Well, yesterday, my worn and tattered, 4-year-old Trump flag got all tangled up in my autumnal front door decorations, and so rather than have it completely disintegrate by Inauguration Day, I officially took it down last evening when I got home from my shift.

Here is what it looked like when it was brand new and not so tattered:

And now it is at least clean, and folded, and stored away for posterity. I loved that flag. I wonder if my neighbors will be astounded to discover that it is now gone?!

Okay!!

On a similar note — I love these guys!!! I am so grateful for them. I guess when heroes are in the process of flying around on their private jet and saving the free world, they dine on fare from McDonalds:

Okay. Phil is supposed to do a livestream TONIGHT at 8PM Eastern. I guess we shall see!!! Check here later to confirm.

And tonight is the final show of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ Wild God Tour. It is sold out — in Paris. I cannot even imagine how spectacular the show is going to be, gang.

Here is George Vjestica (Bad Seeds guitar player) in Paris just now:

And here is Keith from a few years ago, but I love this photo! I found it yesterday on Instagram.

And speaking of Keith….

Since everything else is changing, I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to do the Daily Feature, but for now, here it is!

Our random selection today came from Chapter Three: The Philosophy of Keith!! And the topic is BOREDOM.

Keith says:

“Boredom? To me that’s an illness.”

And I don’t know about you, gang, but I can seriously relate. I have never been the type of person who easily gets bored. It just doesn’t happen. My mind is always going and going and going.

Okay!

Another new thing in my life!!

In two weeks, I begin firearms training!

The one and only time in my life when I tried to learn how to shoot a gun (a rifle), I was 17 years old and absolutely terrible at it. But we’ll see how it goes this time. And this time it will be primarily a pistol.

I’m taking the classes HERE: Buckeye Shooting Center:

And on that note —

Today is the first day that Valerie and I are doing our new creativity/accountability schedule plan — whatever the heck you’d call it!

But we’re both excited to get started. (See yesterday’s post.) And that means I gotta scoot, because I also have to work another (shorter) double today.

So enjoy your Sunday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

I leave you with this! Continuing that “Americans with Guns” theme!

From Johnny Horton — his huge hit from 1959, “The Battle of New Orleans”. Enjoy, gang!!
