My Tidal account (similar to spotify but they pay their artsists better) informs me that I am Al Pettteways's 3rd biggest fan. I am both a little proud of this and sad that more people don't listen to his beautiful guitar playing.

I know no one reads my posts which is probably a good thing but I feel the need to proclaim into the void that the world today makes me profoundly sad. I am sad that Americans elected Trump, that the supreme court doesn't respect the constitution and that flagrant lying is accepted as normal.

As a former veterinarian I have used lots of ketamine to anesthetize patients. It boggles my mind that anyone would want to use this drug on themselves. This is yet another proof that money does not buy happiness.

The AOC / Bernie Sanders fighting oligarchy rallies have IMHO been hugely successful. They are showing true leadership. Why does it have to be east coast liberals coming to my state (Colorado) to rally the people? I just wrote to my senators and representative to urge them to be doing the same.

In dark times I often turn towards music to express what I'm feeling. A few songs that lately speak to me about the times we are living through include.
Theo Katzman - You Could Be President
Buffalo Springfield - For What It's Worth
Mary Gauthier - Mercy Now
Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

Epidendrum porpax is an orchid native to Mexico, Venezuela and Bolivia. Based on its bug-like appearance, I suspect it is one of those orchids that tricks an insect into attempting to mate with it and accidentally pollinates it.

The Cobra Lily (Darlingtonia californica) has to be one the coolest plants. Not only does it look like a snake (complete with forked tongue) but it is carnivorous.

After making Alphonse Elric My daughter convinced me to make Mechagodzilla after she had seen it in her Japanese class. This was the first cosplay I entered into a competition.

I thought I'd start by posting some of my old cosplays if for no other reason than to have a record of them for my own purposes. Alphonse Elric was my first serious cosplay after watching a bunch of Evil Ted Smith videos. Seen here with @brondoes.bsky.social and @trinityrenee.bsky.social .
