Another Auld Lang Syne

met my old lover at the grocery store

the snow was falling Christmas Eve

Find the cat in the picture and you win a prize!!

Christmas is over...I hope yours was filled with comfort and joy..mine was filled with Southern Comfort and Madame Joy, the chick who lives next door...haha

Seriously, 2022 was a strange year and 2023 is almost here. I don't expect too many changes but with all the rain Spring will be beautiful and blooming...right now it's Winter and that's just fine with me...

Politically speaking, I've never seen the Republicans weaker or stupider..they are all running around like headless chickens with zero leadership and that's too bad...We need a strong GOP to counter some of the foolish actions by the Democrats..but as long as the Trump/MAGA clowns are wasting everybody's time, the Republicans are just flotsam...

I would like to see this fixation on sexuality end and the answers can be found in biology and psychology, not the bible...kids go through stages, so let them without forcing puberty blockers or other drugs to affirm their gender...if you bust in on your kid and he's wearing a bra, don't panic...it's just a stage I went, I mean some kids go through..

Locally, we need to stop all these MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR bike paths/dog paths from being built, esp in green areas and wildlife and bird corridors because it is insane to replace plants and birds and rocks and things with tons of cement and purple rebar... Pretty soon we won't have any dirt left...

So, stop dragging your knuckles and let's get the show on the road!

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I Never Will Marry

I'll be no man's wife

I expect to live single

All the days of my life

This chick is like Tootsie!!

Father Time vs Mother Nature

I love this weather!!! it's all Christmasy!

so I see Noozhawk changed its format to look like the Independent and the News-Press...y'ever notice that all white people look alike??

and I'm continuing to watch the bike path mess on Carp Ave and can't understand the over-engineering...it's crazy!

bike path of destruction

Happy Trails to You!!

However, horses must also be allowed on the "multi-purpose" path otherwise it's no deal!! Do we understand each other??

East of Eden

Ice plant is good ground cover, doesn't need an irrigation system, is not invasive and provides beautiful flowers in spring for the bees and butterflies..

With these observations in mind, the City of Santa Barbara will kill off ice plant at East Beach that's been there forever, by covering it with plastic...another crazy scheme cooked up by the nativists...so they will plant natives, install an irrigation system, and cordon off the area with a fence...BUT, they will keep the ice plant roots for soil stabilization, which is why it was planted in the first place!!!

Natives and non-natives are beautiful

Why would they do this?? well, taxpayer money is there for the wasting so why not waste it on this stupid project?

there's plenty of non-natives like dandelions that actually fertilize the grasses but sure as shootin' someone will kill it with Round-Up...

madness

You Light Up My Life

you give me hope to carry on

if you're gonna dress up like a lady, at least shave your legs!!! geez

Trump is running for president again altho I don't know why...the guy's got way too many personality disorders!

well, there's this great big beautiful tree you can see from the highway but I think it's a shame not to light it up for the Christmas season...I think it would be cool...the travelers could see it instead of walls and miles of concrete...add some spirit to the silent nights of December...

the Cooper's hawks have been busy in the hood and I see one has a band on its leg...a breeder or perhaps a "highly trained researcher" did it but I wish they would stop attaching things to wild animals...

WTF?? 

why are we building 8-million-dollar bike paths for these clowns??
