Happy Friday everyone, I hope everybody is doing well. Post any photos, memes, or music you like.

It's been a whole week in sunny San Diego with no sun. We began the week with below normal temps along with heavy mist and light sprinkles that increased to heavy showers yesterday and today with more rain in the forecast for tomorrow.
Between the lousy weather and projects around the house I didn't get out with the camera again this week so I've got some more photos from my visit to the Japanese Friendship Garden.

I wish presidential elections made our lives better. The occasional candidate appears, gets my hopes up, I dream of them winning, then The Machine takes over, takes those candidates over, and we are right back where we started. Over, and over, and over again.

I wish the internet could be utilized to educate us. I dream of being able to discover facts and truths with the swiftness of a click. And then, we have the Twitter Files to teach us we can only know as fact what some NGO says is fact.

Nothing Much!

It's been a heck of a bad week for me so far, although the last day or so has shaped up better. Nothing dire for the world, just a financial mess that had me worried and unable to sleep for a night or two. It's all straightened out now, pheww. So this thread is gonna just be a couple of good things that happened to me with wild animals recently.

I think everything I do is normal, not paranormal but normal. It's using the power of the mind to achieve whatever we can endure.
