[reading from the 29th scroll, sixth verse, of Ape Law] ‘Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport, or lust, or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.’

7 years ago today, we went to Ripley’s in Baltimore. I am 6’6″ and Wadlow dwarfed me via his 8’11” height.
Still staying in these days!

Today I am team “I can hear the near silent hum of electrical appliances and the bubbles fizzing in the can of soda on the coffee table, but can’t watch tv without subtitles and processes conversation at ¼ speed”

Today’s swamp walk l saw more osprey and turkey vultures. Frogs and toads must be on to me, I haven’t seen any in a bit now. A new turtle literally in my yard on the way to heading indoors…. not the same critter as the more yellow box turtle from yesterday though. I hope this little dude decides to hang out here… I am happy to toss our veg scraps in the yard for squirrels and bunnies… a little motorcycle helmet with legs would surely be welcome too. #swampwalk #turtle #damnitishot

I am going to need some context, here.

Swampwalk thursday June 25

Swamp walk a little earlier this morning, trying to beat the heat and see more critters. I lucked into this little hard shelled turtle who wandered pretty far from the water’s edge. A few squirrels and smaller birds, but maybe I should head out earlier to spot frogs and the other beasties before it cracks the 80s. I tend to avoid the area where other folks gather based on where waste can be found. If there is a plastic bag or an aluminum can, I usually assume neighborhood kids are using it as a hangout. I generally prefer the quadruped and birds to humans out in the swamp.

Some meme pointed out that this is the first time we’ve ever really seen him demoralized. School shootings, 120,000 people dead from a pandemic, unarmed people shot by police, rebellion in the streets, impeachment, wildfires, children in cages… Nothing ever seemed to get him down.
Then, one dark day, not enough people showed up to clap for him.
