a balanced breakfast

Living large on the highway. ☕ 🍩

last supper

Thinking of when a good net friend in Iran sent me on messenger a selfie of him smiling under a portrait of the Last Supper.

I waited awhile and said, “you’re actually going to send me that with no explanation?”

He replied, “lol, I thought you’d find it funny, so I was waiting. They aren’t rare here. (the portrait)”

My friend is a good one with good humor.

wine

On the cheap side but drinkable. Plenty good enough for the Nature Preserve.

At least the 1.5L bottle will last a few minutes. .75L kinda small. 🍷

trump sneakies

Footwear suitable for any occasion.

Seen at Granddaddy’s Antiques, Burlington, NC.

Let me know if you want me to go back and get ’em for ya.

200 milliliters in spanish please

I was watching a video of this Mexican woman making a recipe, and when she said “doscientos mililitros de agua” (two hundred milliliters of water) I almost laughed because it was so beautiful. She was singing it out.

For me, Mexican Spanish appeals the most. The vowels can be so clarion.

The Spanish of Spain, Castilian, is all messed up. 😂

another e-mail mess this week

Whenever somebody sends out an openly addressed e-mail with 100+ recipients (or more!), I always say, “Oh boy! Here comes a party in my inbox.”

The “reply all” thing from the recipients springs into action, and your inbox is busy for days, maybe a week or more.

Then there is the bonus of extra spam from people’s compromised address books.

I feel like posting the attached image as a tutorial, but I don’t want to get into it right now.

air travel

Sometimes I go for the deluxe meal.

air lineup

Looks cool when they’re all lined up like that.

vodka in the preserve

Trying some peach tonight. Pinnacle used to have a key lime flavor that we liked, but we can’t find it anymore.

linux mint

My desktop computer might be nearly ancient, but the operating system is fresh as a daisy. Riding Miss Daisy. 🌼
