Would it be totally biased for a Colorado guy to add “The hottest guys vote early in Colorado” ? I’m not really looking for attaboys but I am suggesting a wider definition of a hot guy. Everybody’s needed to help row our boat.

A few weeks ago we stayed at our friend's #mountain #cabin. We enjoyed this #cozy seating area that was near the #wood #stove. There was a #3rdPlace to sit, a futon sofa that's off-camera. #BlueSkyArtShow

This #Hawk's mate was injured by a larger #bird in our back yard a few minutes ago. The injured bird was clinging to a sheltered part of our eaves, with a wing that looked askew. The mate stayed right there. About 20 minutes later they were both gone. They were #Cooper's or #SharpShinned Hawks.

Yes, some ugly parts about some very hard times and very hard people in Ireland during the great famine. But the ending takes your heart away. I shouted so loud when I got to the end my wife asked if I was okay.

There is something ‘old school delicious’ about slowly unscrewing the top of a fountain pen while another person watches you.

Okay that’s one idea. Another idea is to replace all hotel Bibles with “Karma Sutra 100 Sensual Positions Illustrated Manuals”

I get how you would feel this- maybe you got shit on your to-do list done. Maybe the Pulitzer Prize committee failed to contact you again. Maybe your partner forgot to worship the ground you walk on. BUT IMHO all of us do lots more than we know. Fire up a doobie and enjoy your Friday night Ande.

EXACT same expression, hair and head pose as your post three days ago: “I always favor the blue raspberry” so is it possible you accidentally turned into an AI meme? Worried about you…
