On this day of infamy, it is good to remember that the same people that scaled the wall were the ones demanding a wall at our Southern border.

On a brighter note, the geese have returned to the pond behind my house.

I haven't seen the geese since early last summer. They have been around, but in a pond separated from mine by a road.

Nice.

And I have an idiot governor who is still trying to build that wall.

I read an article saying that the gas prices in Texas jumped because of the cold weather and that it bodes ill if we have snow again.

The snow is coming down heavily in Lexington, KY, where my sister Annaliese lives.

As if I weren’t reading enough books already, I started Laurie Lee’s travel memoir, As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning, last night and did not want to put it down.

Today is Epiphany, or Three Kings Day, in the Christmas calendar.

I would like to offer this selection.

Bogdanovich never repeated the high marks set by his first three successes. But his film books, interviews and writing are treasures.

BK -- I was going to post a picture, and once again have gotten the message:

Your attachment has failed security checks and cannot be uploaded. Please consult the forum administrator.

It's a phone-camera jpeg about 140 kb in size. This has happened to a few of us over the past several months. I believe each time it's happened to me, it's been a photo I've copied from my iPhotos to Preview and resized to fit. That usually works as it should, but once a particular image has "failed security checks", there's seemingly nothing I can do to change that.





That's so weird!  It hasn't happened to me...yet. :-\

I don't remember who posted it. I think it was only one other person, even though I said a few above. It's a fairly recent phenomenon, not an old one.

It's a sad day for this country.

One year ago today, 245 years of our Republic, founded as a Constitutional Democracy, came under attack.  The forces that set all that in motion remain steadfastly determined to make it happen again.

Pray for all of us.

While I am happy to see geese, I am being reminded how NOISY they are.

My yard is the preferred location for their annual mating rituals.  It gets VERY noisy at times.

;D  They are also very messy which is why we have to keep them off of the lawn here.
