My bots seem to have departed the pattern but I thought I’d share one more old post from when I first started on WordPress.
This one has to do with blogging itself and contains a little River history.
.

The blogging life.

The last rerun.

The temperatures are dropping in Maine and our backyard visitors are feeling it.
.
.
They’re also probably feeling like they’re being watched…
.
.
Because they are.
Quite regularly.
.
.
I saw this and thought, damn. Our raccoons are total slackers.
.
.
Seriously, all ours do is eat and poo… and occasionally knock over the bird bath.
.
.
We don’t have kids, so I’d better get to work on our trash pandas.
.
.
Sunrise…
With cat.
.
.
Squirrel, defying gravity.
.
.
Yes, you.
.
.
Our one little opossum, who only shows up at night.
.
Let’s play.
.
You may have to think, but hopefully that won’t hurt.

A friend of mine just saw Stevie Nicks in concert at TD Garden in Boston. 77 years old and from the videos she showed me, Stevie still brings it.
Older, yes. Slower, no doubt. But the spirit is still strong.

My goosebumps song is Crystal .
And thanks to WordPress’s annoying new feature of not being able to embed videos, here’s a link.

If you like Stevie, what song does it for you?
.
Squirrel central.
.
We’ve had a banner crop of grey squirrels this year.
.
.
I know people hate them because they eat the bird seed, but I love watching their acrobatics.
,
.
And they can shimmy up a pole faster than any stripper.
.
.
Our guys are well fed.
.
.
And don’t even bother burying anything for winter.
.

What I’m watching.
.
My husband falls asleep during every episode…
.
.
But I never miss a Ken Burns documentary. And while this one is epic in many ways, I have to admit there are a few too many battle sequences and not enough gripping personal stories to keep viewers riveted. His Civil War masterpiece set the bar very high.
.
.
There was so much buzz about this movie I had to watch. Unfortunately that was two hours of my life I’ll never get back.
It was horrible. Hard pass.
And just when I thought that was the worst movie I could find…
.
.
Holy hell.
I read the buzz about this being a treatise on beauty and the fight against aging so I was not expecting the stupidest, most ridiculous, literally laughable turn this one took. Hollywood really has lost its mind.
Thankfully some of my favorite series have returned to save the day.
.
.
The Mayor has his hands full this season with a brother on the wrong side of the bars and a crooked warden running the prison. This show is raw, violent and often times hard to watch… but I’m here for it.
.
.
The Morning Show has been a consistently superior program and this season does not disappoint. Well cast, well acted…. there’s never a dull moment.
.
.
Landman rocks. I never thought I would be the least bit interested in the down and dirty world of oil production but this powerhouse show makes you sit up and pay attention. Season one was amazing, but this year they added Sam Elliot and Andy Garcia.
Need I say more?
.
.
Never having been a Stallone fan, I was surprised how much I liked Tulsa King when it first started. But I have to admit the new season is leaving me a bit cold. I can’t really explain why, it just seems a little off and rapidly approaching campy.
.
.
My husband stumbled on this sweet, feel good movie the other day. Based on a true story, if you’re an animal lover?
You’ll smile… and cry. I guarantee it.
.
Random
.
If you’re a squirrel on our property, you may feel like you’re being watched.
And if it’s not me with a camera?
It’s His Lordship.
.
.
Who keeps a close eye on the visitors.
.
.
May it rest in peace.
I loved MTV back in the day and spent many happy hours singing along with videos as I ironed my husband’s Marine Corps uniforms.
The end of an era, that.
.
.
I always know when the bird feeders are running low.
.
.
The avian protesters are noisy.
.
.
Yes.
That’s why I do it.
.
.
Husband photographing a sunrise.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten wondering why.
.
.
Damn it.
Now I’m going to have start counting corn.
.
News you can’t use.
.
Because there’s always room for a little more crazy.
.
.
Well that can’t be good.
.
.
I try not to post poo related headlines, but some of them simply can’t be ignored.
This particular bathroom hack? Blow bubbles while on the throne.
.
.
You heard it here first.
.
.
Lord Dudley Mountcatten feels the same way.
.
.
When AI reaches the singularity, I doubt it will care.
.
.
Sorry Texas.
You had a good run.
.
.
The man had a micro penis.
That explains everything.
.
Rerun, because it’s better than redrum.
.
Traipsing through my old posts when the bots did, I saw this one inspired by friends who gave me a very appropriate t shirt.
Fun… and slightly educational. If you’re a trivia buff that is.
I still have the shirt, though it’s pretty ratty now and only worn when gardening.

Maps.
.
Because they’re fun.
.
.
Maine has a craft brewery on every corner, it’s serious business up here so it always astounds me that Vermont outranks us. We’ve driven literal hours there and not seen one.
.
.
Damn, Texas.
There are other stores…
🥴
.
.
How southern are you?
.
.
I thought Maine would rank higher but I get it…we’re expensive, not to mention cold.
.
.
I take umbrage with this one.
We aren’t rude, We’re New Englanders who just take time to thaw.
.
.
I’ll take autumn leaves, Stephen King and seafood any day.
😉
.
Let’s play.
.
An after Thanksgiving question because we’re all still stuffed full of turkey.
.
.
I don’t consider myself much of a baker, but my number is 16 …. which ironically, is exactly half.
How big a sweet tooth do you have?

River's world.....
