I see these in the most obscure and unusual places, and in the places you'd expect them to be. I wonder how many there really are. #horses #sculpture #louisvilleKY

I was on a walk recently and stumbled upon a local car lot, where I saw these words etched into the metal bed of a work truck. Just struck me as something different you don't see every day, but you think of often. 🇺🇸 #freedom #ford #truck #walking #patriotism

I remember when this place opened back in the 80's. So strange to see only the outline of what it used to be. (No, just moved, that's all.) #acura #progress #movedon

Wow! I just read that a trip to the movies, which used to be a "date" night, and I would imagine still is, runs around $100. Gosh, and that does not include dinner, before or after. My, how times have changed since I was a boy! #movienight

Today, I reached out to my elected officials regarding the proposed military actions against Iran. Whatever our politics, the United States should stand for restraint, diplomacy, and respect for human life. I encourage others to contact their representatives and share their views.

🌳✨ The magnolia always feels like an old friend — sturdy, grounded, and quietly graceful. Its dark green leaves and bronze undersides catch the light in a way that makes me pause… and remember that beauty often hides in the details we rush past. #WritersLife #NatureInspires #SeasonalReflections
