Musings

For some reason, late Sunday afternoon we began binge-watching “Yellowstone” from the beginning. We got into the second season tonight. Too much blood; not enough snow, is what I’m thinking.

That’s neither snow nor ice, just shower steam.

Three years ago was before Covid-19 (at least here), and I found this beast. My day this year, in 2022, was dull, perhaps stifled by my Friday shot. It has certainly made my arm sore. Whine. But I am okay.

Blew me away. Organic? Certainly an oxymoron. And a great distraction immediately after getting our New & Improved™ Covid shot/booster (not sure which; it’s the most recent release).

Also, nope, we didn’t buy and try New & Improved™ Reeeseees.

Somehow, an anole got into our bathroom. I managed to herd (I use that word loosely; anoles not only run, but hop and jump) the anole into this bucket. Then, I took the bucket to the balcony and let it go.

I decided not to think about how it got into the bathroom. Total mystery.

I’m also trying not to think too much about the early returns on today’s vote. Also rather a mystery.

This is a ho-hum photo of commercial decorative art, yet somehow it catches the eye. Still: it’s ho-hum also.

On a personal note: trying to stay calm in advance of tomorrow’s voting.

Despite the color to these leaves, at night, moonlit, they look rather like snow might have accumulated, when my brain is sleepy.

I found this on social media, proof that the Grace is back on the water. She is the yacht we explored the Galápagos Islands on, and something like three weeks after our trip, she was headed to Guayaquil, a mainland port, to get new engines and other work. Glad to know she’s sea-worthy again.

I did not pose those leaves. MaNachur’s fine aim that gently deposited leaves on that railing. Gravity is powerful. Aesthetically guided gravity is even more impressive.

Also, I finished “West with Giraffes” (by Lynda Rutledge, 2021) today, a LOL read, and that is not commonly a comment of mine. Recommended.

If I go down the front steps, I go by this healthy stand of herbaceousness. By typical North American yard maintenance philosophies and techniques, it should have been pulled and composted long ago. I’d better get going!

I don’t hear about voters on the fence, which seemed like a standard phrase back about a generation. This fence has no voters.
