No, I swear, it's true. Couldn't be more true. Jeff and I communicate more frequently, more personally, and just MORE than I communicate with any other human on this Covid confined planet.I can't just punch a delete button on my keyboard and wipe my order and return history out of my life like I can with my Google browsing history. So I have left a telling, shamefu...

The Circle of Life with Scarlet and Rhett v. Bonnie and Clyde

Weekly Contest #135

(Violence trigger if Mother Nature can be accused of such in the animal kingdom)With an ominous thwack and a sloshy swish, the Florida 'gator crushes the unwitting flamingo in its strong hinged jaws, dragging it deep under the murky water. In the age-old dance, the flamingo struggles, thrashing wildly about, aiming its sharp talons at an impervious hide, shrieking into the deafening air.
