Stolen/borrowed from Eddie Gangland's Instagram (amazing artist, check him out). I feel this... I'm blessed to have so many wonderful people who show me this every day. (Also, I'm from Missouri - the Show Me state)

Good morning, World! The most astonishing thing happened to me this morning on my walk. A Red-shouldered Hawk flew right by me, so close I could almost reach out and touch him. And he was holding a snake in his talons!!! Just dangling down.

For those of you who are interested: No, I never found the Pork Soda CD. Yes, I did take field trip to the record store. No, they didn't have this record in stock. As a matter of fact, they had just sold the only copy the other day. Yes, I ordered a copy. It should arrive early next week.

I've spent most of the day adulting. I deserve some cake and possibly ice cream, too. Also, I can't find my Primus album (Pork Soda) or Godley and Creme (Ismism)!!! Where ARE they?

So damn PROUD of my nephew Pioneer Winter. He was profiled in the NYTIMES! I love his philosophy of Every Body Dances. I take it to heart and dance whenever I can, even though I have no talent. 😜 After all the trauma and rejection my body has suffered these last 2 years, this is welcome.
