Swank! lol.

2018. If you take enough pictures, you’ll eventually get something that looks all right.

Me, 2008, in front of the White House. I hope they don’t bathe that thing with rainbow colors this year. It won’t do a thing for me. 🌈

please post the text used to create an image

Posted on April 14, 2021 by | Leave a comment

It’s frustrating when an org makes a text announcement for posting but converts it to an image or screenshot and only posts that. People with limited vision get left out.


Since text was used to create the image, it should be kept and posted along with the image, then everybody is in! Images don’t amplify well, and those who use screen readers and things get left out.


Example below of image only. Even with my OK vision, it’s not easy to read.

anything but direct aid to the people

Funeral services advertising like mad on my Facebook feed. Maybe it’s that government gift they just got from FEMA. ⚰️ 🙄

1960s nuke fun

Posted on April 13, 2021 by | Leave a comment

When I was in grade school, there was a particularly hot flare of the Cold War going on, and the school was going over plans for what to do if the nukes flew. 💣

After the drill, my teacher said, “y’all know this is ridiculous, right? What are you going to have, half an hour, maybe? It’s not going to matter if you’re here, on the school bus, or at home, it’s going to be over.”

I liked that woman. She dug into a lot of subjects with that directness.

all the wrong moves

Posted on April 11, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Someone I know was going off today about people who use self checkouts. If I don’t want to see anybody, stressing, feel down, etc., themz the ones I use.

— I also shop at Walmart sometimes AND use the self checkouts.
— I have an Amazon credit card.
— I prefer Starbucks over those “small, locally owned, coffee shops.”

Unfriend me now! lol

A friend mentions that upgrading his 2007 Outlook will cost $140. That’s for an install on one Windows machine.

I think, “well, OK then!”

bird walk

Posted on April 10, 2021 by | Leave a comment

Brian and I went out hiking in the park to look at some birds. We have on our matching Audubon birding shirts. 🐦

In one pic I’m on my back on a bench flinging my knee around so I can survive the walk.
