I may get banned yet

I thought y'all might be interested to know that I left this comment in a Bern diary, specifically http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/04/10/1513295/-#ImWithHer-Evening-Thread where I saw a lot of comments ridiculously disparaging of Bern. So far, it's just a hide rated comment (8 hides to 1 uprate, thank you yojimbo). I guess I won't know if it leads to "worse" until Monday.

Purple Car

There are loose dogs here a lot. They wander through, like tourists, discussing their travels with Falcor, through my fence. Sniffs and tail wags, maybe a little fence running, and then on they go.

Recently there has been a brown and white spotted pit bull mix, a male dog with his equipment intact. Very sweet and friendly. He's been around for several days. It drives me crazy when they keep showing up, because I don't know whether they are abandoned, or just on walkabout.

If We Only Have Love

I just signed up here a night or two ago, and here I am making bold to share with you some little bit of myself. It's about me, of course, because I chose not to be known here by my screen name from TOP (DaNang65, fwiw) but to use my real name. Not exactly the one my parents carried me to baptism with, Robert, but the more familiar Bob.

I know, Bob, the butt of a thousand typical white guy jokes. So be it.

Broken criminal justice system: Ignoring the Mind

Many have voiced concern about our broken criminal justice system, even predating Martin Luther King, Jr. The concern has been logarithmically increased, especially in the past four years. Hurray for Black Lives Matter for bringing this issue to the forefront of political discourse--though they are certainly not the first such movement to call attention to the broken, two-tiered criminal justice "system".

A walk through the bog

Today was time for a bit of soul recharging. It was still cold and windy, but at least the sun came out. So it was time for a walk through the bog at Beaver Lake Nature Center.

First stop is always feeder set up at the visitor center. Three species of woodpecker, nuthatch, titmice, chickadees, cardinals, American Goldfinch, even a Pine Siskin. Unfortunately I left the Bigma (Sigma 150-500) at home and only had my 18-135.
