Photos are all mine. 🧡 Portland 🧡 Books, bikes, photos, dogs, donuts, but that's not my whole personality. I don't fix typos. I'm careless that way. Resist! Persist! Insist!

Soooo beautiful. I lived in Austin, where they are abundant, and their shrill noises make your teeth hurt, and I still loved them even then.

I like your initiative but there is no way I'm letting go more books in this house. My "to be read" pile is very tall.

Hired some local muscle to enforce the "no soliciting" rule.

A big fucking orb weaver with a web spun across the upper left quadrant of a front door entryway. A sign on the door says, "no soliciting."

My friend who did just that as a govt employee retired after 40 years last dec with 1.6 million in her account. It's the best advice I followed late, but better than never.

Make exercise a part of your life, for life. Endurance, strength, mobility, agility.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

I want to pat that bear butt. Then pat it again, then start drumming a nice beat on it, getting into the rhythm, finding different tones over the thighs, on the meatiest parts, head back hair flying we're jamming now on the bear drum!!!
