Late Morning Thoughts 10-21-2024

 

That is, fifteen days from today until the General Election on November 5th (although we already both went and voted days ago,  almost the instant that early voting started here in Arizona, and we saw a lot of other real patriots there, too). 💝

Welcome (back?) to this obscure (very!) American blog on a beautiful sunny early Autumn day (here in the northern hemisphere). Freedom Turtle was very productive on his morning walk today, hunting and catching two (two!) grasshoppers on his own. I'm so proud of him! He's such a smart little creature, has personality for days, is SO cute and tiny and sweet to me - he lets me give him many kisses on his head and neck 😍🐢

Sunrise this morning was yet another sight to behold, just breathtaking, putting to shame all human attempts at art by comparison. Honestly, how anyone sentient can witness events like sunrises, sunsets, birth (of humans and all other species), waterfalls, the intricacy of patterns in every leaf on every tree on the entire planet... and still NOT believe in God? 😳

He opened my eyes, but for that to even be possible I had to have just enough of a truly open mind. Contempt prior to investigation is the polar opposite of intelligent - not to be mean, it just is. 

People (anyone, including me!) who throw around judgments based on feelings without exercising due diligence to do real research and bring receipts just sound like brainless morons when regurgitating echo-chamber talking points. 😏

And, if you're wondering what on earth possessed me to post that GIF of the late Shelley Duval in 'the Shining' - it was just random. 👍

Me, looking for ONE person with enough balls to leave a comment:
