Apologized to my coffee for what it's up against this morning.

Between the trees.

@RickiTarr If only funds spent on deterring the homeless and treating them as criminals were spent on fighting the causes of homelessness instead.

Although it can often feel like talking to ourselves, posting on social media can be like thinking out loud, an opportunity to sort out thoughts, feelings;
To vent about things we have little control over;
And by expressing them here, they lose power over us and we better understand ourselves.

Anyway, good talk.

Inside you there are two wolves, and outside, another wolf skulking around making everyone near you uncomfortable.

I was getting a bit stressed about all the work that I have put off until I have very little time to get it done, so I went for a relaxing bike ride in the park.

He has "I'm taking my ball and going home" energy.

My wife is vacationing in Italy, enjoying the sites, all the good food and drink, and well.. I am not..
However, I am having Italian wine with my hotdog for dinner. 🍷

Boeing’s Starliner landed on Earth – without its astronauts.
No word on the condition of the entity that was making those weird noises from inside the capsule.

Honest.
Factual.

A blue whale's anus can stretch to 3.5 feet which makes it the second biggest ass hole on earth after that one guy we all know.

Of the approximately 10,000 people who I once followed on Twitter, I've only found a few of them here.

While I am glad to reconnect with a few friends, I do miss many others.

Thankfully I also continue to find many new people here with a wide range of interests, insights, contemplations and wit. Nice. 😊

Blessings.

Moments of lower pain and sufficient energy with mental capacity to get out there have been rare lately.

While I wasn't sure if I had enough or should push it a bit today, I'm glad that I did.
Did I use every bit of power assist on my ebike? Yes, that's why I have it. For days like today.

The reward was fresh air, perfect weather and quiet beautiful landscapes to enjoy.
Tomorrow I may not be so lucky, but that's another day. Today, I am blessed.

Yes, I know there's serious shit happening in the world..
Hell, even in my own life. It's a lot.

We all get that.

And if we share facetious contemplations, or lame humor in a feable attempt to break the constant stress and challenges of survival..
It doesn't mean that we don't care or that we're not trying or doing anything. We don't see everything.

@BeAware @partnumber2 thanks for believing that I will make it anywhere close to that age. Much appreciated. 😀

@BeAware @partnumber2 Haha.. wait, how old do you think that I am? 🤔
DB Cooper would be about 98 years old now. 😕

If we're not doing well, we can possibly hide it somewhat from our loved ones for a few days, maybe less when it stretches to several, but beyond that..?

We try to protect them, to give them reprieve from anxiety, fear and disruption. We don't want to burden them.
I suspect they know and hide that for our sake as well.

My wife is less than 2 weeks away from going on her bucket list vacation. This means everything to me.
I've been in emergency twice this past week.

Damn, this is hard.

"We sure needed this rain" the stranger suddenly says to me, using a traditional Canadian weather related greeting.

"NASA wants to dump the International Space Station into the ocean."

I'm no expert, but this doesn't seem like the best plan to get the astronauts home. 🤔
