Pop quiz: People are saying the kid says “you’re not the president you need to go away” — do y’all hear it too?

Rebel spirit!

I will not hold out any hope or optimism about the next four years. I’m scared for our country and the future for our kids (misinformation culture.)

I’m insulating myself in my very red state. Making a difference in my county/state is unrealistic.

Painting of my Reno. Acrylic, 2021

I met him as a puppy, on a working ranch while stationed in the AF. He was going to be my running buddy and companion. And he was. An intelligent border collie, but mostly an emotionally intelligent friend.

May 2011- Nov 2023

I still miss him, every day. <3
