The peace lilies are certainly “lily-ing” – just beautiful!

Here’s three interesting sites for you to visit today – tabs I’ve kept open in my browser for probably way TOO long!! https://justdeleteme.xyz/en – the name says exactly what this site helps you to accomplish. Remove your data from a wide variety of online sites. I really like the rating of how difficult the site makes it for you. https://justgetmydata.com – a companion site so you can actually…

Thinking about our near endless daily cycles and this haiku sprung forth. If you have some control of your time you are truly blessed! Early morning crispMidday hustle endless grindLate night recoil rest

3 interesting tabs opened in my web browser (which I’ve switched to Brave and I love it). Go RIGHT NOW and visit The World of Stonehenge – amazing interactive 3D tour of the Stonehenge site and all sorts of information about it. Online Killboard – this is a website dedicated to the ultra-modern warfare being waged by the Ukranians. Fascinating and morbid all at once. An interactive world map…

In the days of increasing government surveillance I find it fascinating to “see what I can…

An early family 4th of July celebration ended with the proverbial bang!

For everyone on their life altering journeys – a haiku on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. A year since near death…Scars visible – fighting onto ascend each day

Happy Bourdain Day to those who celebrate. Bourdain would have been 70 today. I dearly loved watching his TV shows – since his death I’ve only watched them sparingly as they give me a feeling of utter sadness. I have quite a few of his books. I haven’t read them except to skim a bit – I got them all after his death. Today, I will watch his work on TV. I will move past this sadness I still feel…

Three interesting links open in my browser tabs… Absolutely amazing video of a Ballista spider capturing the evening meal of a green ant in a snare trap made of webbing! If you are American (or are simply curious about regional US dialects) take this quiz – I found it moderately accurate. The quiz tagged me with a Birmingham / Mobile Alabama dialect.
