Good morning Mastodonians! Now that the local AQI has tumbled to just a moderately nasty 78, blue sky's appeared and fun may be had.

I finally had a good night's sleep after several days of not having enough hours. If you live in the north of the United States, hang in there and wear masks when you go out so you don't breathe in all the air from the fire. Take care out there! Here is your #morning #mantra
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this gift to help everyone I can.
#photography for #today is a #sunset yesterday.

Good morning, friends. 💮💮💮
When I was young, I did things that I regret, I think we all do. But they become part of who we are none the less. As I grew older, matured, if you like, my values formed, part from those regrets. Important values became the ground that I stand on today. Honesty and integrity are of the utmost importance, I don't mean absolute honesty, white lies to spare somebody's feelings are acceptable. Honesty of course is a part of integrity. I say be honest, truthful, and act honorably. That is the person I try to be, and I expect others to be that way as well. I'm often disappointed.
“They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks, I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience.” - Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Good #morning, fridays and fridears!
Yeah, I'm up. I'mma need a moment to get me going though.
Also, the cat wants food, and we all know how she gets.
After that, I'll get groceries.


#morning all, I awake bright tailed & bushy eyed!
Although I have still got this terrible pain in all the diodes down my left hand side! #DouglasAdams #HitchHikersGuide .
Tell me my peeps, was the whole planet burning, return of the Sith threatening an impending WWiii , penniless Brexit apocalypse, just a figment of a shredded mind, taken to the brink by an ill advised mix of medication & triple fried chips ?
Good #morning, lunatics and lunatettes!
And good riddance! May he return to the place he spawned from.

Good morning. 🌙🌙🌙
It has rained every day for about three days. My grass is looking really green this morning. The electricity went out for a few hours last night. Because we have a standby generator, we had to endure a full minute without power. 😂 Getting the generator was one of our better choices albeit, a relatively minor one.
One of my better life's choices was marrying my wife. My wife makes me a better person. There are very few "my choices" anymore, they are our choices.
When around grandchildren, nieces, nephews in their early teens, I find a way to tell them about how the choices they make will in the now will affect their future choices.
“People took what they wanted, they clutched at coincidences, the few there were, and made a life from them. . .. Choices are made in brief seconds and paid for in the time that remains.” - Paolo Giordano, The Solitude of Prime Numbers

Did you ever see Toy Story 3? Remember the scene toward the end where all of the toys accept their fate of being incinerated, but the giant claw comes and saves them all? Let's try to make #today the claw because lately, it feels like the incinerator. Here's your #morning #mantra for #Thursday.

Good #Morning everyone.
Hope all are well today! Last night was a really rough night sleep for me but thankfully it’s a day off today.
Need to get up shortly and take the little one to school.
Hope you are all behaving yourselves! 😁
Good morning. 🍄🍄🍄
Is the first sip of coffee always bitter? I should point out that I drink black coffee, French roast. I'd say the first sip is usually a little bitter, the second smooth. It's not completely unlike drinking whiskey, unless you're far too accustomed to the taste, the first sip is a little hard swallow. I should also point out that I don't drink alcohol ... anymore.
Coffee, though, is my last vice. I like to sit around and sip two or three or four cups in the morning. I sip it while I'm writing my morning muse. Then I often take my coffee outside in the morning air.
“Coffee is a lot more than just a drink; it’s something happening. Not as in hip, but like an event, a place to be, but not like a location, but like somewhere within yourself. It gives you time, but not actual hours or minutes, but a chance to be, like be yourself, and have a second cup” - Gertrude Stein, Selected Writings

Good morning Mastodonians!
You can smell the Canadian fires here today and the air quality is approaching dangerous levels if not there already. No field training today, obviously.

I feel like I just had 5 hours of #nightmares. One was about bugs being in my bed, and another was about a home invasion in a small town where the cops would take 45 min to get there. But at least I'm awake and lucky enough not to have those come true. Here is your #morning #mantra for #Wednesday June 7th.
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this #gift to help everyone I can.

Welcome to #Tuesday, friends. It's the day I drink the most #coffee since on #Monday's I'm motivated to do well all week. But by today that has worn off and I just want to go back to #bed. But keep it up! Almost to hump day! Here is your #morning #mantra
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise and I will use this #gift to help everyone I can.
#photography for #today is the sunrise over the highway near my house.

Good #morning, checks and balancettes!
You want to know what happened after tumblr banned porn? Well, surely, I thought, everyone who liked it for that must be looking for an alternative. There must be somewhere else for us to go to. Surely, another site will try to pick up a massive amount of users just looking to post some adult stuff.
And so I went, from site to site, never quite finding the right community, or the right administration, or the right features. Until I found Mastodon.

Good morning, friends. 🐿️🐿️☕
The dogs were at the bedroom door just after five this morning. I thought maybe it was storming, so I got up. It wasn't storming, so I let the dogs out (in case you were wondering who). The reason they were agitated was some animal was in the backyard. It was probably a large squirrel or maybe a racoon. My bird bath was overturn and a hanging bird feeder was on the ground with the cable broken from one side. I think can repair it. The large brick of seeds that was inside ... gone. I might need to start putting the feeders away at night.

