How on earth did this uncouth buffoon ever make it to the White House? More baffling, how on earth is he still allowed to continue wrecking the country; economically, socially and politically?
The U.S. is sadly unrecognisable!

I don’t want to brag but someone just tweeted at me that I’m getting weirder and weirder and I was kind of honored?

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

Song - Last Thoughts on Woody Guthrie
Not a song so maybe bending the rules but it’s my list. Dylan’s words here speak for anyone (like me and maybe you) that finds salvation in music especially during the worst.

The rain did not dampen our excitement for the unveiling of our gorgeous new wetland interpretation project on the Bay to Bay Trail. A great project and team! One step toward better protecting our wetlands and species along trails. #trails #wetlands #stewardship #baytobaytrail #novascotia #intherain
