Downplay a book or movie: Moderate Fidelity

Book 203 of the 305 #GreatestBooks is Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. A fascinating look at the effect of war on a WWI soldier and its lingering effects through the generations. A slow start and some unlikable characters keeps this off my must read list though. dinojim.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-...

Happy #PieAndBeerDay, 18 years and running (ish)

All ICE involved with shooting, injuring, or covering up murders should be indicted and jailed for life.

My next #DrunkOnGeology is for the Argentinian #wine, Finca El Origen Reserva Malbec, which has a lovely illustration of an #ammonite on the bottle. #paleontology #geology More: www.drunkongeology.com/2026/07/drun...

Newest project is done (essentially)! The wine barrel I posted about before became our vanity and sink. The bathroom esthetic is for an Irish pub type feel. This connects to the Bill’s room so we had to mostly gut the bathroom while doing the floor. #diyproject

We are talking The Clone Wars - Young Jedi Arc, which includes Season 5 Episodes 6: The Gathering, 7: A Test of Strength, 8: Bound for Rescue, and 9: A Necessary Bond. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

My accomplishments of the year are summarized here. #connections #NYTimesPuzzles

You have one day left in June to help us support LGBTQ+ Youths. This is a fantastic organization and their goal to eliminate youth suicides is one that should be commended. Please help in any way that you can. give.thetrevorproject.org/team/830741

My next #DrunkOnGeology is for Eclipse red wine by Heron Hill Winery. An eclipse is when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are in perfect alignment and the moon either blocks the sun (solar eclipse) or the shadow of the Earth falls on the moon (lunar eclipse). More: www.drunkongeology.com/2026/06/drun...

Help us hit our goal of supporting LGBTQ+ youths and eliminating suicides among this vulnerable community! give.thetrevorproject.org/team/830741

Book #202 of my #305GreatestBooks list is The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett. While I was fascinated and enthralled with the cathedral building in the story, this book also epitomizes why I’ve been preferring books written by women. The few women in this book are either sidelined or …

I’d vote for AOC in a heartbeat. Every time I’ve heard her speak I’ve become more convinced she’d be a perfect president.

Briahna Joy Gray: "I know many, you know, people on the left who would happily vote for Tucker Carlson before AOC. I'm frustrated by that dynamic because I, you know, I don't want Tucker Carlson to be President, I also can't see myself damaging my own credibility by telling someone to vote for AOC."

My next #Geology of the #NationalParks is for Effigy Mounds NM, located on the Lower Ordovician Prairie du Chien Group, a resistant dolomite/sandstone formation that, due to its erosion resistance, forms a flood safe plateau high above the Mississippi River. www.thegeologypage.com/2026/05/geol...

And the shelving unit is complete (and painted by the wonderful wife).

After wondering for years, I have finally been able to find the fossil bed that I assumed ran though my backyard. This is what is being called a “reef” in other localities with a ton of fantastic Devonian corals. #paleontology
