Happy Friday everyone. Well, we made it through another week of endless wars, rising inflation, a collapsing economy, and a country on the brink of financial disaster. Not to mention an environment that's slowly burning up the planet. As bad as it is, it's not all doom and gloom 24/7. Tell us what you did this week to put a smile on your face and forget about the doom and gloom. My go to is to get out with the camera and take photos, What's yours?

Other than photography, I love SciFi, supernatural, quirky crime and dark humor (books, tv, movies) and sports as diversions from the doom and gloom. Right know I'm on the 8th book of a nine book scifi series (The Expanse series) written by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, collectively published under the pen name James S. A. Corey. Governments from around the solar system must come together to stop an ancient alien artifact from destroying the human race.

I wasn't sure what photos I was going to post tonight but since these guys have been hanging around for the last month dripping salt water all over my desk I figured it was time for them to make an appearance.

These were shot on three different days at three different beaches. #1 & 5 were taken at Moonlight beach in Encinitas, #2,3,6,7 were taken at the Ocean Beach jetty and #4 & 8 were taken south of La Jolla Cove.

Folks, do you ever get tired of the political bullshit to the point that you just want to walk away from it all?

Yeah, me too.

Have you ever asked yourself why you haven't walked away from it all already?

Yeah, me too.

But yet, here we are. Still pointing out the bullshit as we see it.

Why is that? Why do we do it?

I certainly can't speak for anyone else, but I can speak for myself.

I'm drawing a blank, so here are a few memes. Hopefully you haven't seen all of them already.

Good morning everyone.
Wood splitting party went quite well, have three very large piles of firewood. I'm guessimating 7 cords total. about half hardwood (maple). About twenty family showed up. The guys split and moved wood and the girls harvested more tomatoes and corn.
E2 and her daughter made a fine lunch for all of us.
