Been quite some time since viewing my photos taken during this trip to Provence. Here we are in the mountains of Le Bar-sur-Loup, above Nice.

Fairly certain there will be more fear and fury over Netflix having control/ownership of the GOT franchise than there ever will be in reaction to maga's determination to kill our babies and roll back all human and civil rights from women, including the vote. Tell me I'm wrong?

Funny how all these a$$hole$ forever yelling amurika 1st blah blah to cover their plundering and selling off the USA for spare parts never thought that the actual USA would not go quietly.

Vote for them. They are the ones who will put back together.

Thanksgiving...so much for one as privileged as I to be grateful for, beginning with love of my life, friends, and where we live. There was also Cat, who was not yet deigning to join, as he disdains human food.

Christmas arrived at our park today, with the stringing of greenery and wreaths. Makes no difference to park's Squirrel Town Northwest.

This meet at the White House: how is it possible our nation never runs out of unbelievable twists and turns, and does them every single day, many times a day?

I noticed quite some time ago how much both that guy and the muskellunge yearned over Mamdani's riz, and

Watching Linklater's homage to Goddard and his Breathless, Nouvelle Vague Tuesday night was the best fun. From 1st beat to last, the film provided the experience of ballet's "ballon", that vision of effortless suspension in air, gravity's pull and power irrelevant.

Our Mayor Elect, Zohran Mamdani, has been scheduled to a meet in D.C. with that guy. Does anyone else speculate, on the basis of that guy's behaviors this year, that guy may think he's talking with Kash Patel instead? After all everyone looks alike, doncha know!

Today is the 162nd anniversary of Lincoln delivering his Gettysburg Address, on a day of miserable weather, on a ground that literally stunk of death and the dead (bones, body parts even, coming out of shallow burials, and which most people could not hear.

Walked to our supermarket shortly before sunset. The color was gone by the time I was returning from the brief visit.

The bones on which the beauty of our community is built are being revealed as each day more of gorgeous clothes fall to the ground.

Yesterday was golden beauty. Tonight comes winter's preview. Even, perhaps 30 degrees, overnight.

But yesterday!

Do others also find it hilarious both orange chaos demon and the muskellunge speak their thirst of Mamdani's capacity to light up a room, his charisma?

"... “You got to hand it to him, he does — he can light up a stage,” Musk said of Mamdani. “

Photo by Addi, Postmambo's Moroccan producer, of another adored member of the team. Vaquero said, "it looks as though youbdoing sand divination." She says, "I was blessing Vaquero."

BTW, we are feeling a slight ease in tension, and accompanying hope here, today!

Apparently it has not occurred to Them that removing everyone from the US with "Spanish" heritage, who speaks Spanish because they don't belong in the US, and annexing Mexico as the 51st state is
