Just trying to stay interested & interesting & sane in this #upsidedown with my boy and our #BFFF 🐾 #BFKPP

#WallsOnWednesday #StreetArt #Southampton I don't know if it was a Wednesday but we did as the plaque said. #Lyngo tried to do it weirdly 🤪 #joactroolOT 13 August 2024
@cbannister.bsky.social inspired my choice for today's #AlphabetChallenge #WeekEforEphemeral #Ephemeral raindrops look like Champagne bubbles as they splash up from a small table outside our front window on a rare rainy day. A birdbath and a colorful whirligig can be seen in the background. 💦🥂
Here's some cool #music for August @billjonesjr.bsky.social! Hoagy Carmichael's #Stardust presented to us by Bluesky's own @tristanbouchard.bsky.social 😎 🎹 💫
Half way through the week-- hang in there! Maybe grab some coffee and chill out to some jazz standards before hitting the news. Join me every day here on Bluesky for more music 🎹 Stardust - Hoagy Carmichael ✨
Before everyone runs screaming after #KatieHobbs because of a #NYT article (& others) on who will be Lt. Gov of #Arizona when she wins? Read this one. It's from '24 but it says more about who #JohnGiles is than does bezos' rag. I'm okay with Katie maybe picking him. www.yahoo.com/news/mesa-ma...
Mesa Mayor John Giles didn't stop at bashing Trump and endorsing Harris. What he's said
Mesa Mayor John Giles denounced Donald Trump and endorsed Kamala Harris, but he didn't stop there. He's made rounds of news talk shows to elaborate.

🚨 #TUCSON 🚨 #NoDataCenters in our #desert!
Tucson Council meeting Wed 8/5, 5:30pm! The docs from the planning process are here: bit.ly/cot-dc-zoning. Most relevant are Ordinance 12268, (what they'll vote on), and Attachment G, the map which shows us where it'll be possible for developers to apply for with the new regulations in place.
I was on the scene that day and watched people flag police down to talk to someone walking away from the fire. My law enforcement sources confirmed to me this evening my description of the person I saw was consistent with the suspect. Here’s the story so far: www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

I find that it's getting harder to find current, interesting, useful, joyful things to read here. So, I am going to the timelines of everyone who actually listens to me and re-learning who everyone is! It's amazing and so much fun to see where we were then and how we are now. 🔎🕵️🔍
".....the first week of August is motionless, and hot. ......Often at night there is lightning, but it quivers all alone." A perfect description of tonight at my home 🏡 🏜️ Good night. Sleep well.
Dog Days are here
Whoa! Lightening strikes! We have been watching the #Monsoon26 rains pummel Chocise and Graham counties. Let's get some of that rain up here in Pima! 🌩️🤞🌧️

Attention Alphabetters! This is your reminder that Mon 3 Aug starts Week E and the #AlphabetChallenge is Ephemeral. So things that exist very briefly like sunsets and butterflies, or one-off things like tickets, greetings cards etc. Sounds harder than it is! E is tough😂 Use the # below and have fun!
What a difference a day makes 😥
So much changes in a day. I wrote this just before the fire, and it shares the sleepy beauty of our Spokane area. This morning I’m making pancakes for an evacuated family. Thank you for your concern and good wishes 💜 We appreciate the love. #TheSundayPost #Spokane goodport.blog/2026/08/02/f...
Thank you, BG. #Tucson Thank you to the folks who continue to #protest this travesty being built in our #desert. NO thanks to elected officials especially @pimacounty-d1.bsky.social that allowed it to happen and who still defend it. 😡 #NoDataCenters in the desert or anywhere else.
This evening, near a plot of land which was once pristine desert, which now features a double border wall and a shit-ton of cameras, a buncha people braved the 105° heat to protest project. #tucson #drone #protest
"Oh, lucky day!" 🧒🫛🌽 #SimplePleasures #TheOutpost
The reason to grow food at home is not really to be self sufficient or even to save a bit of money (I would fail on both counts I suspect), but to hear your five year old shout ‘oh lucky day’ because you’ve picked a bag of green beans, or have them cheer because it’s sweetcorn season.
This is the latest, credible, local report I could find on the wildfires that are occurring in #Spokane #Washington. We continue to pray that the wind driving these fires calms and that all in their paths are safe.

We were just in #Spokane for a family event. 😞 Friends who live in Nine Mile Falls are on vacation in Western Washington or they would be evacuating. This fire season in devastating.
#BlueSkyArtShow #Big A big damn replica of a #Moose can seen at the Moosejaw visitor's center in Saskatchewan Canada. It stands next to a #Snowbird jet. We saw both back in the summer of 2016. #joactroolRV www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/listings/308... (I don't remember the facade of this center 🙃)
We're home and you know that means. Settling in and recovery 🙂 I just fed the Hummers, filled the birdbaths and swept the porch. Here's a little reel of the last few days of what I am calling #joactroolTheLastRoadTrip Warning - These photos are from Lyngo's phone. I have more on mine! 🤪
