Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Come on, man.

Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

Let’s show the world that autocracy can be defeated.

When the time comes to make an endorsement, the pain of NYT editors will be palpable as they reluctantly whisper “Biden.”

Damn right I heard that as a threat.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

People are complicated. Love is not.

So many bastards, so little time.

There are no moderate republicans – only extremists and cowards.

President Biden is doing good where he can, and getting it done.

Somebody needs to explain to DeSantis that nobody needs to do anything to make him look bad.

If West Virginia and San Francisco had a love child.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Republican speaker of the house Mike Johnson is the bland and smiling face of evil.

We’re not going back!

People are weird.

How can republicans represent us when they don’t trust women?

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Seems like a complicated subject, have you tried yelling at it?

Republicans in disarray!

Sunrise from Spring Mountain in the Napa Valley, 2006. For 10 years during my wine career, I represented small family owned wineries from Santa Barbara in the south, to the Anderson Valley in northern California. One of my tasks was to entertain clients by guiding tours from winery to winery. Our Napa Valley winery had a guest house near the top of Spring Mountain. Here you see the early morning fog on the Valley floor.

Sunrise St. Augustine Pier, 2020. For me, sunrise at the beach is nirvana-esque.

      Great captures! I agree about beach sunrises, especially in Florida.

      Lovely photos. I don’t miss living in Florida—the humidity gets to me—but hard to beat the sunrises and sunsets.

      A Napa visit is a dream.

      Wow.

      We have taken to watching the Brit/French police procedural comedy Death in Paradise just to see the Caribean sunsets featured on every episode.

      What a great idea! I hope that others are inspired by this post to send in their 10 favorite sunsets and sunrises from the past!

      And I certainly agree with you about beach sunrises. That is a sublime time to be at a beach.

      Thanks!

      I feel calmer just looking at these.

      graves from 1797, wow!  And some crazy clouds.  TN looks like the apocalypse.  Napa Valley is stunning, and the sunrise at St. Augustine Pier is like nothing I have ever seen.

      What a great idea for a collection of photos.

      A brief sleep interruption in the wee-wee early hours greeted me with these dynamic, drop-dead photos.  Could not have brought anything other than the force of nature bringing on calm, blissful relaxation as I enjoyed them.

      They are each lovely.

      Your Wiley E Coyote is accompanied by Mamatus (sp?) clouds, from mamary. All we need is Mamatus over the Tetons to have a big titty picture.
