Google maps kept sending people on a mystery road to get to our house. The farmer must have torn down the road sign (intentional or not). I finally found the road though.

If not calling his gawdy decorating style a dictator-inspired Cheescake Factory is Trump's single criterion for a not "lousy" president, then it it explains a lot of misattributions in his regime.

Old corn crib. It is hard to believe that there was a point in time when filling the sides and loft of this relatively small building once or twice with on-cob corn was enough to sustain a farm and family.

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a BS thing. However, TDS by Proxy is happening to a lot of literate children of MAGA parents as we live and breathe.

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

With a low sunrise behind me, the little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) sticks out. A storm damaged shingle oak (Quercus imbiriacaria) holds on. #goldenhour

Even with his hand held out to the camera like he is trying to make a fish look bigger, his hands still look small.
