It still sickens me this bigot mocked a disabled reporter and millions of Americans said, “No big deal. That’s who I want as president.”

The Common Merganser looks for food by sticking its head underwater, looking for anything to eat. In this river, osprey and bald eagles patrol overhead, so the mergansers seem to keep an eye up above while they hunt.

Scanning Super 8 home movies, I found the most Texan thing ever: Newborn me, with my mom, in a field of bluebonnets.

The other day I learned of the existence of the "Kodak" REELS film digitizer. I took possession of my parents' Super 8mm films when they downsized, but hadn't figured out what to do with them. 1/4

The Democratic default is: "We can't do that because what if xxxxxxxx happens?"

The Republican default is: "Just do it because we'll win, and fuck everyone."
NEWS --> Top Virginia Dems have decided against exercising a procedural end-run around the State Supreme Court ruling that cost Dems four House seats, the Dem leader of the state senate tells me.

This will anger Dems who wanted an aggressive response.

Trump Wins Big as Virginia Dems Won’t Go Nuclear to Save 4 House Seats
The state’s Democrats have decided against forcing resignations on the state Supreme Court to preserve their redistricting. Funny how Republicans always find a way, and Democrats don’t.

Can reporters stop using the word deal? It’s an agreement, a settlement, a treaty, an understanding, an MOU etc. Using the word deal is accepting his simple-minded TV game-show framing and contributes to the bogus drama he is trying to create.

The Puget Sound area is an amazing place to find birds to photograph; today I visited Juanita Bay Park, on the shore of Lake Washington, boardwalks over wetlands and a real up-close view of the ducks and turtles.

A giant carp was feeding in the reeds, terrorizing the mallards who were hanging out above. Made quite a commotion!
