I hope you enjoy the updates to my art and life as presented in this blog. IF you don't like the political stuff and don't want to receive future blogs just say so, no hard feelings. So far, only three have taken me up on the offer. With that in mind, remember:
Below the Fold below is where lies controversial stuff, if you don't want to go there, stay above.
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, I present:
But first, a word from our sponsor:
New Art:
9 x 12" oil on canvas board of Taos Pueblo from one of my photos as I continue to focus on my time living out west.
The next is from a photo I took near Abiquiu NM. This painting is an 8 x 10" oil on canvas board.
This from a photo taken after a rain shower near Bernalillo NM above the Rio Grand. it is 8 x 10" oil on canvas board.
Old Art:
Yes, another tweak...sorry. This is oil on canvas board, a larger piece 16 x 20" oil on canvas board from my photo at Bandeleir National Monument, NM.
Florida: from high above
Walking the neighborhood one evening:
From an unsourced photo on the internet.
Took a walk another night night:
Great dinner, we family zoomed with Dom and Greg, steamed a pre-packaged dinner, talked and ate.
Reading:
Here we go again. Nevertheless, think back about what went on and who was involved...
dueling war rooms...Really? Either he/she is qualified or not, we don't need to go to battle over this stuff.
Listening:
Didn't listen, HOWEVER; When we lived in Albuquerque Linda's mother toured with Phil Collins for the No Jacket Required tour as she represented the marketing company that repped Michelob. One of the sidebars was that I wanted to attempt to promote a concert. I learned quickly that I was in over my head. Nevertheless,
I invested with
the husband of a client who put on an annual bluegrass festival - renting the city park, hiring security, fencing, portable toilets, etc. The headliner was someone I had not heard of, but recently saw her album cover... we also had Vasser Clements and John McEuen. I learned about money under the table to avoid taxes, etc. In researching McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, I did not realize that Jackson Browne was a member at one time. Hmmmm.
Humor:
Did you watch the first great debate?
I don't know if you caught it, maybe depends on which channel you watched...
Fortunately it was fair and balanced...

Not so funny,
Recently I received this email from a friend..."I''m sure this will shock some of you but thought I would let you all know, that yesterday I volunteered for the vaccine trials for Covid-19, The vaccine is one that was created in Russia. I received my first shot yesterday at 7:00 am, I wanted to let you all know that it’s completely safe, with иo side effects whatsoeveя, and that I feelshκι χoρoshό я чувствую себя немного странно и я думаю, что вытащил ослиные уши."
So, there you have it.
***********************************************
Sometimes it is good to hear from a clear thinker...go ahead, give her a try.
Just a thought/question...this FDR guy must have been quite the white supremacist if you judge by your friends and inner circle...
Tear down his statues...where are they?
Below The Fold---------------------------------------
Or, as I have learned from your input, Preaching To The Choir vs Unbelievers
Climate change? Maybe this is why the seas warm...Hot molten lead below the surface. There are volcanoes below the sea...
7 minutes
******************************. Thoughts sent to me...
Nothing says "unity" like playing a separate National Anthem for black people and white people at NFL games.
If black lives really mattered; they'd be tearing down crack houses instead of statues.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pretty wild how we used to eat cake after someone had blown on it........Good Times.................
I don't want to know "Why mobs are tearing down America's monuments." I would rather know, "Why are we letting them?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right...
Just saying:

I held off reprinting this until I found enough variations to feel comfortable, as sad as it is. There are two parts, one, the divorced husband of Jill Biden claimed multiple times that she and Joe did not meet like he said, and that those two were "seeing" each other before their divorce.
And then this, which is gross, from JB to do this...
Not all lies are the same. Some are utterly harmless, even comical, like those President Donald Trump tells about his golfing prowess, or the one he
told about his Inauguration Day address: "I made a speech. I looked out. The field was — it looked like a million, a million and a half people."
Other lies are different, though, because they come at the grievous expense of real people. Like, for example, the lie in which Joe Biden for years falsely and repeatedly blamed the death of his first wife and daughter in a car wreck on a truck driver, a living being and a citizen and a father, who Biden said "drank his lunch."
The police report made clear that the truck driver in question hadn't been drinking and wasn't even at fault — that, in fact, Mrs. Biden "drove into the path" of the tractor-trailer.
But other than that, Scranton Joe's oft-told tale of woe checks out. Honest.
"The driver of that truck,"
wrote (link to the original article source) Kevin Williamson back in March, "went to his grave haunted by Biden's lies, to the point where his children were forced to beg the vice president to stop defaming their late father. The casual cruelty with which Biden is willing to subordinate the lives of ordinary people to his political ambitions — for the sake of a petty tear-jerker line in one of his occasionally plagiarized stump speeches — is remarkable."
Williamson calls Biden "a vicious, self-serving political hack ... whose ambition leads him from time to time into shocking indecency." This sounds about right.
Clearly, Biden's truck-driver lie is a qualitatively different kind of tall tale than merely padding one's crowd size on Inauguration Day. But if you've never heard about it, you're not alone. The mainstream media doesn't seem to think it's newsworthy, even though it goes directly to Biden's integrity, even his fundamental decency. The man has, throughout his nearly half-century political life, proven time and again that he'll say just about anything to advance himself.

Definition of a Post Turtle!
A doctor, while suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, whose hand was caught in the squeeze chute while working cattle, struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Joe Biden being the Democratic candidate for President. The old rancher said, “Well, ya know, Old Biden is a “Post Turtle.” Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was.
The old rancher replied, “When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle on top, that’s a post turtle.” The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor’s face and explained, “You know he didn’t get up there all by himself, he doesn’t belong there, he doesn’t know what to do while he’s up there, he’s elevated way beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with.”

I was thinking that maybe, just maybe, God is giving us one last chance to get it right with a pro-life president and vice-president running against a fake Catholic and radical Planned Parenthood supporter. REMEMBER:
SCOTUS...
Go back to France, this is the United States where a woman can do what she and her husband want to do...
Here we go again. Nevertheless, think back about what went on and who was involved...
the husband of a client who put on an annual bluegrass festival - renting the city park, hiring security, fencing, portable toilets, etc. The headliner was someone I had not heard of, but recently saw her album cover... we also had Vasser Clements and John McEuen.
