The repugnant party is the worst thing that's ever happened to our country.. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. Worse than that.. they're all trumpscum doing his bidding.

Fear is:

"A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations of intolerance as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends." Henry A. Wallace

One portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide (CO) as hundreds of cars. If you own a generator and are getting it ready for the nor’easter this weekend, check and make sure your CO alarms are working too. CO is a deadly gas you can’t see or smell and it can kill in minutes.

One portable generator with an equal sign next to a lot of cars. The text reads: one portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of mid-size cars. Only use your generator outdoors and 20 feet away from your home.

Unless you live in Atlanta, where Pride is this weekend, right in the middle of the Fall.

Happy Pride, Atlanta!

#WorkPost Saturday. One time I restored and 1860s Robber Barron mansion on Jefferson Street in New Castle, PA.

I was unable to convince the owner to replace his slate roof with slates, but we did replace a whole lot of clapboard, and bare-wood restored its paint in period correct colors

Main facade, pre-painting, but after siding repair

Just got my CAVA bag stuffed with cash from George Soros to attend the #NoKings rally on October 18th. Still waiting to hear from Antifa headquarters if one of their corporate jets is available. Otherwise, I'll use my Delta "American Terrorists As Bad As Isis Fly Free" coupon. Glory!

Small fluffy cloud in a dark blue sky. The sun is shining on it from behind which makes the cloud glow and adds light rainbow colors.

Photons encounter,
A specular reflection,
A view to the past.

Boris Johnson breached rules designed to stop abuse of contacts made in public office and yet we are still paying this thieving yob from the public purse. A disgrace.

For reals!

I lived in Sonoma County for 30 years, so I basically grew up on Peet’s 😂

We used to have bumper stickers that read:
Friends don’t let friends go to Starbucks

🤣🤣🤣
