Ret. English/govt. educator. Lifetime Dem. Virginian born and raised. I've seen things. I know things. My loathing for the other party fuels me. We are losing time to leave a better world for future generations. I often write in complete sentences.

My daughter has a side job creating buttons for local businesses and non-profits. We worked on several for my local Democratic Committee. This is my original contribution. Don't you love it?

Current mood. I've had this pillow for a few years. Now that I am a RETIRED educator, I have zero fear of judgement and/or repercussions.

One of my close friends, an accomplished artist, took this photo of Humpback Bridge in Alleghany County during a recent snowstorm. The "Virginia Love Sign" is in the forefront.

A little snow day in the mountains of Virginia. They were much more exciting before I retired from teaching. 😊

My daughter bought a Victorian doll chaise for her cats at an estate auction. So far it's a hit. This is Lord Stevie laying claim.

Look at me being so damn happy just standing next to a cardboard figure of President Obama. This was at National Harbor across the Potomac from DC during his second term.

The Shenandoah Dems of VA posted this map showing the true breakdown of votes in the Virginia's governor election. People vote, not land. When a map shows a county as completely red or blue, some people are under the idiotic assumption that it is "winner takes all." This is how it should be done.

My father was a proud member of Antifa, enlisting in the Navy while in high school (underage, actually). He returned to high school as a married man with a baby son and was president of his senior class at the age of 21. His story parallels many of those of the "Greatest Generation."

“I don’t care if you love that tree out there.” Ms P--Thank you for instilling that everyone deserves to love and be loved. You are such a blessing in my life. This is a post from one of my former students who recently married her wife. Damn right this makes me proud. This is the actual tree.

My two favorite mothers ever in their prime at Panama City, Florida, in the early 1960s. My mother Dallas is on the right, and my aunt is on the left. They loved their children with all their hearts.

This is a road sign in a neighboring county. It's an assault on literacy. Embarrassing.

Please ask Marjorie Taylor Greene to ask the Democrat who controls the weather to make it stop. We're done here in the Virginia mountains.

My grandcats. Freddie as a kitten. Freddie now with his sibling Stevie (both named after music icons). They make me happy when I visit my daughter. I'll take happiness any way I can get it now.
