If we’re lucky, trump and/or Kim Jong-Un won’t blow up the planet this coming week. Unless something insane happens during the imminent fly-by of asteroid 2014 JO25, on April 19th, at a distance of 1.1 million miles, we could get through the week.
And if we’re really lucky and make it safely through these fucked-up times, and humankind is still around ten years from now, another asteroid will be visiting us at approximately 236,000 miles, about the same distance away as our moon. If the scientists are off a bit in their calculations, who knows, perhaps 1999 AN10 will be merciful and finish us off.
In the meantime, enjoy these glorious pictures of a wide variety of places on this planet we call home.

If you’ve not had a chance to give Green Day’s new album, “Revolution Radio” a listen, I recommend it. It is hands down their best stuff since “American Idiot”.
“How did a life on the wild side,
Ever get so dull?”
Well, Ill Kim Dung tried to shoot off some fireworks, but the fuse was wet, and he had no joy from it. I wonder what flavor cake Donald is eating tonight.
That silly giraffe finally gave birth, and I missed it. *sigh*
What giraffe?

April had a baby boy.
We should have our own naming contest.
April the giraffe! What planet do you live on — Planet facebook-free? 😆
Honestly, if Wayne hadn’t mentioned it to me, I wouldn’t have a clue either. (I stay off of FB as much as I can.)
We did Easter today, our niece and her husband came down from Boston. (Emily, at least, knew about April.) A couple of old friends of Bobby and Judy who used to live up the street were there, so there was a lot of reminiscing. We had a good time. And I managed to get through the whole day without xanax!
I saw a pic of you and Wayne with a bunch of people on FB earlier, and it looked like a nice time. 🙂 Needing no xanax is always a big plus!
Happy Easter Bunny Day. 🙂
Planet Facebook-Free. At least this planet USED to be that wonderful.

New thread up.
Fareed Zakaria: “Liberals have to be careful to avoid Trump Derangement Syndrome.” and “Do we want what’s better for America, or what’s worse for Donald Trump?”
Fareed, there’s nothing deranged about opposing an over privileged, spoiled rich brat who is willing to go along with a political party whose single mission is to take from the majority and funnel it all to the same spoiled rich class he is a member of. Actually, what is better for America IS what is worse for Donald Trump!
