Pictures

 So in between taking piles of my bedroom to the trash, and assisting Laurie increasing the usable size of our living room, Misty and I have gotten in three walks this week.  Wait a minute, no work again?  What can I say, stuff is slow, so I took Wednesday and Thursday as vacays and used them to make my bedroom a livable space again.  (Realizing, of course, the concept is relative.)  Here are the walk pics:

Rained yesterday, not that you can tell

See? Rain.

The rain we weren't supposed to get was followed by Ft Wayne's version of "partly sunny"

There's a rainbow I like

Chickory hanging in there

Trying to catch a hawk in flight

Big Guy won't change from green till the ground is white

watching distant discers

Wondering what this is sectioned off for

Darn baby discers and their socks...

This one too

that's a lot of exposed bank

"Is your old ass about ready?"

Never did quite figure out what this critter was...

...looked like a kitten raised by squirrels TBH

Almost trampled by the thundering herd

First time I ever heard a stork squawk so much flying by

Now that's red

So much for the 15th.  Here is the 16th...

Ah, there's the sun

A bit frosty and foggy

Some little white guys hanging on, too

Short and sweet!  Much like today...

Hmm... a little earlier today

Somwhere in this mess is a squirrel knocking walnuts to the ground...

Misty's been itching to use the shortcut again...

...and today, she said, "We're going"

Made it-

-right behind Big Guy.  Good job!

Almost the only ones we saw were this lady and her little doggie

The mighty towers of Ft Wayne

Trying to show Misty's breath

I'm not sure Stony Run is even making it to the river anymore

Blue Jay flies by

Okay, so now to the re-arranging.  Let me find us a before for the Living room...

And now...

And my room...

Note that you can see the floor

Martin World News- X edition

 So today I was perusing X as I listened to the shuffle, and saw stuff that I thought might make a good...

...Martin World News, X edition!  

1- What you get with an American Pope

Through Breitbart, with a confirmation from grok.  See here's the problem between religion and faith.  Religion tells us this is a good thing, uniting people.  Faith tells you a supposedly Christian Church is encouraging people to worship the demonic and march happily into hell.

2- Yer joking right?

BREAKING: Kamala Harris suggests she was the most qualified presidential candidate in U.S. history.

Please.  You were barely the most qualified candidate in a room alone with Joe Biden.  I just posted my first X poll on this.  Let you know if I get any votes in the comments tomorrow.

3- Timing is everything, I guess

In last week's NASCAR race, Ty Dillon asked if his spotter, Joe White, had let the leader, William Byron (who was right behind him and closing) know he was pitting this lap.  He supposedly answered in the affirmative, but Byron HADN'T heard anything.  The result should be obvious- Byron's race ended in Dillon's trunk.

So flash ahead to Wednesday, as the teams made their way to Talladega for this Sunday's race.  And then...

Joe White

Got to Talladega. Parked the bus, got fired. In an uber to the airport to go home for the weekend.

"I have a great idea.  Let's just string him along until he's 350 miles from home, and THEN fire him.  Stay classy, Kaulig Racing.

4- Go Woke Go Broke episode 1, 386

JUST IN: NBC News has terminated 150 staff members from its diversity units — NBC Black, NBC Latino, NBC Asian, and NBC Out. The layoffs account for about 7% of its workforce amid growing financial troubles. 

If you are an actual news unit, why do you have to have "diversity units" to pander to your 'target audience'? Oh, yeah.  So now, we wait to see if they go to actual news reporting, or find a new group to pander to.

5- Stay tuned for further updates

I hate when I’m on X and am rudely interrupted by a jogger bouncing off my windshield.
