THIS seagull. Hopping on top of Each car in the lot. An avian valet! Cheeky for his size. Saying, “Hey! You’d better pay! With FRIES!”

Side-eye from a seagull—who’s standing on the top of a car in a parking lot—who really wants some French Fries. (Seagulls. THEY’RE JUST LIKE US!)

2. Cheese. A wheel of cheese with a wedge out of it against a galaxy backdrop, a bottle of wine on each side, one pouring out red. Two rats run across the bottom.
3. Ol' Money Bags. A plump man waist high in gold coins and gems holding a bejeweled cup, wearing a plain grey tunic and a tied red bag over his head with one eye hole cut out. In the back, skeletons are part of the scene.
4. The Very High Priestess. A woman in blue and white robes with a large joint in her lap, wearing a marijuana leaf necklace. Her head from the nose up is in a green cloud that takes up the top of the panel. She sits in a garden or mushrooms.

6. Pontiff's side piece. An attractive woman, showing a bit of leg and showing off her jewelry A peacock spreads its tail beside her.

On the beach next to us, a kid unpacked a soccer ball. Iridescent green. SHINY. And absolutely COVETED by the toddler behind us. Toddler’s mom had to remind him several times: “That’s not our ball.” Then toddler came up to me, pointed, and said: “Dat’s not my ball.” 😂❤️!

It’s silly that humans aren’t “supposed” to wear white after Labor Day. Arctic hares and such are all, 🐇: “I wear what I WANT!”

Great writing is bad writing plus time, plus the three raccoons who look into your window and see you drinking whisky and sobbing inconsolably over your bad manuscript, then after you pass out on the floor, they creep in and rewrite all your work.
