Dear women who live in states where they took away your right to choose…

Simple answer: move to California. No, your home sate will be fine without you, because it is just crammed full of Alpha males. They can get along without you, and they obviously don’t appreciate your contribution enough to value your opinions.

California has beaches, mountains, deserts, and good wine. It will not be a sacrifice. You can even move to a “red” part of the state, to be surrounded by the good memories you left behind.

Dear MAGA “Alpha” males; a simple test to see if you are really as “Alpha” as you think you are…

Step one- Invite all your male friends to your favorite bar/strip club.

Step two- Get your friends good and drunk.

Step three- Announce, with all the manly alpha-maleness that you can muster: “I am voting for Kamala Harris”,

Now, one of two things will happen.

Thing one- your friends all look at each other, and without much thought or discussion, they all agree that that is the right thing to do.

Congratulations! You are an actual Alpha male. (You do not actually need to vote that way, but it would prove you are an Alpha male that does not follow the pack, but leads it, and nobody tells you what to do, and you will make your own decisions. And you will help save the country, too).

Thing 2- Your friends either laugh at you, leave, both, or else take you outside and kick your ass around the parking lot, and then leave… while they all laugh.

Now, if you do get ‘number two’d’ on, and I hate to be the one to point this out, but you aren’t an Alpha anything. One of you drunken friends is. You are number 2… at best… if you will pardon a bad pun.

Any real “Alpha male” would take this challenge. They are not afraid to do their own thing. This is also an easy way to tell if you are any sort of Alpha.

I finished some more paintings…

I call that one ‘Spring’.

It’s a sunset.

And another sunset…

But they are a matched pair. You can hang them together for a really big painting, or hang them on their own. Or put the top one above the lower one, but leave a separation.

Well, I am still trying to save space on this blog by not posting as many pictures as I used to, because, as I have said, I am out of space, and I only have two options; I can delete old photos as I post new ones, which destroys the idea of this being a history of my life and art that will live on after me, or I can give our hosting overlords a lot more money, continually, and I am not prepared to do that, thank you very much… so here are two carefully selected pictures of the many I still have from my road trip along the West Coast…

I am proud of that shot. That is a nice wildlife study.

Those guys are not sharing a good laugh. They are about to battle it out.

A series of acrylic and watercolor paintings that I did in just five days so that I could mail them to my daughter Mollie for her upcoming Halloween party with her fancy new emergency room nurse and doctor friends…

I think maybe Zombie Yoda will be as popular as my Christmas ninja!

I call that one ‘Witch Fire”.

That was going to be the spirit of a peaceful wave, but I added a tiny city poised for annihilation. You know, to be more Halloweenie.

Bad Shark.

Shocking.

I threw in a closeup just for fun.

Uh… I don’t actually have a name for that one. Suggestions?

We went to Disneyland, and all I got was this stupid hat… wait… what???

Yeah, Club 33 is real.

You are either very jealous right now, or have no idea what Club 33 is. There will be more info soon.

But I am still trying to tell about my recent adventure from the far end of California to the far side of Oregon.

I went up to see the kids, but I saw a lot of other stuff as well.

I saw otters again.

And elk!

I met a rather large, rather famous pair.

And I still have so many pictures.

Speaking of pictures, this acrylic painting is now finished. If art ever really is finished.

I added a little druid making spring begin with a magic lantern.

So, there is a lot going on, and this is going to get confusing… even for me…

I am calling these two acrylic paintings done!

But I am also still sharing the photos of my trip to Oregon.

So, more pictures of Crater Lake.

So, see you around, I hope.

Ummmm…

Some men mansplain to women because they assume women aren’t as smart as them. I mansplain things to other men, because I know most of them are not as smart as me…

There and back again, (from San Diego to the other side of Oregon)… a human’s journey…

I drove up to see the kids. It was a heck of a road trip.

All kinds of weather, all kinds of animals. All kinds of adventure.

Oh, but need I remind you that I have filled up my blog-memory, and I now have to go back and delete old photos in order to put new ones in? Or else pay a huge monthly fee to get more memory.

So, I still don’t know what I am going to do in the long run.
