thread 7 Threaded Spouts
This has been on my mind since discussions last night about being an election do-er instead of a downer. A word for anyone even toying with the idea of voting 3rd party.

Voting for a 3rd party is wasteful nonsense.

No 3rd party candidate has ever, EVER won the Presidency. None ever will.
Why?

#DailyPictureTheme #pause
Traveling the Curley Lewis Memorial Highway in Michigan's UP, we had to pause at this darling Lighthouse. It's modeled after the Point Iroquois Light just a few miles down the road. Note the bow of the little lake freighter coming in on the left.

Haven't seen the article, but my guess is this is not only about her prolific music output, but also about all the young people she has influenced to vote. She's a force for good. If she'd never written anything other than "You Need to Calm Down", she'd still be great in my book.

I have the very best partner. It's been 20+ years of love, laughter, travel, growth, adventure and fun. Today is my birthday and my first ever positive covid test. John bought me roses and we worked out how to keep him well. That's celebration enough. To 20 + more. 🎉

There were so many delicious breakfast choices at this little cafe in Hot Springs, SD that we needed to taste quite a few. Cheesy scrambled eggs, plate-sized chocolate chip pancake, stone cut oatmeal with blueberries. It was all amazing.

Our greatest delight in traveling across the country is stopping to eat at local diners. Somewhere along the road in South Dakota, we had breakfast at a place that took John's request for hot sauce very seriously. We'd never seen a bottle quite that large.

Oooo! In serial format. Like old time publications released stories. Like Dickens did with many of his works. Leaving readers breathlessly waiting for "what happens next". During the Christmas Season.
Conclusion; Avery is our Dickens!
I'm so excited. When do the ghosts show up?

Decorating begins. Ornaments are going up on the living room ceiling swag today. And I've brought down the first of way too many Santas. I found this one recently and loved the details . . .especially the tiny decorative buttons on his vest, the lantern in his hand and the cardinal in the greenery.

The "why" is a key point. After what Dorsey did with Twitter, why would anyone trust him with their life on social media again?

Question- who is using Bluesky and why? I have a Threads acct bx I have an Instagram acct for personal contacts. I haven’t and won’t ever even like posts etc on Threads bx I use it simply as a news site. Will never interact.

Evolution perfectly described. Step by step, nitty by gritty. Speaking of gritty, I can't stand hot coffee. I interned at a Theater in my teens. The other Greenroom grunts assured me I wouldn't be able to function without coffee. I could, I did, and I still do. Coffee ice cream, however . . . Mmmmm!
Mark Kubert, DC @MarkKubert
You don’t need to read this thread about coffee.

It might be disjointed as I wrote it on the fly.

It has none of the commitment to content, significance, or length as one would expect from Aaron.

Still…

Wild lights at the Detroit Zoo. They are not this blurry to your eyes as you pass them, but they turn out that way in photos. I still have to try to capture all the gorgeous lights. It's one of my favorite events of the year.

Any tree became out of the question in the 80s when my 18 month old Golden pulled ours down and chewed up all the wood or bread dough ornaments I had collected at craft fairs. We compensated by putting fake swag over every window and doorway and hanging the ornaments there.

Dark chocolate people ditched the prom and took their dates somewhere with grownup food and better music.

Dark chocolate is liked by people who never got a prom date.

My 1, 2, 3 runs Sim, Scott, Stewart. But I'll watch any version with one exception.. FX aired a very dark, twisty take a couple of years ago. I wouldn't willingly go down that road again, but I've never forgotten it.
E.G. for Example @EricGrevstad
Bah humbug! Starz is the only streaming service with the best version of "A Christmas Carol," George C. Scott's (1984). That's right, I said best, come at me, bros. Alistair Sim has the silver medal with Michael Caine and the Muppets taking bronze. Sorry, Patrick Stewart and Guy Pearce.
