The United States as it has existed most of my life no longer exists nor will it ever again. Between 1/3 to 1/2 of adults here think this is acceptable if not actually desirable.

I wept in the shower this morning.

Sixty, like sixteen, is the best time of life; an age where the burdens of one’s forties and fifties have been laid down but the slowdown and illnesses of the seventies and eighties have not yet arrived. An age to enjoy life.

My brother shared this cool picture that he took of a flock of seagulls on the Outer Banks. I like that he got the birds, their shadows, and their reflections all in one shot.

Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes to Hollywood still had an amazing voice.

The Great Pumpkin never showed despite these amazing wooden decorations that my wife made for the yard.

Maui and Bridget crossed the Rainbow Bridge six days apart earlier this month, both at 14 years.

Ella, also 14, is all alone now. She now follows us everywhere around the house

Finally got two see the Hearst Castle. Was foggy in the morning on the common areas tour but cleared up when we back up the hill for an afternoon tour of the upstairs quarters. My dream library!

Tulip is annoyed that her bed (not at all her bed) is turned and filled with dog toys. #caturday

Just took this picture with my aquarium lights off. It’s incredible that the phone can still get these colors in lowlight. The only coral I can make out with my eyes is the large Space Invader Pectinia (Pectinia alcicronis) in the upper right correct.

Played our first game of ‘Finspan’ tonight. I like both it and ‘Wyrmspan’ more than ‘Wingspan’ but not sure which one is my favorite. All three have both similar and different mechanics

Watching Ken Burns’ ‘The Civil War’ for the first time. Turns out Tulip likes the coronet.

I was disappointed that Amazon cut Wheel of Time then discovered what a highly rated epic fantasy series it came from. Just got the first book from the library. See you 3 million plus words from now.
