Today, I thought that I would offer you the first stop on a tour of the United States, via the stupidest laws that I could find online. And what’s even funnier is that these laws are actually still on the books, although I don’t know how many of them can possibly be enforced. Today’s stupid […]

Yesterday, I went to the Lights for Liberty rally in Buffalo with Jude and Jessica. Jude (pictured here with me) is also known as the Button Lady.

Each garden was different and unique, and each garden had a story to tell. Today, I am going to share via photographs

Today, I walked in the Independence Day parade in the Town of Grand Island, New York. OK, well, sometimes, I walked. Sometimes, I handed out packets of seeds, and, sometimes, I took pictures. And, sometimes, I ran to catch up! Here are some of the images of Independence Day 2019: Here are the cowboys (and
