Slava Ukraini


One year ago, brutal fascist dictator Vladimir Putin gleefully invaded his peaceful, non-threatening neighbor Ukraine. Since Day One, Putin’s disgraced, incompetent, and unprofessional armed forces have targeted civilians and destroyed critical infrastructure in an attempt to terrorize Ukrainians into capitulating.

That stupidity hasn’t worked.

It is now time to declare Russia a terrorist state; brand as war criminals Vladimir Putin, his generals, and Yevgeny Prigozhin; and issue international arrest warrants for all.

When Putin’s barbarous regime falls, any country choosing to grant him sanctuary should suffer severe international sanctions until such time as this crimial is relinquished and sent to answer for his heinous crimes.

Today, instead of a gallery, I’m just going to post the individual pictures with captions. Let me know if you prefer this, which is a bit more labor intensive but still fun.

A Day in Limberg an der Lahn, Germany — Seeing Red(s)


Limburg — a town with a lot of red

One of the recurring themes in Limburg is red. Everywhere. On practically everything. Red here is hard to escape, but the splashes of color seem to fit the ambiance of the city. As you stroll these streets, you are being transported 800+ years into the past, and it shows everywhere you go. But you can’t escape those reds. Or… can you?

Brown sandwiched between reds

Ooops. Short reprieve. Right back in the red zone:

The many slate tile roofs are also a fun feature:

That’s it for today, as I leave you with these views of Limburg:
