Good morning Free Rangers.
Well I'm back from Lost Wages a bit lighter on coinage. Well, a little more than a bit. While I only lost $18 at the one armed bandits, we spent a lot on shows and entertainment.
We went to the Tournament of Kings show and had dinner sans utensils (we be Dragons) and the next night saw the show WOW, which was a good time.

It's difficult to keep up to date in the rapid news cycle these days....from assassination to withdrawals, congress cheering for genocide, Yemen and Israel trading attacks, the EU preventing peace in Ukraine as Ukraine targets EU members, Hungry and Slovakia... while China is uniting the Palestinians, and Russia is working toward peace between Syria and Türkiye. Whatta world. Round and round, faster and faster...

Afternoon folks!

There's some great ear-treats this week. Starting off, there's an album from Albert King and an album with 60's era Chicago blues recordings of James Cotton, Otis Rush and Homesick James. From there, you can boogie with Canned Heat, rock with the MC5 and then mellow out a bit with Bonnie Raitt. Coming into the home stretch, there's a Jorma Kaukonen album of country bluesish tunes and finishing up in the diversity department, there's an album by German prog-rockers Triumvirat.

Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!

Good morning! I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend unfolding!

Yesterday was deer day. As soon as I got home from work, I saw a buck slowly galloping alongside my yard fence. He didn't speed up because of me. He was the one that stared me down last week. A few hours later, we spied a doe and her fawn had joined him. Our first sighting of the fawn.

Now, I love deer. And elk, antelope, etc., not for food, but for viewing pleasure. Nevertheless, if Mr. Gates et. al., kill off farting cows to save the climate, will we turn toward eating Bambi?

All at once, I had an anxiety attack. Do deer fart? See for yourself.
