"One day I changed a light bulb, crossed the road with a chicken, and then walked into a bar. It was at that moment I realized my entire day was a joke."

Mocking those who cause death, this is another fantastic summary of global news. It's often hilarious because those in charge are idiots.

If you can't enjoy some things along the way, the journey can seem a waste. This one isn't so since the window on the fun stuff may be closing it makes sense to enjoy while we can.

They're trying really hard to turn out all the lights. But we can make our own light. And will probably need to. Every little bit helps.

Personally, I try find a small joy in the day, like an outdoors coffee at dawn, or a beer whilst looking at people pass by. I'm more impressed by birds than I used to be.

Bird watching is awesome! But so.is coffee watching the sunrise. Or a beer while people watching.

And we're all entitled to those pleasures. Even in a rapidly decreasing sane or just world.

Let's not forget the smell of curry leaves :)

EUIs are a pesky problem. We haven't seen a collection quite like this in our lifetimes. The condiments have completely taken over!

Another pungent potpourri. Thank you.

Those French Foreign Legion posters are really low effort. Two whole posters on one concrete structure, that could be anywhere. One on a lamppost that could be (etc). But apparently it's Russki disinfo, their art skills being comparable to their prowess with deadly poisons that never actually kill anyone.

It's always difficult to know where the propaganda comes from. That there was no contact information was enough for me. But it's emblematic of the information war we are in - and a relentless one at that. The real story there was that people in that area are getting quite alarmed over all the goose stepping happening. Moldova has neutrality built in their constitution. They are just beginning to wake up to the reality that their government has been hijacked by the US, EU, and associates.

These little scenes often tell the story (in miniature) even without assigning any creative credit because it's all about the Awakening now. The level of crazy mental gyrations is about to go postal (as we call it in the States). But hopefully not lethal. It's the real Storm - psychological battering. We are all Moldovan, Iranian, Russian, American, and Ecuadorian now. Common occupants in a small boat adrift on an ocean of terrible information manipulation.

Thanks for coming by along on the ride!
