The Raccoon in the Woods: Appalachian Impermanence
The remnants of local raccoon. The critters and the elements reduced it to this state in a matter of a few days. I actually saw a box turtle knawing on it in concert with a couple of big snails, along with the standard issue maggots and flies. It died a violent death. Dogs, I think.
This is the same animal, taken three days prior, before the heavy rains and the scavengers completed their important work.

Beautyberry
That there's a beautyberry bush, lower right. I picked this up several years ago at Jansch Nursery in Wartburg, after a prison visit. It has little clusters of purple berries that gather at the ends of its branches. Flora native to East Tennessee.

Elliot Smith - Waltz #2 (XO)
It's sooo sweet to stumble upon a new song of this caliber. I got turned on to it last night as I watched a documentary about the life and times of Elliot Smith. "I'm never going to know you now, but I'm going to love you anyhow."

Robert Moore, Crime Reporter - Citizen Tribune
That there's Bob Moore on the right. He was my friend. Problem is, Bob got invited to watch Nicky Sutton's electrocution over in Nashville back in March of 2020. He came home and drank himself to death. Bob was 60.
Careful of the images you allow to be pressed up against your mind's eye if you opt to press your face up against the glass. You never know when one more's going to be that sentence-ending one-too-many. Peace, Bob.

Global Warming and Climate Change Logo - Siberian Wildfires 2021 - An Ominous Image
This image is a fitting logo for global warming and climate change. With these contastrophies in the works, destructive duo that has resulted from the ad hominem ignition of fossil fuel and consequent carbon emissions, Siberians no longer have to go out to cut wood to bring it in to warm their homes. Global warming has ostensibly reversed the process.

Places Named After Numbers, by Frank Black
"Beyond below above, a gravity that slumbers
at the center of, places named after numbers,
a different kind of love.
(Chorus)
She was right,
she was right there,
she was right there all the time,
collapsing all the way.
And though it seems far from here,
light beams disappear,
into her blackend hair,
I wonder if they reappear.
She was right,
she was right there,
she was right there all the time,
collapsing all the way."

Great cover of Walking on the Moon, by one of my favorite bands, the Police. This is a great song about falling in love.

NPR did a piece called "This I Believe" a few years back. Listeners were invited to recite their core beliefs about anything...
