The Lomonds in a winter sunset

The Lomonds in a winter sunset

This is more of an occasional thinking/showoff space for me than it is a source of entertainment for others. If you want to interact or comment, then please do so, preferably in person.

It would be an understatement to say that I am hurt, ashamed and embarrassed by the rise of neo-fascism in the United States of America at present. I am doing what I can to discourage it and mitigate the danger to myself and my connections but I fear it may be too late for all that. I really do not want to talk about that but I will, if provoked. You have to find me first. You will no longer find me on Meta channels, or Mad Musk’s “social” media channels:

I’m thinking of getting off all the socials. I can’t remember why I’m here. I certainly feel I have nothing to contribute that doesn’t make me look and sound like Father Jack.

The joy of all this is greater time to read, to recover from recent surgery (be careful with that knife, Eugene), and to appreciate the very best that life has to give. I do sustain infrequent presence on some of the photo sites, and am dabbling with some of the newer channels. Links to those are at the bottom of the page if you want to say hello.

Thanks for dropping by.
