Reading this AM about how 'Pub insiders are working to make Vance the lock candidate in '28, and that DJT has been telling them he's not going to pursue term 3 (thank goodness for small favors). This is great news for us Dems, as I see JD as a dunce racist asshole that will make a poor candidate.

Recognizing the Winter Solstice, here's my oil painting "Year". I did it in 2017 as an experiment in a style completely different than my normal highly realistic presentation. This 17" x 21" original is for sale for a mere $125.

Just read Jerry Jones' comments after the Cowgirls got run over yet again. Of course he's all positivity about their prospects next year, despite his intention to continue to be the GM. If he didn't own the team he'd already have been fired. As an Eagles fan I'd like him to continue forever.

Not sure why, but the nature of the posts in Bluesky I'm seeing has changed, such that I'm not getting the posts about art, pets, geography, comedy, and other human stuff that attracted me to it in the first place. I haven't changed any settings, not sure what's going on.

Had our annual visit last night to the fabulous Xmas display at world-renowned Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA USA, about 40 mi. from Phila. Thousands there on a frigid night, as there are every one of the 52 days (11/21-1/11) it runs. I couldn't recommend visiting it any more strongly.

Terrible loss today with the death of Steve Cropper. One of the real giants of soul and blues for many years, despite always being a supporting player. Sadly, the number of surviving big talents from that 60s-early 80s period is steadily dwindling, as is inevitable, but depressing none the less.

Why are there still "Hess trucks" being offered? Consider: a) Hess no longer has any retail presence, having sold all of their gas stations; b) Sadly, fewer and fewer kids are playing with all kinds of rolling toys; c) Hess trucks of any era have very limited to almost zero value as collectibles.

Eagles firing Patullo is so obvious as to be ridiculous. I know the coaches in the NFL are loyal to each other (Nick S. and Patullo are supposedly besties), but sometimes necessary changes just jump up and smack you in the face. If KP could fix things, don't you think he'd have done it by now?

Something to ponder: since 1977 (48 years, kids), Voyager I has covered "only" 15 BILLION miles. I say "only" because after 48 years it is only 0.214% of the way to Alpha Centauri, our closest star neighbor. At best, man MAY someday be able to visit Mars. Other celestial bodies - forget it.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Ozzy Osbourne today. I saw Sabbath at the old Spectrum in Phila. in 1970 (with Mountain and Mott the Hoople). A great power band at that time.

Is there any doubt Trump's penis is his worst enemy? Sexual assaults, marriage issues, and worst of all his very likely frequent participation in Epstein's world of underage girls all trace to his need for sexual gratification, and his priviledged view of how to achieve that. Truly despicable.

My Granddogs Echo (in the back) and Dingo ready to go in the annual Talmadge July 4 Parade (a neighborhood in San Diego). Kids on decorated bikes, baby carriages, lots of dogs, everybody in the red, white and blue. No bands or fire engines, a real family event. This was Echo's 13th parade.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Brian Wilson. The Beach Boys' music, and particularly their harmonies, played a big role in my musical development in the early-mid 60s. As a soloist in bands and choruses, I was frequently emulating their sound. After about '67-'68 their output faded badly.

I just finished a small (6"x6") watercolor entitled "Croce's Farmhouse Privy", a depiction of the ancient privy behind the old stone house in Lyndell, PA (40 mi. west of Phila.) that Jim Croce occupied in '71-'72, his most productive period. I live directly across the street from the property.
