First Thing I'm Buying Is Ear Plugs...

I found this today on a silent, solitary hike around my town, Leesburg, VA. I think it's safe to say, given this person's accommodations under a bridge, that, per the graffiti, that this human's not 'kk'. Far fucking from it. I ventured closer, but saw no one "home," so I said a small prayer and left a $20 bill inside the meager "front door." I hope this person has a better night than the last one. Please pray or, if you're not a spiritual person, but still consider yourself connected to humanity and The Universe, send good thoughts to the Cosmos that this person rises out of her or his current station. And if you happen to come upon something like this in your environs, I hope you have the wherewithal to lend a hand of compassion and charity.

Because we're all in this together...

My new mature woman crush. Her brand of humor is just my style. I wonder what else she can do with her jazz hands...🤔

Come to think of it, that's a perfect pet. It is solitary and goal-driven, just looking to break its own record for constant food consumption, racking up the steps, and being aloof. Consider "owning" such a pet: no walking, cleaning up after it (it eats poo, so...), and it is content to wander all day, aimlessly. It is minimal in its disturbance of the surrounding environs, and when someone DOES happen to notice it, it is nonplussed, and just keeps doing its thing. Its motto: I'm doing my thing, and if you have a problem with that, then fuck off... or not...

And the Heavens taught me that anything can happen, as long as you stay for the whole show...

What in the actual FUCK kinda post is this?

Don’t lowball the agent. The previous couple tried, and it ended badly.

What the heck, right? My credo is that I'm opposed to nothing and open to everything...

So go, Golden Potato of Luck!

I think some law, somewhere, might be in the act of being broken in this frame...

And, might I add, I can't think of another instance in my life where I witnessed a toothbrush being used in ways inconsistent with its labeling and design. I had no idea that it was a marital aid for turtles.

... my universe is ever-expanding...

Someone asked me today who some of my favorite writers were, and after a bit of reflection I responded: my partner of 16 years. My conversational counterpart raised an eyebrow, then asked, "Oh. Well what has she written?" My response: "She wrote two beautiful souls, our children, into being, and has assured me of a spectacular happy ending." Yes, she's definitely my favorite author...

What a waste of time, resources, and taxpayer money. Hey! I have an idea: let's just ship the whole damned family back to Israel. Problem solved.
