Time flies when you're having fun. I blinked and just flew past 19,000 fabulous posts.

A little off-topic for the Lounge, I think. Something about what's his name's "family values"

Too lazy to create a graphic for the 19,000, so let's ask the internet:



Thank. you, Joe Isuzu!

Basically trying to take it easy after the early summer weed-whacking that Cal Fire requires 100 feet around the home, and it's all wild and most is steep. A handy-person showed up after I finished the job.

Mostly enjoying piano practice (there's still time to get good at it) and photography.

It's my slow season for photography, though I did photograph a King snake lying about. Given their diet mostly of rodents, that's a good luck sign in my book. They're non-venomous, by the way.

Thanks!

Playing music especially, though when Mother Nature puts on a show, years of photo experience kick in.

My Dad was an artist, so I am ever grateful to be able to enjoy "both sides of the brain"

Art and science.

It's a blast.

I too often use the phone to post stuff because the computer and monitor don't fit on the easy chair.
