One can view going from a citizen of a republic to the subject of a monarchy as a step down.

I think the Duchess will land on her feet, though...

Happy Days to Prince Harry and Princess Megan! Shake up the royal family for us...

Friday Night Wine Buzz. Feeling no pain.

And frantically drinking water to stave off a Saturday morning hangover...

Ask me anything...

My step-daughter and son-in-law are coming to visit in a couple of weeks. And so are his Trumpster

parents.

Ugh.

They're one of the reasons we left our church; them and the 81% Trump supporters statistics say attended the church with us.

Mrs. Aristus and I have already resolved to avoid any political discussions. My son-in-law (not a Trumpanzee, thank God) warned us, however, that his parents love to bait non-Trumpers to provoke a reaction. It takes a Trumpster to be rude enough to insult and offend one's hosts, but we have decided to just leave the room if they start something.

The things one does for family...

Praying that something will break our way tomorrow or this week.

Motherfucker got his embassy, his massacre of Muslims, his fucking military parade.

When is he going to face the consequences?...

No Wine-Buzz thread tonight. I'm heading into the weekend sober.

No, no. I'm all right. Everything is fine. Don't worry. Everything is fine.

Just cutting back a little, that's all.

Good evening, Loungers! I love you all...

Buzzing pleasantly on some Absolut vodka. Don't judge me; I'm on vacation...

A drenching cloudburst, lightning, and thunder here in Western Washington.

Makes me wonder if it's a portent.

Storms on the horizon...

In an ugly time, take a few moments to savor the tranquil beauty...

Friday Night Wine-Buzz. Ask me anything.

Spent the day in a powerful indica fog (or was it sativa? The jury is out...).

Now I've got a few glasses of Cabernet in me. Life is good...

Just ate two cannabis caramels. 10g apiece.

Looking forward to a relaxing day...
