"Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?!" - Jack Handey.
SO, in case you've never heard of Jack Handey, he's pretty much the funniest person ever. His 'Deep Thoughts' first aired on SNL a loooong time ago. I have all the books, have since I was a kid, check them out!! I think a lot are also online. I chose this photo because he always has some unassuming scene paired with his quotes. And ALSO, I finally got a water shot that was contrast-y. Turns out, all you need is some good light!
Fortune found in a fortune cookie from Leann Chinn takeout
Apple Valley Minnesota
Friday June 10th, 2022
Myself personally, I have never been a giant fan of the fortune cookie. Granted the fortunes are fun to read and sometimes can be quite humorous, but I've never been all that fond of the taste of them
This past weekend I went to a wonderful dinner on Haleiwa Farms by The Drunken Masterchef called Farm-To-Chopstix. Many of the ingredients in the five course dinner are from the farm there and prepared fresh for the meal. Each course was accompanied by a beer pairing from craft breweries. I was taking photos for the event. I’ll post some of them later, but this was my favorite shot of the night. After darkness fell I was using my flash mostly so the photos had some clarity and readability to them. But, I decided to go to auto-ISO and forego the flash for some “ambience” shots. This was actually one of the very last shots I took. It shows the warm vibe and overall contentment from the meal and communion with others… many of whom met for the first time that evening.
Not sure who this guy was but he was certainly deep in thought as I snapped the shot!

A majestically beautiful animal, so much like us, it is amazing to see them. I really love animals, especially in those moments when they don't seem to notice us and are absorbed in themselves.

I really wasn't thinking about much of anything when I took this but it sure looks like I was.... well yes.. I was. I was thinking about this...

Right I've finished the set of Photowalk images and they are all here www.maxblackphotos.com/new-images.html you might want to hazard a guess as to which one is going in the leaders competition...
What runs through your head, dear Sophie? That cute little poodle you met at the groomer's? The rabbit that hangs out in the corner of the courtyard? The doggy door and backyard that you had the run of at our former home?
Happy Furry Friday from Sophie and me... have a great weekend!
When was the last time that you played an enjoyable game? If you quit playing because it is a child's sport, then you are wrong. As George Bernard Shaw said, "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Ad infinitum, thought can bend ideas themselves as each pensive notion gets so deep that absolutes fall into the abyss. Eventually, our thoughts think thoughts of their own and the sideways spiral of ideology creates its self out of itself. Meaningless jabber or insightful reasoning worth considering as a wicked wisdom of this world. You be the judge.

[The Max Defense; Seaside Dike]
@Paonay Dike, Bayawan City, negros Oriental
The City of Bayawan is very like this sea wall. It stands upon a sea which is very narrow and which curves, and in which there rises and falls a most considerable tide, and which is bounded by slimy cemented sides.
Cyclists fly by, tourists stroll, joggers cruise the paths and all Seawall denizens look out onto the bay. The gaze to the sea is not fa cry from the one we glaze at the expanse heaven, The painted sun, the murmuring sea, the whispering wind and this incredibly intense feeling when you learn to appreciate the value of the earth - it's beauty.
I feel like plunging into the vast ocean feeling that touch of water where tears from the past up until now are blended and flavoured to new; instead of sweet and bitter, we got this salty taste. to remind us that life isn't just about bitterness and sweetness but beyond these, if we only just clear our eyes, is another taste of life - which is I am still about to discover.

I spent some time looking out the window this morning.
Sometimes looking out the window can be cathartic in letting us listen to the background noise of our minds I think.
Like sitting on the seashore listening to the lullaby of the waves.
I was thinking about that theater shooting in Colorado.
It's such a horrible and senseless thing.
I read that the Whitehouse and a number of other state and local governments ordered their flags flown at half mast as a symbol of mourning for the victims of that barbarism.
I can understand that.
But further reading of the news points out that on average forty five people are shot and killed in the United States every day.
Every...
single...
day.
That's about one gun murder every half hour.
In Chicago over the Memorial Day weekend there were forty people shot... ten of them were killed.
Chicago they say, has become the 'murder capital.'
As the economy remains stagnant I've seen the streets get a lot 'dicier.'
I'm horrified at what that asshole did in Colorado at that movie theater.
He murdered fourteen people... one of them was a six year old girl.
It makes me think of some prick hurting my daughter.
If he hurt my kid I'd steal a bulldozer and ram it through the walls at that jail and there wouldn't be a trial... for that dickhead at least.
And I'd probably get off on a 'technicality.'
So our leaders order the flags flown at half mast in mourning for these victims.
But it almost seems disrespectful to all of the other people who are often solitary victims to gun violence to not recognize their plight.
I'll never take advantage of these situations to espouse some political view... that guns should be banned or that we as Americans have a fundamental right to bear arms.
I don't think that those things are even relevant.
I still believe that people have 'free will' even though that seems to be on the decline.
People who hurt other people and commit acts of violence are self centered and barbaric individuals.
That's the real issue.
And it becomes an issue on the day a child is born... how they're brought up... the morals and the values instilled within them.
Mom and dad are at the center of it all.
At least half the time.
The other half of the time children are brought up in single parent homes.
Like mine.
The media... the schools... video games... music... peers and popular culture can tear away at what even the most careful and conscientious parents strive to help their children become.
That kid just didn't wake up one day and decide to go shoot seventy or eighty people in that movie theater.
Some evil was brewing in him for a long time.
'What causes this evil' should be the question I suppose.
And while we're all wondering...
since that shooting...
two hundred and twenty five people have been gunned down in the United States.
Maybe we should just keep the flag at half mast.
