Michigan Artist, Writer and Entrepreneur. I like blue.

I was just thinking about how my community, Albion, Michigan, was influenced by Dolly Parton with the Imagination Library. She made a difference here. I'll be writing about this and other Albion helpers soon. Thanks to stevenbeschloss.bsky.social. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Rediscovered after 40 years: Sunday at the Beach. Inspired by a beach in Paw Paw, Michigan, this pen-and-ink drawing is one of several I'm bringing back as note cards after rescanning old negatives. What Michigan beach does it remind you of?

I like this writer, Heather Cox Richardson (HCR). Today, she writes about LBJ and the "Great Society," during a period of growth in the US in 1964. The gist was that we might aspire to things that are not measured in the same way. I like this idea and how HCR describes it.

Who might run for president in 2028? I see some I know, some I don't like, and some I don't see yet. I bet there is a way to wager on these candidates' chances. to see the statistical chances that someone comes up with. Like polls. Just for fun, to look at only, of course.

There is no shortage of signs that likely 2028 presidential candidates are preparing to run. Here's an early look at those who have been floated as candidates, or who seem to be testing the waters. nyti.ms/4foCnOU

I'm going to try this. I like to look at various things during the day (when I take a break from working), including weather, stocks, and headlines. This might save me time so I could stand up and walk around more. Also, it's a way for non-techie people like me to get sitting work done faster.

I never heard of a dog-friendly bar, but this is a great post. And in my small city back in the day, I could ride my bike to go out to see my friends and have my dog hang out under the table just in case something fell. I think there might even be a Bible verse about that. I love the dog shown.

I was at a dog-friendly bar in NW Portland tonight and a table behind me started singing Happy Birthday and then I realized it wasn’t for a person but a really old dog who was wearing a crown and he was old and fucking adorable and I love this city

Photo I took of these wonderful people (the faces of whom I’ve blacked out) singing happy Birthday to their lovely old dog at a bar I was at tonight in Portland

This might be the most iconic image of the successful Artemis II landing. I want to reassure everyone that there was no giant cat; this is an actual photo, but taken out of context. Sometimes the media can selectively show information to reinforce its bias.

Now that they’re safe on the ground we.. ocean, I can make a joke OMG ARTEMIS IS IN TROUBLE WE’RE GETTING REPORTS OF A GIANT CAT BATTING THEM OUT OF THE SKY OH THE HUMANITY

This time-lapse of the Artemis II splashdown makes me feel like I was in the capsule, and also skipped the 6 minutes when there was no communication. Sometimes it's good to step back for a view from a distance.
