Husband, father, photographer, avid (but not particularly adept) fisherman and outdoorsman, and approximately two drinks away from (angrily) screaming my Lefty Progressive Opinions from the rooftop.
The other night I took a gummy and was hanging with the family, having a great time. I remember someone said this line, but do not remember the context at all. But apparently I thought this was a profound enough thought that I sent it to my "Note to Self" on Signal. So today, I'm greeted by this
Mmm. Organic, touch of avocado, parasite free. Because we grew this ourselves, baby! Usually I make jokes to my wife about all the effort and time to save $4 on a bag of lettuce. But this year, I'm quite happy to have a garden full of fresh produce to avoid the Trump/RFK bug.
Want to interrupt the usual doom scroll with this: My oldest daughter is now a Michigan State University Graduate! Just in time for my youngest to start at the University of Michigan this fall. Truly a house divided against itself.
Yeah, AI is great. Let's let it run everything from banking to nukes. What could go wrong? Can't wait for the plagiarism machine bubble to burst.
The feed on my YouTubeTV messed up in the weirdest way at the most inconvenient time. Dude slipped into Czech all of the sudden. I had to rewind it to confirm I wasn't having a stroke.
I'd have had more, but I'm all caught up and can't only listen to the new ones unless I start relistening.
I used old pie crust from the freezer so it shrank and tore and generally turned out as a holiday appropriate chicken Franken-pot pie. It looks like he's begging for you to be his Angel of Death and release him from the pain. It tasted amazing though!
My youngest, getting her senior pictures done by dear old dad. Asked her if she wanted someone else to do them, but she insisted that I do it. Honestly, I'm glad. I did my oldest too, and they are both some of my favorite photos.
Classic moment, buttoning up the dress. I'm a sucker for moody light. #weddingphotography #wedding #portrait
Sometimes the groom wants to look pretty, too. #weddingphotography #wedding #portrait
Wish I could take credit for Mocha the Flower Girl's pose, but she did that on her own while I posed her mom. Turned out better than anything I was going to do. #weddingphotography #wedding #portrait
That's even worse, in my opinion. All they're going to hear is about how great he was and how he just wanted to reach the youth. They won't know all the other crap he was about.
Only had a cell phone camera for my remote camping trip up to Craig Lake, but I think it turned out pretty good nonetheless.
Even they're not immune to the AI trend, apparently. But I'll give them a try anyway.
Not mine, but someone off the fishing gear Reddit tried to order a new Shimano reel and... Reconsidered.
One of my new shirts I'll be wearing around my little farm town in mid Michigan this summer. It's fun to see confused faces.
Your sketch showed up on my feed next to this story. Unrelated, but somehow totally related.
Even then, only temporarily. Been seeing this poem from Sam Pink floating around the Internet for the last few days, for some reason. Feel like it's relevant.
