Yesterday, Mlady and Dotty were sleeping peacefully on the couch (the mini-split blows directly on it) and they looked so cute I decided to snap a pic. Of course, Dotty woke up and said what’s the haps, my peep? Here’s an especially cute one of Mlady trying to charm me so I pet her. Could…

Doodads — micro and macro
The pics in this Doodads are from the last week. On Christmas Day older son and I took a walk around a lake that years ago was a mountainous dune. Somebody’s palms were greased and one f*cker has been allowed to mine all kinds of sand and polluted the groundwater while processing the sand for…
