Happy #Stunday!
We're saying goodbye to the majestic Rocky Mountains today! Our early morning drive up Trail Ridge Road through Rocky Mountain National Park was pure magic. 12,183 feet of unforgettable beauty.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Looking for the ladies! 🦌 It’s rut season, with all the drama you'd expect. Bugles echoing as bulls challenge and show off. And the females? Pretending not to notice. It's nature’s soap opera, elk edition and we were here to see it all.

I caught this stunning view of the brilliantly yellow setting sun shining through storm clouds in #EstesPark in #Colorado this evening. Tomorrow, we'll be in Rocky Mountain National Park. Moose? Elk? Maybe bears? Can't wait!

RFK Jr. has a new theory on autism. He thinks circumcision could be a factor.

It confirms what many of us have suspected for a long time.

They genuinely believe their brains are in their dicks.

South Dakota is one of these states. And yet, our Senator, John Thune, refuses to even acknowledge that this is an issue. Just keeps blaming everything on the Democrats.

I'm surprised they let them in.

People cowering in fear in Chicago????
As visitors, we walked everywhere and were thrilled with the level of hospitality shown to us. One of our favorite U.S. cities to visit!

The Needles Highway winds past this iconic rock formation, aptly named the Needle's Eye. Numerous dramatic tunnels and towering rock formations make it one of the most scenic drives in the #BlackHills.

These pretty pink paper flowers caught my eye as we wandered through a busy street market in #Singapore. So sweet!

She'll have to leave pretty soon if nobody will let her use a bathroom. She won't be able to check her hair and her makeup.

None so far. It's been unseasonably warm. Rapid City set a record high temperature last week for the date: 94°!

I was so excited to visit Ubud’s Sacred Monkey Forest. More than 1,200 long-tailed macaques run wild and rule the jungle preserve. They were playful, curious and are considered sacred guardians by the Balinese people.

And my senator ( #SenatorThune ) stands back and does nothing because, of course, #SouthDakota farmers would rather let their crops rot in the fields and get federal government welfare they paid for instead. No problem!

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.
