If you laid out all the school shooting victims in this country head to foot, the line of bodies would stretch from Washington to the offices of the NRA…

I’m sorry if that comes across as flippant.

Let’s filter a possum… part 3…

a 1

Oh yeah!

a 2

Filterin’ that possum!

a 9

I had so much fun with this that I may do the same thing to one more of the photos I took at my mom’s house of that cat food-stealing possum.

Just sayin’…

And fuck all the politicians who let the NRA lobbyists have so much power over our political system.

Let’s filter a possum… part 2…

a 1

Oh yeah… fire possum…

a 2

So, why am I filtering a possum?

a 3

Well, I had those pictures of a possum eating the cat’s food at my mom’s house.

a 4

And I have filters readily available.

a 5

And I am all art-side-of-the-brain.

a 6

And combing nature with digital magic is fun.

a 7

Also, I have crack squirrels living in my head… so…

a 9

Thank you, possum.

Eat shit and die… (or);Happy Valentines Day!!!

IMG_0983

One thing my wife got me for Valentines Day is this little plastic toilet filled with sour, purple candy. To eat it, you lick one of those two little plungers, and then plunge them into the candy dust. Then, you lick the candy off the little lollipop plungers…

My wife knows me so well.

Let’s filter a possum… part 1…

a 1

I thought, just for fun, that we could run one of those possum photos I took at my mom’s house through some digital filters.

a 2

I am just doing this to remind you that there is a website where you can do this stuff to any photo… of any person, place or thing… and it will give you some awesome art to use on your blog.

a 3

It is easy, and it is free.

a 4

Oh yeah… a Van Gogh possum!

a 5

I can walk you through the steps if you want me to.

a 6

If you are ever with a small child, and they are bored, upload a photo of them into this program, and do some digital magic. It will amaze and delight them.

a 7

Gee, Mr. possum, why are you so negative?

a 9

I did all that, in like five minutes, from that photo I took. And I have some more coming.

There is no way Trump could have picked so many evil, corrupt people to work with him just by accident or coincidence…

a 1

So think about it. Either he is purposefully picking evil, corrupt people in order to achieve evil, corrupt goals, or he is trying to damage the United States. There is no other explanation.

Nocturnal visitors… part 2…

a 1

Okay, these are the last photos from my mom’s house in the Bay Area.

a 2

Because I grew up across the bay from San Francisco, I had the benefits of living in a small town, but I had access to all the culture, art, music and food of the big city. We also had more than our fair share of first-hand encounters with nature.

a 3

In fact, we still do. There are deer, and wild turkeys roaming the streets. And we have nightly visits from cat food-stealing varmints.

a 4

You gotta love nature… and animals.

a 5

Especially when they are right outside your window, and you don’t even have to get up from the dining room table, where you are editing the fourth novel in your action/humor science fiction series.

a 6

I love the nocturnal visitors.

a 7

I also love being able to take pictures of the sunset from the front deck…

a 8

But I do not like the telephone wires.

a 9

The mortal enemy of the photographer.

Nocturnal visitors… part 1…(or): Wow, that is one ugly cat…

a 1

Well, I am back in San Diego after three days at my mom’s house in the San Francisco Bay Area. I did a lot of the final editing on my latest novel, but I didn’t have any adventures… no pictures of San Francisco, or the bay.

a 2

I did manage, without even leaving her house, to get a few photos of some sunsets, and a few cat food thieves. And those photos of flowers that I already shared.

a 3

Hey, I did the best I could.

a 4

And tomorrow, I am starting a new adventure.

a 5

I will keep you filled in.

a 6

Did you even notice that one of those photos was not of a possum? Or that the last photo was taken on the front deck, and not in the back garden, and is on a totally different table? HA!

Let Trump have his military parade… as long as he throws in a gay pride parade, a black lives matter march, a woman’s march, and all the Dreamers…

a 1

It wouldn’t hurt to add every homeless veteran in the United States, everyone Trump ever screwed in a business deal, and at least 500 taco trucks. We could just mix them all together with the military units. I would watch that parade. I’m not sure Trump would.
