Had a nice vacation.
Cut our trip short because of smoke from Canadian wild fires drifting down into Washington State aggravating my COPD. We still had a good time frolicking in the surf and walking the beaches picking up agates.

Dear friends, the responsibility to step forward and asking questions can lead to truths that break your heart. Such as the whole saga of discovering snoopydowg's demise, and the aftermaths' effect on Sam. I could not sleep well or stop crying without answers.

It's been a busy week for me personally, and for all of us domestically and globally. Much of Trump's base is unhappy with him for the Epstein denial and the pledge to send more arms to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Israel's Palestinian genocide continues unabated, plus this week Israel bombed Damascus. Erdogon pledges payback for the Damascus bombing. China plans to intervene. Every week looks more like WWIII. Let's skim through the highlights below the fold...

Afternoon folks!
It's a pretty good blues week, this week. Starting off we've got a compilation of a couple of 60's and early 70's albums (with bonus material) from Chicago blues slide guitar player J.B. Hutto, followed by an album from a guitarist from Detroit, Johnnie Bassett. After that there's an album of New Orleans blues and barrelhouse piano from Champion Jack Dupree very late in his career. Then it's on to a fine blues-rock album from Rory Gallagher and we finish up with an album from another insanely accomplished guitarist, Danny Gatton.
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning, good people! I hope you have weekend plans for fun and games and share it with us so we can get some ideas about travel and adventures.
Uh, not this one:
Happy Friday everyone. Welcome to Friday Night Photos your once a week escape from the day to day insanity of the world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music or whatever else you find of interest that helps tune out the madness.
Water. It covers about 71% of our planet. It plays a major role in our climate. Sometimes we get too much in some places and not enough in others. It's a liquid. It's a solid. It's a gas. It can be artistic and calming. It can be destructive and frightening. Without it life on Earth would not exist.
