Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

How any woman could possibly vote for this smug smarmy piece of misogynistic crap is beyond understanding.

When you’re in more danger from the IDF than from Russian shelling, that’s really bad.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

The lights are all blinking red.

The real work of an opposition party is to oppose.

The fight for our country is always worth it. ~Kamala Harris

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

The republican speaker is a slippery little devil.

When they say they are pro-life, they do not mean yours.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Tick tock motherfuckers!

This country desperately needs a functioning fourth estate.

They punch you in the face and then start crying because their fist hurts.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Pessimism assures that nothing of any importance will change.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

Bark louder, little dog.

The republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.

Make the republican party small enough to drown in a bathtub.

    Wow, I had never heard of this. Now I get to spend hours educating myself. Thanks for an amazing diversion in a stressful time.

    How were these concrete creations constructed?  I am genuinely curious. I have wanted to create some small whimsies for my garden, but this seems like an extraordinary level of intricacy.

    @Charluckles: I am not sure what you are asking for. As with all concrete construction it was done with forms and reinforcement, usually rebar but there were probably instances where they used re-screen and other stuff.

    The images of Las Pozas are evocative.  Really remarkable.  I couldn’t believe there were only 7 comments on the Las Pozas post from yesterday.

    Our Lady and Juan Diego! My doggie graves are patterned after the Our Lady of Guadalupe shrines you often see in Mexico. Instead of bathtubs I use wheel barrows. Here’s Bohdi’s.

    Really a unique place. I checked the website and found out how quirky the artist was. Quite the find.

    @OzarkHillbilly:

    I guess I can’t wrap my head around building a form for some of these things.

    @Charluckles: Yeah, very elaborate construction. As noted in yesterdays Good Hands pic, those forms were hand carved. No doubt some things were poured in stages. If you look at the right hand edge of the There Be Dragons pic, you will see 3 standing on end snakes along the walkway (I don’t recall exactly how many there are, at least 6, maybe a dozen, maybe more). I can’t remember how they were placed, whether with a concrete base at the bottom or just stuck into the ground.At any rate, the forms for them would be quite simple to build.

    They are actually mosaiced. That pic doesn’t do them justice.

    @raven: Over the years I heard a lot of stories about him, some of which were just flat wrong, others I am unable to confirm. The truth is fascinating enough.

    I love this. Thanks for sharing this magical place OzarkHillbilly.

    I looked up some videos for more. Here’s a short one Great Gardens: Las Pozas, Mexico

    @Tenar Arha: ​Thanx for that video. Now I am homesick for Las Pozas again. I just did the math and damn, it’s been 20 years since I was last there.

    Life happened.
