Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This chaos was totally avoidable.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Do we throw up our hands or do we roll up our sleeves? (hint, door #2)

They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.

If you are still in the gop, you are either an extremist yourself, or in bed with those who are.

Fight for a just cause, love your fellow man, live a good life.

If you can’t control your emotions, someone else will.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

There are consequences to being an arrogant, sullen prick.

She burned that motherfucker down, and I am so here for it. Thank you, Caroline Kennedy.

The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.

If you’re gonna whine, it’s time to resign!

Historically it was a little unusual for the president to be an incoherent babbling moron.

Anne Laurie is a fucking hero in so many ways. ~ Betty Cracker

Trumpflation is an intolerable hardship for every American, and it’s Trump’s fault.

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

My right to basic bodily autonomy is not on the table. that’s the new deal.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Dumb motherfuckers cannot understand a consequence that most 4 year olds have fully sorted out.

Conservatism: there are people the law protects but does not bind and others who the law binds but does not protect.

Trump should be leading, not lying.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

I like political parties that aren’t owned by foreign adversaries.

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,

As we move closer to the new site launch, I wanted to remind you to submit things now via the form or to hold off until the new site is live.  The old email address is dead and until the new site is live, there’s no replacement.

I will push all submissions I get into drafts so that, when the new site launches, there’s a bunch of posts ready to go while the dust settles. I don’t expect the new site to launch immediately, but that time is fast approaching, and when it’s ready, it will birth. Now is the time to “stack up” some submissions to ease any content woes when the time comes.

Have a wonderful day, and enjoy the pictures!

 

Today, pictures from valued commenter Le Comte de Monte Cristo, fka Edmund Dantes.

So this summer’s adventure is Greece – specifically, an overnight in Athens followed by some amazing days in Santorini , some more days in Naxos with wife and youngest daughter, and then Athens for some more days.

Youngest daughter is an archaeologist doing a cross-masters in gender studies. She is a fluent Greek speaker and does ancient as well – and was part of the team that found the oldest piece of Limear B discovered to date at the dog at Pyles. She may be the best possible guide I could imagine.

South of Athens

This was a place near the seaside outside Athens, and maybe 20 minutes from the airport. It cost 85 euros, and they did the transport.

Outside Athens

This restaurant was the shit. They picked us up – no charge. It was on the beach, with a beautiful breeze.

We had Mythos beer, a half liter of wine, Greek salad, saganaki (fried cheese), a freshly caught snapper, 200 ml ouzo and a cake ala mode for under $70.

Best part was that it didn’t get hopping till 10:30.

Caldera Romantica, Santorini

We decided to come in a couple of days early. We had a reservation at a luxury property, but needed a day early. This place was great and ran maybe 120 euros after drinks and 2 breakfasts.

    But no pics of the museum exhibits nor the digs in progress? Those were the best part of our trip to Spain and France to see prehistoric cave art, besides the cave art itself. Grad students giving us a tour of their research area, seeing the pits being dug in ancient caves, the tags on the walls and floors of the excavations.

    I kid! Wonderful stuff, thanks for showing us some of your journey, great that you had such a well educated and experienced guide!!!

    Wife and I are having trouble picking out somewhere to go.

    The American Institute of Archaeology still takes folks into Iran to see the glory of ancient Persia. And into the ‘Stans to travel the Silk Road! So ancient, so interesting, so scary.

    I’ve always wanted to see Greece. If I ever get over there, I’ll check first to see if your daughter is available! ;-) Thank you for the pictures!