Greetings, fellow people, and welcome back to #Monday. It's going to be a week. A whole week. Just think about all the chances you have to start something over, try again, or begin something new! It's never to late to change your #habits if you want to. Here is your #morning #mantra
I am thankful for living to see another #sunrise, and I will use this #gift to #help everyone I can.
#photography for #today is this amazing fog I caught floating above the ground one morning on my way to work. I thought it was awesome!

#morning all & especially my new peeps, you’re all mad, have u read my profile ?
I’m humbled that u think I’m worth following, I’ll try not to disappoint.
With that in mind, as some will know I buggered my stomach muscles the other day.
Not after sympathy here but its painful to move / cough / laugh but now, & you’re not allowed to laugh at this, it hurts when I fart!
My wife has to turn away so I don’t see her giggle when I let 1 rip & let out a little screech!
Stop it, it’s not funny !
Almost forgot today was #Sunday. I didn't sleep in but I did get to go to breakfast with my mom and brothers which is very rare. I hope you're spending today with someone you care about even if that's your self. Here is your #morning #mantra.

"Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way" - Gene Raskin
Mary Hopkin sang "Those Were the Days." But the earliest recording of the song was in Russian, sang by the Georgian singer Tamara Tsereteli in 1925. Gene Raskin wrote new English lyrics to the song. Paul McCartney produced the Hopkin version. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Those_Were_the_Days_(song)
"Those Were the Days" was one of my favorite songs back in the day -1968. I might remember it as a school bus song. The bus's radio was always tuned to the pop/rock station. I still hear it in my head from time to time.
"Whatever I like, even after a long time, I still like it. And I reminisce about the moment when I first heard it. That's what I love. Just remembering those moments." - G-Dragon

I got up in disarray this morning. My wife and I were going to take a short trip to a Safari Park near Alexandria, but then I remembered it's Ben's haircut day. So I rushed around to get him to the groomer's place.
To you recall Maslow's hierarchy of needs? If you're not familiar, I encourage you to look it up. At the top of the hierarchy is Self-Actualization. When you're at that stage then supposedly, you have all that you need. I did struggle briefly when I retired, I needed something to do, a hobby. I had choices so I picked one and then settled in for the ride. That's where I am, and I have very few wants. But I do want a Canon 100-400 mm lens 😂.

My day flows a lot more peacefully if I get to begin it creatively. Just doodling or painting quietly to myself or having a video play in the background.
How do you ideally like to start your day?

I had this song on my mind this morning. For some reason, I thought it was by the Rascals, but I was wrong. After looking it up I remembered, of course.
Did you know that you never stop dreaming? Well, it's true. But after many years go by, the things that you find wonder in change. It's called maturity or experience, maybe both. For example, I thought I would want a new car when I retired, but you know what? I don't care about the car, and I barely use the one that I have. What I want is to sit and stare at the sky, watch the birds, and take a photo or two.

Before we moved to Louisiana, I had never seen an alligator in the wild. Then we drove south down towards the coast and there were many of them. Friends tell me they are in the freshwater lakes around where I live. But I've not seen one. There is even a small lake nearby named Alligator Lake, though again, I've not seen an alligator at Alligator Lake. True, just because I haven't seen them doesn't mean that they aren't there.
It's a little like that college introductory course in philosophy: What is it to know? I don't really know they are there; I only believe they are there because other people said so. When I say I know something, often, what I actually mean is I've seen enough evidence to believe it is true. I do know that I'm sitting in my office with Ben curled up next to my chair.

I screwed up yesterday. I remembered that I hadn't installed the drivers for my new motherboard yet, so I got the USB stick that came with the motherboard and installed them. When I initially started the install there were three drivers that were unchecked so I checked them. Now I'm having trouble with Topez Denoise AI. I thought I would remember those three drivers, but as usual ... not so much. I'll figure it out, but it would have been less painful if I used a little more caution.

I should get more computer parts in today; I'm expecting a fan and RAM. I guess that now-a-days, they call the heat sink and fan a CPU cooler. I need to keep up on technology contemporary lingo. When I worked, I was computer professional you know, and I just learned of the essential vernacular shift a couple days ago. I am of course, just talking nonsense which is good for the soul.
Contemporary American slang amuses me. At work, I used to occasionally use the word "word" to express agreement with something somebody else said. Mind you, I was in my 60s. I enjoyed getting a reaction. I even made up my own word, "geniosity" for the level of genius a person possessed. It was fun.

Good morning, friends. 🌹🌹☕
My wife is away in Georgia, so I leave the bedroom door open when I sleep. Ben comes in and slips under the bed for the night, and Charlie ... well ... I'm not completely certain where Charlie sleeps but he spends time in the Foyer, some time in a chair, etc. But he usually wakes me at about 06:00 AM. This morning he didn't though, I woke at about 06:45. Charlie was right there at the side of the bed. He had been patiently waiting for me to get up.
In morning, I sit here for a while wondering what to write. Sometimes it comes to me right away and other times I struggle with thought. Part of the struggle is avoiding politics and religion. My blog is about birds and photography, but in the morning, I like to muse over coffee. The quote this morning is about belief.
