Here's your Friday afternoon timeline cleanse, courtesy of Brimley and Beetus. Have a great weekend. – at Shrewsbury, MA
The interior of a disused church that I photographed three years ago. It's since been repurposed into a community center and affordable housing.

Brimley was having a little too much fun with the laundry basket today. Looks like it's time to buy a new one!
Whatever hope I had left for humanity evaporated the moment I saw this in the store today. Any guesses what's next? (On second thought, I'd rather not know!)

On Friday I adopted two nine-week-old kitten brothers. I named them Brimley and Beetus! Having lost my long-time companion and little buddy Clifford last month, bringing these two into my home has started healing my broken heart.
If you're looking for a furry companion to complete your life, be sure to go to your local shelter and adopt. Brimley and Beetus came from the same shelter I adopted Clifford from in 2020. You might find they have rescued you as much as you have rescued them.
My building entryway has turned into the Amazon graveyard. No two of these packages go to the same address, and none of them go here, either; a few of them have been here for weeks. Amazon used to be great - order today, get your items within two days. Now you never know where they'll end up because of a failed delivery system with no accountability.

My little buddy Clifford crossed The Rainbow Bridge yesterday. He was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma in July and put up a good fight for the past six weeks. To say that I'm heartbroken is an understatement.
Clifford touched a lot of people's lives on social media, and his "Team Clifford" fundraising will live on to help fund cancer studies at Tufts University, as well as help place adoptable kitties into their forever homes.
My little buddy Clifford was recently diagnosed with large cell lymphoma. As difficult as the news was to hear, we've been blessed to have the great people at Tufts University Small Animal Hospital provide such great care during his cancer treatments.
Clifford has been the star of Team Clifford for the past several years as the 'spokescat' of many fund raisers to benefit the care of cats awaiting adoption. In our house, however, he's my little pal who really needs me now more than ever.
Happy 250th Birthday to The United States of America.
I hope your day is a safe one filled with friends and family celebrating this very special Fourth of July 🇺🇸

Robert Palmer left us far too young, but he left us with some great music, and lyrics that deliver a powerful message we should all be listening to.
"There's no profit in deceit
Honest men know that revenge does not taste sweet
Whether yellow, black or white
Each and every man's the same inside"

My uncle, John Charles Blake, was my mother's youngest brother. A 1963 high school graduate, John served our nation in Vietnam in the United States Navy as Petty Officer 3rd Class. He was deployed with the 2nd Battalion of the Fifth Marines in Quang Nam Province, southwest of Da Nang.
On March 21, 1970, incoming 155mm rounds bombarded John's unit. He, along with 26 other Marines were struck by shrapnel from the rounds. John was rushed to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries with his brother Andy, also a Marine, by his side.
John is memorialized on The Vietnam Veteran's Memorial (The Wall) at Panel W12, Line 28, and on the War Veteran's Memorial on the common in Brattleboro, VT, his hometown, also the place of my own birth.
Remember the sacrifice our veterans, both living and passed, have made for us. Never forget that freedom is never free, and we are in debt to them for their service for our great nation.
