Mugs of whatever I poured in them

Mugs of whatever I poured in them

I did read quite a few blogs today, but no one is commenting on mine! Hmm... still wonder why as no one seems to want to share any insight. So... everything's normal. I remain clueless.



Easier to start with something non-controversial. Our local ice cream shop, Big Dipper, is two blocks away. I rarely indulge. Ice cream by the cone isn't cheap! So I just sat and observed.

"Big Dipper" 



I wasn't overly happy about some of my blog posts today. I'm usually not. I'm trying to limit my angst and anger to my opinion blog. I actually had to cut and paste between three blogs. I'm trying to keep them distinct... like it's not fun to pick up the sports page and see obits or funny cartoons next to stock market prices.... or is it? There were whole sections of the newpapers we never read growing up.



So... regarding "Death by association"  I'm not fond of "j'accuse" and finger pointing. We live in a society where we are presumed guilty by social media. Even court decisions to the contrary no longer matter.



And "Really sick of apologizing for telling the truth? "  which rants about some of the so-called Christians I've met. I can see why someone might be offended, but it's in my blog

where I tend to not hold back. Please don't read if you are sensitive to this issue. I do not want to hurt the few friends I've got.



I was thinking of hemorrhoids (real... my father had them too), blood (fresh red is better than black... black means you're bleeding internally), lost friendship (Ah, dear Kevin... friends for 24 years and basically dead to him for the last 16), horror films (I truthfully avoid them) and I had this prompt I didn't like; "You don't scare me" so I stirred it all up and wrote the following. It's rated 18+ for a reason.

Dimash Kudiabergen sings a new song that was written for him, "Ogni Pietra". Listen to the LOW notes; he goes high as well. I chose this version because the audio was clear. The commentary is in Portuguese but there's a button for subtiles in other languages. I chose norwegian just for fun.
