It’s Wednesday. I was outside reading in the sun yesterday when a tiny baby robin landed on my shoe. He let out a few chirps, looked me in the eye and fluttered up into my lap. Again, a few more chirps and then he bounced up to my forearm. He sat there for what seemed like forever just looking at me. And then he flew off into the bushes where he met up with his anxious mom. Strange little guy.

Twitter has placed a fact-checking warning on a tweet issued by President Trump in which he claims without evidence that mail-in ballots are fraudulent. Of course, Trump responded by accusing Twitter of stifling free speech. (About time, eh!)

How does some midweek amateur goodness sound for today? Enjoy!

It’s Tuesday. I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day. I spent the afternoon enjoying some good eats with a small group of family. The weather was good until some rain came through, but we were out on a deck with one of those extendable awnings, so a little rain wasn’t a problem. Ate more than I probably should have but when you get your hands on a burger fresh off the grill, what do ya expect?

With Memorial Day now behind us, I suppose that means it’s unofficially Summer now. Surprisingly the thermometer has been trending upward over the past several days around here. In fact, it was so nice on Sunday that I called Allstate to switch the insurance on the Vette from storage to active. We took it out for a spin all afternoon under a beautiful blue sky. After a long cold winter and considering all the shit that’s been going down over the past several months, I can’t tell you how good it felt to get out in that thing! Fuel for the soul, my friends.

It’s Monday. I’ll be heading over to my parents place on this Memorial Day for some beer, burgers, and hotdogs. It will be a small group of just a couple of family members so everyone can maintain some distance. Hopefully the weather will cooperate so we can enjoy the day out on the deck.

Enjoy the holiday but don’t forget about the men and women who died protecting the freedoms that we all enjoy. On this day we honor and remember their sacrifice.
