Long day. Got up at 4:30 to be in Spokane by 9. Full day. Headed home. Getting tired. About 15 miles out of town, this comes on the ‘80s station. Was wide awake the rest of the way into town. Love hair bands!

I'm not at all surprised that women choose the bear.
I have literally run into a bear on a forest trail — scared the absolute shit outta me — and, if I was a woman, I'd still choose the bear.
There are way too many women in my life who can tell you exactly why — and I absolutely believe them. 🤬

So, this is going to sound stupid, but I just did a thing that “scares” me (gives me anxiety, really) … I transplanted five plants into two new pots that I just bought from a local nursery (because the hell with big box stores).
I kill plants, pure and simple. And that’s a problem because …

Oh, man. Had two leftover French toast slices in fridge
So I put shaved ham & Velveeta (don’t judge) on each bread slice.
Poached two eggs in my wok while nuking the rest. Egg on top of each with a pat of butter. Scarfed them down.
Lazy-man’s eggs … something.

Y’know, I still believe in Blackstone’s ratio, but some days it’s a very hard pill to swallow.
This mf’er got a fair shake in court … much more fair than any woman he molested got.
I’m glad Weinstein will still be in prison in California. Let him rot.

So I bought three plants from Walla Walla High School’s FFA Club fundraiser — Ipomoea or Morning Glory (left), Verbena or Lanai Cyclops Purple (center) and Snapdragon Snaptastic Mix (right).
Now I have to figure out how to keep them alive on my windowsill and/or balcony. 😅

It's a shame that President Carter isn't a Catholic because, if saints exist (and I don't believe they do — at least, not in the canonized Roman Catholic sense), I've never seen a better candidate for the honor than that man.

When I was a small child, there was a widespread "Crying Indian" anti-pollution public service announcement that played everywhere on TV.
I know that "Iron Eyes Cody" wasn't really a Native American. And I know that the ad is all kinds of racist by today's standards. But I remember…

I bought a little boule of cinnamon chip bread a while back, so I sliced that up for French toast. Fried two slices of bacon, used that grease and two tbsp of butter for the pan.
