My brother told me to bring a soup that blinds you for one day for Thanksgiving dinner so I made this and had a test bowl and I’ve been hiccuping for 3.5 hours
A soup featuring a spicy broth, onions, and many sliced hot peppers

Dawn in late November
Pink and blue dawn sky over a calm body of water, industrial pier in foreground and the bright lights of a tugboat in distance Dark green water, cables crisscrossing view, deep purple-pink sky, and rusted industrial piers

Flight attendant comes thru to ask me what I want to drink and I unstick my face from the window, eyes rimmed with red, verklempt at the beauty of the Chesapeake, to sniffle and say, “Diet Coke”
Eastern shore of Maryland, focused on Kent Narrows, from the wing of a southwest flight. Lots of farmland, lots of visible erosion

My shadow on a Sunday morning 🥲
Two barges. One with teal framing. Bright yellow rope and bollard. My shadow is tall and nice.

Nothing pleases me more like a kudzu-covered telephone pole on a foggy day
Kudzu-covered telephone pole at a stoplight in Cecil county, MDx looks like a creature And another! Harford county, MD. This one looks more Wispy and the vegetation is dead

Your last saved pic is your moral philosophy
A comic where a guy finds a genie and wishes his dog could talk. The dog says “his next two wishes are: - ice cube in his hand. - I back to no talk.” The man sees an ice cube in his hand. The dog wags its tail. The dog goes to sleep.

Why has this been sent to every address in the city of Baltimore
A book cover. “The great controversy”. Cover art shows the White House with a reflecting pool under it, and in the reflection is the Vatican I guess Back cover of book. It discusses the rise of the Vatican in America and how Catholicism has increased here and what will happen if America embraces Catholicism. Idk if anti or pro Catholicism tbh

This is your sign to give your cat her very own shelf
Ruthie the tortoiseshell cat lies happily on her dedicated shelf on my bookshelf, which features a soft white pad for her to lay upon. Above her are books. Below her are books.

Candle with a label picturing a sweet old tuxedo cat. Says “sweet memories of decker” and “all profits from this candle will be donated to AARF”

Mischievous
Ruthie the tortoiseshell cat lays on her back revealing her luxurious belly fur and her little paws. She is staring at me. She yearns to be pet on her belly, she’d like me to think.
