Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I really should read my own blog.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

“woke” is the new caravan.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

They’re not red states to be hated; they are voter suppression states to be fixed.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

The willow is too close to the house.

Roe isn’t about choice, it’s about freedom.

In my day, never was longer.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

No one could have predicted…

People are complicated. Love is not.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

You can’t love your country only when you win.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

On The Road

On the Road is a weekday feature spotlighting reader photo submissions.

From the exotic to the familiar, whether you’re traveling or in your own backyard, we would love to see the world through your eyes.

Submit Your Photos

Good Morning All,

This weekday feature is for Balloon Juicers who are on the road, travelling, etc. and wish to share notes, links, pictures, stories, etc. from their escapades. As the US mainland begins the end of the Earth day as we measure it, many of us rise to read about our friends and their transient locales.

So, please, speak up and share some of your adventures, observations, and sights as you explore, no matter where you are. By concentrating travel updates here, it’s easier for all to keep up-to-date on the adventures of our fellow Commentariat. And it makes finding some travel tips or ideas from 6 months ago so much easier to find…

Have at ’em, and have a safe day of travels!

 

Should you have any pictures (tasteful, relevant, etc….) you can email them to [email protected] or just use this nifty link to start an email: Start an Email to send a Picture to Post on Balloon Juice

 

Summer melons on sale, Musso farms, Pueblo, Colorado

While not as amazing as the Rocky Ford cantaloupes, the ones in Pueblo are amazing, as are the peppers (pueblo chiles and the best jalapenos, so flavorful and spicy). The canaries are especially good – the free samples are like cool candy, just so refreshing after the long, hot drive there. Once you take one or two home, the melon is a welcome treat when you come in from some outside chores.

 

More from Sloane Ranger!

6 June 2017. Brussels. Say it with flowers. Advertising for a perfumery.

 

Brussels 6 June 2017. One side of Grande Place.

 

Ghent. Statue outside Ghent Railway Station.

 

I do love public sculpture, it adds so much to urban and suburban spaces.

 

Brussels 6 June 2017. Other views of Grand Place.

 

8 June 2017. Ghent. Celebrating victory of Waterloo. Note the “glass”. Very 1815!

 

Have a great day all, hope your Fourth was enjoyable!

    My husband and I were recruited for a tourist video for Ghent (in Times Square). We learned how to say “I Love Ghent” in Flemish for the video (I don’t remember how).

    Great pictures!
