    Vincent Price was a good guy (as far as I know). He was a big supporter of the arts. &quot;Price also spent time working as an art consultant for Sears, Roebuck and Co. From 1962 to 1971, Sears offered the &quot;Vincent Price Collection of Fine Art&quot;, selling about 50,000 fine-art prints to the general public. Works that Price selected or commissioned for the collection included some by Rembrandt, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dalí.&quot; I got to frame one a couple of years ago. 🙂 #Mons...

    With all of the rain, I drove over to Canyon De Chelly to see if any of the dryfalls or pourovers were happening. The one I was hoping would be a nice waterfall was just a trickle, but I found a couple of others that were flowing pretty good. Anyway, first, here&#39;s a nice ancient cliff dwelling. #VisitWithRespect #BlackAndWhite #MonoChrome #Landscape #Travel #RoadTrip #Photography #Darktable

    Yesterday, at 4am, the Senate confirmed the president&#39;s personal defense atty as the next US Atty General, then they all left town on recess. I don&#39;t understand how congressional Democrats have the organizational ability to get elected but have no clue how to force the media to properly cover the Regime&#39;s coup. Me? I&#39;d organize my colleagues, campout on the Capitol steps 24/7, &amp; make noise until the media properly covers what&#39;s going on in DC. Why are the Dems so inept? T...

    Uh-oh! A debt-fuelled boom &quot;More than a million South Koreans are underwater as a result of the crash, and several hundred thousand have lost everything...&quot; &quot;They borrowed to the hilt to take part in a frenzied splurge on technology stocks, particularly memory chip makers, in a market now experiencing a savage reversal.&quot; &quot;Nothing, not even the stellar earnings of the country&#39;s two biggest chip makers, has been able to stem the panic...&quot; Via: @SrRochardBunso...

    I can&#39;t even being to tell you how much I love this! This sign is on a bridge that crosses the Animas River. In the upper left corner it says, &quot;Aztec Ruins National Monument.&quot; The bridge is on the route of the Old Chaco Road (850-1250CE) &amp; the Old Spanish Trail (1829-1850). The little group of lights seen above the right side of the sign is where I now live! The Aztec Ruins (structures) are in the dark on the far right. (Note: The structures are Ancestral Puebloan , not Aztec.)...

    Wow, look what I found! But it&#39;s certainly not as big as I thought it would be. And I didn&#39;t think I&#39;d find it in Brookings, Oregon, either. 🤔

    I found this nice photo of a Crotaphytus collaris (collared lizard) that I made when I took a Bloomberg reporter out on a recon of the first Tesla Gigafactory under construction east of Reno. Yours truly broke the news. Back then I was heavily involved in the energy / EV space. This was back when we all knew Musk was a mercurial employer / person, but before the world found out he would happy commit--in my opinion--crimes against humanity. #WIldlife #EV #Energy #Photography #Darktable

    Once upon a time, eleven years ago, my strawberry patch looked like this. I learned after they started dying back several years later that you have to cut the runners once the new plant has established itself. Leaving it connected to the old plant will cause it to die when the old plant dies. Strawberry plants only live 5-8 years--so cut those runners! #Strawberry #Gardening #Fruit
