For ghost – “Sign Salad”
Uh-Oh – I Made An Unfunny Funny
on another site ... and I got cancelled. :)
A site maybe even less lefty than this one too.
All the squawk about this coming storm back east.
So I commented: "Y'all were bitching about Global Warming. Now you're bitching because it got solved."
And got banned.
Oh ... me bad ...
Well, She/He’s Sort Of Right
"Michelle Obama says world isn't ready for a female president"
At least not her ... or him as the case may be.

There's something else
I'm meant to do
before I spend
my time with you.
Complete myself
with no regret
for missing what
I don't have yet.
It's up to me,
reassembled,
edges smoothed
and chains untangled.
It isn't selfish
that I'm being.
The purge, the clean
allows my breathing.
So, let me be
for just a while.
Live your life
and let me smile.
The day will come,
not far away,
I'll offer free
my heart away.
Updates
I just installed some updates I'm not fully sure of. If you notice any problems, please let me know.

Wednesday
And Don Lemon's still running around free.
Do you think you'd still be free if you did what he did last Sunday?
Do you have that sneaky feeling you wouldn't have been free by Monday night if you did what he did last Sunday?
And probably arraigned by now? With large - if any - bail?
Oh, that poor misunderstood gay black man that everyone picks on.
Suffering from all the white privilege he's surrounded by.
Doesn't your heart just break thinking of how much he's been put upon?
No one's above the law - so they say - but it sure seems a bunch of people are outside it.
Update: Hm-m-m ... maybe. He's not big potatoes but he does have name recognition.
The Trump Justice Department charged Don Lemon and 7 others for storming Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
However, the magistrate judge rejected the charges against Don Lemon.
A Minnesota federal magistrate judge refused to sign a complaint charging independent journalist Don Lemon in connection with a protest inside a church in St. Paul on Sunday, multiple sources familiar with the proceedings told CBS News. Lemon admitted he was embedded with BLM activist Nekima Armstrong and the group of rabid protestors.
Interesting:
The magistrate in Minnesota who refused to sign off on an arrest warrant for Don Lemon is Douglas L. Micko and that his wife works as an Assistant Attorney General in Minnesota AG Keith Ellison’s office.
We ARE At War
with China.
But China isn't attacking us directly - so smiley face, so accommodating of trade.
But it is going after our major allies: Great Britain, Australia, now Canada.
Politicians are so easy to buy ... isn't that right, Swalwell?
And everybody's so freaky right now about Israel - good distraction.

Out in the Oregon wastelands between OR205 and US395 are the remnants of hardier people than of now that made a go of survival. Perhaps in their time, they were successful - this ruin certainly does not appear to have been a barely-hanging-on rancher's shack.
One wall - between the two parts of the house - looks to be stone; perhaps part of an original structure built as protection against Indians (1850s) or the harsh winds of winter. The shake shingles suggest construction before the advent of corrugated tin or asphalt roofing. The thickness of the window frame suggest thick walls. The portion to the left suggests a screen porch. The outhouse was on the other side of the tree - whose condition suggests plentiful water. The metal artifact low in the grass suggests 1920s.
The condition of the building and surrounding grounds suggests it might have been lived in as late as the 40s or 50s.
If I could remember where I was when I took this photo, I'd go back and see what has changed in the 20+ years since I was there last.
