My grandson's class at taekwondo, walking on feet and hands. It's basically just a warm-up exercise, that's funny to watch young kids learn how to do. #taekwondo #martial-arts #exercise #charcoal #drawings #photography #Photo.

Trump’s brag that Thanksgiving will cost 25% less this year? That’s about as real as a free turkey in Times Square. The truth: grocery prices barely dipped, and turkeys are actually up. The “discount” came from Walmart swapping items in their promo basket. Spin, not savings. #Thanksgiving #Inflation

NASA’s solar probe finally reached the Sun’s core and found this a massive Photonic Reactor pulsing like a slow heartbeat. Turns out, the Sun isn’t burning gas at all it’s powered by trillions of microscopic LEDs wired by nature itself. Scientists called it “a cosmic lightbulb.” Intelligent design?

Helios Institute unveiled the Photon Resonance Core, claiming it converts ambient light into stable micro-energy packets. The prototype seen here powered a laptop for nine hours using only daylight. Critics called it impossible, but investors poured in millions. Two months later everyone went broke

The Quantum Toast Array, a device so advanced it could both bend space-time and evenly brown bread. When powered up, it emitted photons of pure curiosity and smelled faintly of victory and popcorn. Humanity declared it the greatest leap since Wi-Fi, until someone used it to charge a vape.

Almost time to go back to work. Age is catching up with me. My biggest goal is to be sitting in my La-Z-Boy chair. But Nooooo! I have to go back to work. #Frustration #work #retirement #walker

October 31 and flowers are still blooming in the state of Missouri. As an atheist, I won't say it's a miracle but I will say it's very unusual. #flowers #blooming #Halloween

Headed to the psychiatrist this morning,thinking I’ll just act completely nuts and save us both the suspense. Maybe start with, “The voices said this was a good idea.” If I’m lucky, I’ll get diagnosed and validated before lunch. #DarkHumor #MorningMadness #TherapyDay #psychiatrist

Red flowers fade beneath the snow, their laughter gone where warm winds go. No crimson spark to chase the gray, just frozen dreams where gardens lay. I’ll miss their fire, their fleeting grace, winter feels colder in their place. #Poetry #Winter #Nature #SadBeauty

The president tweets at 3 a.m.,
declares himself “stable” again.
His followers cheer, “What a brain!”
as the country circles the drain.
Congress claps, the markets spin,
democracy grins and orders gin.

“Ghost in Transit”
He drifts between the yellow and the sun,
a whisper caught in second gear.
Shadows remember what motion forgets—
a ghost passing through the hive of day,
leaving only blur and breath behind.

After hours on hold with hospitals and “help lines,” I earned a PhD in billing corruption. Took a break, snapped some photos, played music, read a few Bluesky rants. Turns out art and sarcasm are cheaper than therapy and don’t put you on hold. #reflections #meditation #therapy #calming

A rope frayed by years still clings tight,
its strength forgotten, its purpose bright.
One bulb hums against the wind’s cold bite,
a filament heart refusing night.
We hold, we flicker, we fight the fade
in every worn knot, a vow remade.

While Americans juggle rent, groceries, and healthcare costs, the White House says the president’s top priority is, wait for it, a ballroom. Because nothing screams “leadership” like gold trim and chandeliers while the government’s shut down. Bread’s expensive, but hey, let’s dance! #trump #ballroom

Yesterday tested every kind of endurance, caring for my wife after surgery, then facing my own unknowns at the VA. Two people healing in different ways. Love keeps us steady, even when the body wants to quit and the heart just wants to rest.

Long day, heavy heart.
Care for the one I love,
while the doctors count my scars.
She heals from the knife,
I brace for the tests —
both of us patched souls
under tired skies.
Retirement whispers like mercy,
but purpose still pulls at me,
not ready to quit,
just ready to breathe.
