For the past few years, the last week of June has become one of my least favorite times of year, because that's when six guys announce that they're taking away more of our rights as Americans. Fricken' SCOTUS.

When I was a much younger dude, I worked in restaurants. Fifty years ago, the only meaning I ever heard ascribed to the term, "86," was that the kitchen was out of the salmon (or any menu offering,) so, make sure people don't order it. Also, "47" always referred to trash that had to be taken out.

Fairly sure it's a red-tailed hawk patrolling the skies today. Image © me. #bluesky #inmyblueworld

A red-tailed harm soars on a hunting trip, after screeching a few times to stir up prey. It's quite far away here, But much later in the day it landed on a branch very close to me. I didn't see these very often around her. Image © me. #nature #birds #hawk #newmexico

Something I seem to be saying a lot lately: "Sure, I'll volunteer for that."

Government derives its power only through the consent of the governed. "We The People" can and do make changes in our American scheme of things. It often takes great struggles to get us to a better, more just society. #democracy #laborday #movement Photo by me.

Demonstrators in New Mexico hold signs along a busy road in an event that expressed dissatisfaction with the current social and political climate.

When I was a kid, sometimes you couldn't see cities as you drive toward them, the pollution was so thick. #epa #planet

A lot of depth in the clouds tonight. Michaelangelo was brought to mind. #photographer #alwayslooking

The almost-full moon pokes through high clouds that whole a Renaissance feel.

Yesterday I realized, to my great horror, that there is no need of burning books these days.. Just take down tens of thousands of web pages. People don't read books anymore, and if they can't get good information instantly on their phones they merely ingest what is available.
