Random Bits

I’ve been cleaning out my phone’s camera over the last few days. It’s amazing, to me anyway, how many failed pics of Cake I have. There were, maybe, 20 bazillion of him curled up on the blankets. Ya know what they all look like? A black hole in the midst of a sea of color. FYI, it’s nearly impossible to take a good, fast pic of black cats.

There were sweet illustrations sent to me by my sister Celeste.

I found a few nice shots of my dear, recently felled by HUGE winds tree. I guess, what with the big fungi and all, I should’ve known Ralph wasn’t long for this world.

There were comix that resonated from Poorly Drawn Lines, Jen Sorensen, and Pearls Before Swine. Also, one of my favorites by Mark Stivers.

I found a painting that looked like Trump as done by Cian McLoughlin or Francis Bacon, if he painted in bright colors. 

There were a bazillion memes. Some, not just amusing but helpful, with good advice.
