Checking In On A Bird Or Two Twice
One: Because I said there would be more from these two and, no, before you ask, I don’t know their names or gender (UPDATE: Found out – a gal and a guy – meet Rico (yellow top) and Birdy Ray (orange top)).

Checking In On A Bird Or Two
Checking on some pals after a frustrating and tiring close to the week Friday. Silence…door open…then a chaos of noise and a brief moment with friends. More from these two, plus, later. Shit just makes me smile. Continue reading

The Trump Treehouse of Tall Stories, Treason & Tyranny: “Gettin’ Redder” – Song
(UPDATE: 08-30-19. I just couldn’t take #6 below and the being satisfied, at the time, with “note that it’s not your best…” No, “note that it’s not your best” won’t fly.

When I arrived at his… Continue reading
