When we were driving late one night through the high desert we encountered what my daughter nicknamed kamikazi kangaroo rats. We would just catch a glimpse of them on the side of the road before they hopped , no streaked, across the road in front of us. I was frazzled trying not to hit the cute little boogers and…
I’ve seen those stoner eyes a gazillion times, but never on a marine mammal.
My husband and I both love animals, especially elephants. My husband, knowing my life long dream has been to ride and befriend an elephant, said,”Feathers, you have to see this this little girl and her elephant friend. She’s living your childhood dream.” I am embarrassed to say that if I could reach into the screen…
These are from the same culture, if discovered at different times and in different sites. I love the simplcity the forms and the cleanliness of lines. No extraneous decorations, just a smooth matte stone surface. I bet they were great to hold in your hand, not too heavy, cool and smooth. I love the little sculptures.…
Frances Neely is a lucky woman. In a country wracked with the guilt of our slave holding nation’s past, after a very violent, public fight for the civil rights for Black and brown Americans, it is confounding that such people still exist. How do you live through the last 50 or 60 years and not have a keen sense of what…
I find the prevalence dystopian conspiracy theories and the increasingly shrill arguments of their adherents very troubling. It’s easy to laugh and make jokes about the tinfoil hat contingent. They seem innocuous enough, and they are easy to avoid if you find them otherwise. At least that had been my experience. Then …

I never thought when women finally gutted our way into power that the men would whine so much about having to share. Pathetic, really. Meanwhile the Acosta-Epstein brouhaha is one more example of why we need to get more…
Damn, I was freaked out when I got up today. You would think think the Dems had elected a cabal of female ISIS warriors disguised as candidates instead of some very inspiring young women. I am Jewish and I found nothing objectionable about Congresswoman Omar’s comment. My husband lobbied on Capitol Hill for 30 years…
January 16th -National Fig Newton Day
I miss the great gif contests/shares we had a few years ago in the Village. Always the heightof my week, seeing cute baby animals and scary marine creatures. Put up any good ones you’d like to share.
I can’t remember if I posted this or not. I finally got a job really liked last year after being out of work for almost 2 years following a repeated knee surgeries. A week or so ago kid rear ended me in rush hour traffic. I had just worked ten hours taking care of a very fragile 9 month old and was in a lot of pain…
Remember this?
And finally, a little late for Halloween, but we all love a good scare-
