from Ohio, @mistybrown.bsky.social (I'm the ugly one in the middle), and the photo was taken by the spectacular @cpaone.bsky.social, who came from Boston and will be a witness at the wedding.

In lieu of a traditional rehearsal dinner, we went for pizza and beer at our local, and this picture is four people who all met on social media. Pam came from Ohio, Misty from Utah, I'm the ugly one in the middle. The picture was taken by my friend @cpaone.bsky.social who came from Boston for us.

A great friend that Misty and I met here on Bluesky sent us a _spectacular_ wind chime to celebrate our wedding. Holy cow! It sounds like church bells!

After a day of many accomplished goals, including the marriage license (and accomplished on two hours sleep for me), Misty and I wanted to celebrate but were too fried to go out to dinner, so the master of meat on sticks marinated some beef fillet, and Misty rounded out the program. A great day!

Our spectacular friend @irynacranny.bsky.social, 3000 miles from us, hand made this incredibly beautiful and intricate shawl for Misty to help us celebrate our wedding. The Big Wheel Gang is the best gang in the world. Thank you Iryna! You make both of our lives better, and we love you very much.

There is a local beer from Maryland called Sweet Baby Jesus. It is a peanut butter porter, and it is Misty's favourite beer of all time. It finally became available here, and it will figure prominently at the wedding. I have to admit that it really is pretty damned good.

My grandmother was a complete badass. The definition of composure under pressure. Yet she was kind and caring, and whatever needed doing, she would do.
