Amongst all of the great Primus songs, "Shake Hands With Beef" stands out. "Clasic" drummer Tim Alexander was gone. Bryan "Brain" Mantia stood in after, and helped write two albums with Les and Ler. His sound was different, but still iconic. youtu.be/JqKiH4UWrzk?...

Dear Friends, It's the Winter Solstice, the darkest night of the year. That means we're coming into a time of returning to the light and hope! So snuggle up with your loved ones tonight, light some candles and dream of longer days and the warmth of the sun. Peace, Love ~ Hope 🐾💙 #dogs

Here is a black and white photo I took of a forest crow flying over the sunset. A dip in the dark trees frames the towering clouds with soft leafy limbs. At the center, the sky yawns open with brightness, revealing the bird's body and curved wing silhouette in diffused sunlight. A taste of rain on the westerly breeze teased the moment with storm potential. I remember thinking: suns, planets, and moons play the eclipse game. Crows are no different. Little mischievous drops of midnight—loose upon our days. This new haiku is a fallen feather I picked up.

Good Wednesday friends. When I step outside this morning, the birds are singing, and the sun is attempting to melt some ice and snow. It's a gentle reminder that we can find good, beautiful things in daily life. I hope you have a beautiful day.
