Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr Posted on July 23, 2021 by jilldennison Was there ever a day when my head wasn’t about to explode from all the injustice and lunacy that we live with on a continual basis? Was there ever a day when people just treated others right, when our government wasn’t being ripped apart by radicals? […]

Saturday Surprise — Pareidolia (?) Saturday Surprise — Pareidolia (?) Posted on July 24, 2021 by jilldennison under Bits ‘n Pieces, Environmental Issues, Humour, Saturday Surprise Okay, so it’s time for a Saturday Surprise post.

Now Is The Time … Maybe The Last Chance There was a time when I would have eschewed the very notion of socialism. A time I didn’t understand the evil that humans are capable of.

On Fire, Once Again … Just like last year and the year before, wildfires are raging out of control in the Western states such as California, Oregon, and to a lesser extent, Washington. One such in Oregon has been named the Bootleg Fire, presumably for the shape of the path of destruction it is leaving. By […]

I haven’t re-blogged TokyoSand’s weekly cartoon posts for the past couple of weeks because the ‘toons seemed just too dark. Not TS’ fault at all, but just a statement of the way things are these days … it’s hard to find humour in things some days. However, I found this week’s to be grin-worthy and […]
