At 65, packed it up and tossed it into the back of a Buick Rendezvous, and set out to #travel to the PNW to find a new home. The Brookings area was nice, but I found my vibe in Eugene. Here’s a Ken Kesey mural in neighboring Springfield. #DailyPictureTheme @DailyPictureTheme

"Most #intriguing ," murmured Watson, "the bloody footprints lead out here, onto the veranda, and then they just ... disappear."
"Quite so."
"It's as if ... the blackguard just ... vaporized ..."
"Indeed."
"I say, Old Sod, just jump in any time with a theory, won't you?"

I met this guy recently at a Dem fundraiser. He left the Repub party due to Trump. I asked him, “does that make you a Reagan Republican? A Bush Republican?“ He likes Bush #1 fiscal policies. At the same dinner, he was trashed by keynote speaker Rep Pete DeFazio, who is endorsing his opponent.

Drunk as a coot and snoring like a chainsaw, a bowl of ice cream upside down on his chest, dribbling down both sides of his gut and onto the Lazy Boy. Mom would say, "Take your dad to bed now. He's had a long day." And we'd #wobble down the hall, both of us tripping over his feet of clay.

She tried to keep her #anticipation in check when she discovered Season 3 of "Hacks" had dropped. Just in time: she'd just streamed the last episode of "Secrets of the Octopus". Her shaking finger hit "play".

It all began to #unravel when he started amassing one dollar bills in the cupboard above the microwave. "For poker," he said. And she believed him.

I may be invisible, but I make damn sure I'm not inaudible. Keep speaking up and getting those discounts!

3Cs: Cannabis, coffee. and [another C word here] @3Cs

Once again a young male person skipped me in a line. They do not see women over 50, we are invisible. So then I said something and I got 10% off of what I was buying, which was not my intention at all. It hurt my feelings and then I felt like bigger shit for even saying something.

The government you elect in an un-gerrymandered election landscape, minus political rat-fucking, with fair voting laws, and an electorate well-informed by media devoted to the public interest is the one you deserve.

M Kaur @Mkaur

Thomas Jefferson said, "The government you elect is the government you deserve."

Let's see if we can improve on that, shall we?

The government you elect in an un-gerrymandered election landscape is the one you deserve.

Go ahead - quote spout with your own improvement!

He smiled, made an involuntary, almost instinctive, gesture of #welcome then abruptly withdrew. Claire whined & squirmed, all seventeen pounds of her focused on her goal, just inches out of reach – a friendly knee, wearing threadbare jeans. The owner of the knee sighed loudly.

"We must act now, my darling!" said Lars. She wavered. Sure, the investment was sound. They needed the placentas. But Lars' friend needed so much money upfront! Did she dare? From her retirement? "Don't you trust me?" he whispered. No time to #reconsider . This was love. #Spoutories @Spoutories

I watched as Mother's cigarette dangled dangerously from the rigid line of her lips, one eye shut against the smoke, as she painstakingly set Grandma's gunmetal hair in a permanent #wave . The kitchen reeked of rotten eggs and nicotine and three generations of disappointment. #Spoutories @Spoutories

Back in 2014, I snapped this photo at Grand Rapids (MI) Art Prize, an annual competition celebrating community art. The sculptor and the title are sadly lost to time. #hug #dailypicturetheme
