One more time, for everyone in the back. They're 👏 not 👏 federal 👏 lands. 👏

I liked Georgia O’Keeffe’s art. Then I went on a docent tour at @okeeffemuseum. Now I love Georgia O’Keeffe’s art ... and the woman herself.

47°F here in Alaska! 😂 Feels good to be out of my shell. xitter.cf/joshuatreenps/status/9…

I don't think the environmental conditions that would support "our society" ever existed. But yeah, we need to change. xitter.cf/waltonwater/status/903…

Thank you, @CHPoakland, for bringing a smile to my face on what's otherwise been a bad. Friends, keep RTing & bring me more smiles! xitter.cf/chpoakland/status/9025…
This morning our officers stopped a doe for toll evasion, on the Bay Bridge. She said she usually pays it, but today she was a buck short.

Autocorrect just took my intended "nightmares" & made it into "night-ghasts". Apparently I've trained my phone in the ways of @neilhimself
